The place was bustling, with the faint scent of disinfectant lingering in the air. A young mother, her face etched with worry, sat across from the orthopedic doctor, holding a three-year-old boy in her arms. There was a noticeable bruise on the boy's lower leg.

The woman felt a bit relieved but still couldn't shake her concern. "But what if the pain doesn't go away?"

"If you're really worried, we could have an X-ray done to get a better look at the injury," the doctor suggested, writing out a prescription. "But honestly, from what I see, it shouldn't be anything serious."
