In this chapter, we are introduced to a number of characters, including the doctor, the nurse, and the mother. The doctor, nick lu, is introduced as a "patient" , a term used to describe a person who is sick or injured. The nurse, however, is not a patient; she is a patient of the doctor. The mother, an "annie," is introduced in this chapter as a patient who has lost her son and is in pain. She asks the doctor if he knows of anyone who might be able to help her.
