Urgent Calls (audio story): Difference between revisions

In an attempt to call her mother, a deeply concerned [[Lauren Hudson]] ends up phoning a man who calls himself the Doctor. He informs her that she has the wrong number, but assuming that he is a doctor of medicine Lauren informs him of her concerns; the one which intrigues the Doctor being that the skin around her fingernails is broken and bleeding. He insists that she gets seen at a hospital straight away and be as persistent as possible to get a check up, specifically on her neck. Lauren agrees with his advice and hangs up.

A couple of weeks later, Lauren is at her job as a telephone operator and ends up calling the Doctor again by complete accident. She tells her story; after insisting that she got seen to (even putting on a show of crying), she was attended by doctors who increased in numbers as they noted something strange about her neck . After being quarantined for a couple of hours, an Army official and a specialist doctor attended her and the latter informed her that he was going to operate on her. After the operation, he showed her what they had found - a parasitical metal worm that had been clinging onto her spine, which would have killed her within a day had she not had the operation.
