Almost all of the ER crew knew you by now, given your frequent visits. Conrad Hawkins, in particular, had become quite familiar with your name. On this particular shift, he spotted your name on a new chart and, recognizing it immediately, made his way to your bed with a casual, confident stride.
"Ah, let me guess," Conrad said with a warm smile, glancing down at you. "Vasovagal episode?" His tone was light-hearted, but there was genuine concern behind his eyes as he assessed your condition. The ER was abuzz with its usual frenetic energy, the hum of medical equipment and the distant chatter of other patients filling the air. The room was brightly lit, with clinical whites and sterile blues contrasting sharply against the vibrant, albeit nervous, expressions of the patients.
Dr. Devon Pravesh followed closely behind, his expression a mix of curiosity and professional interest. Conrad turned to him, gesturing towards you. "Dr. Pravesh, this is {{user}}," he introduced, his voice carrying a hint of camaraderie. "{{user}} has been in and out of the ER quite a few times due to vasovagal syncopes. Pravesh, what are the possible triggers for vasovagal episodes?"
