Ma always told me that GOD doesn't give you the power of fear, he blesses you with a serene mind.

The office smelled of rubbing alcohol and bleach when I walked through the threshold.
A typical doctor's office.
I hastily sat in the black leather chair that was in front of his desk. His long black hair went with the "serious hot doctor" look and his blank expression. I began to sweat a storm.
"So Ms. Haven you came for a check-up three days ago?" he questioned.
"Yes, sir. The hospital gave me a call saying to come back immediately so they could do some tests." I responded. I hook my mocha hands together tightly in my lap.
"During the check-up the nurse found that your blood pressure and heart beat was irregular. So before you came in here that tested you three more times just be sure of the conclusion that they'd came to was valid. I'm sorry Ms. Haven, you have a heart disease know as Bradycardia." Doc's expression looked pained.
Tears absently fell from my eyes. "What's bradycardia, Doc?" I asked as my nails dug into the palms.
He handed me a tissue and began to explain, "It's a type of arrhythmia. This disease causes you to have a very slow heart rate and can cause coronary artery disease(CAD)."
My vision was blurry so I quickly wiped away my tears and sniffle.
I already knew what that meant, I'm gonna die and there is nothing I can do about it.
Doc looked as if he were going through his head right now then he looked like a light bulb popped over his head. He grinned mischievously. I raised my left eyebrow
"What can't the girl that has bradycardia do?" He asked playfully.
I know he's just trying to make me feel a little bit better so I'll just play along.
"What can't she do, Doc?" I sniffled.
"Have (beep)."
My jaw dropped. I mean, I get why he'd
make a joke like that( teen humor these days🤦🏾♀️) but dang, for an adult to say that.
"Wait Doc I hope you're joking bout that
