B: Wow. My brother is studying medicine——he wants to be a ____7____ someday.
B: A noble goal! Let me show you the emergency room——it's the most exciting, most hectic place in the hospital.
A: So how does the process work here?
B: Well, patients come in off the street with all sorts of injuries or health problems: broken bones, car accident injuries, you name it!
A: It must get pretty scary in here!
B: Yes, it does. We have the most trouble keeping people calm. Family members who accompany the patients tend to get ____8____ and can sometimes prevent us from efficiently treating the patients. So sometimes we have to ask them to stay in the waiting room.
