Nurse Lockhart inquires about Liv’s symptoms and medical history. Liv opens up, revealing that several years have passed since her last physical exam, underlining the weight of her situation. Nurse Lockhart makes a note of this detail.
Liv’s vital signs are taken, providing a brief respite for her in a reclined position. Dr. Cherry then enters the room, reviewing Liv’s information and engaging in a brief dialogue about her symptoms. The lack of recent physical exams is highlighted again, leaving an impression on Dr. Cherry.
Dr. Cherry instructs Nurse Lockhart to prepare Liv for a complete physical examination. The Doctor navigates Liv’s vulnerability, as Nurse Lockhart compassionately helps her undress. The camera focuses on intimate moments.
Nurse Lockhart assists Liv with her examination gown, carefully arranging her clothes nearby. Dr. Cherry returns and proceeds with a thorough examination. The camera captures key moments of this process: eyes, ears, mouth, reflexes, and mobility. As the exam progresses, Liv’s migraine gradually subsides, her strength returning.
An abdominal and breast examination follows, and Dr. Cherry asks Liv to stand. Liv complies, showcasing her regained strength through a series of tests. The doctor assures Liv that stress is the likely culprit and suggests relaxation techniques like meditation or yoga. Reassured, Liv is left to change back into her clothes.
The scene concludes on a lighter note as Liv exits the exam room. Nurse Lockhart reappears, apologizing for a missed detail. Her friendly tone diffuses the tension as she requests Liv’s height and weight for accurate records. Liv, understanding the necessity, complies with the nurse.
