The scenario

Technician Vicky notices that Kelvin and Maggie Kennedy are darting glances in her direction and whispering so she asks if they need some help. Maggie nods and then jerks her head in the direction of the consultation room so Vicky leads the way, inviting them to take a seat and closing the door.

“Thanks Vicky,” says Maggie. “I – we – want to ask something, but it’s a bit delicate.”

“That’s absolutely fine,” replies Vicky. “There’s little that we haven’t seen, and you know that if I can’t help you, I’ll do my utmost to find out the answer or point you in the direction of someone who knows more than I do.”

“Thanks Vicky,” says Maggie. She looks at her husband, who is studying the floor, and clears her throat. Kelvin looks up reluctantly, and sighs.

“You know I had that heart attack?” he starts.

“Yes, but you’re back to normal now, aren’t you?” asks Vicky.

“Yes, well, except in one department. You know, the bedroom,” says Kelvin quietly. “We want to get things going again, but Maggie’s worried that it will cause too much strain. Please don’t tell me to ask the GP. They have a constant stream of trainees, and I’m sure they all know their stuff, but they’re all so damn young and all seem to be female, so I can’t go in with something like this.”
