"Hey, excuse me!" Elizabeth raced up to the older nurse who seemed to be heading to the infirmary. She was probably leaving Dr. Greene's office, judging by her sour expression.

"How can I help you, dear?" she stopped to face Elizabeth, a rather fake smile plastered on her face. Couldn't they at least do a better job of concealing their misery and hate for this place? 

"I'm just feeling a bit nauseated and need something to help me get rid of it. I haven't eaten much today and the pills I took earlier just made things 10 times worse." Elizabeth was now walking alongside the nurse, noting that she only had a little bit of time left before Josh showed up to her room. 

After a few more meaningless words were exchanged in an attempt to hold a conversation, the women reached the infirmary. Elizabeth noticed how the older nurse scowled when she laid eyes upon Nancy, who was lying down in one of the beds looking like she was just as miserable as the rest of them. But who could blame her, really.

"Here you go, dear. Take one now, preferably with a snack--as a matter of fact, give me a minute." The nurse headed back to one of the rooms and about a minute later walked out again holding a bag of potato chips. "Take one now with this snack and the other one at supper time with your food. That should help get rid of your nausea." 

Elizabeth opened up the bag of chips and started eating them. She was getting hungry now, go figure, so she finished up the bag in about two minutes while the nurse went back to her station to handle some paperwork. After grabbing some water and downing the pill, she thanked the nurse and made her way back to her room again. It was time to find a way to occupy her mind for the next few hours.
