西亚寻医记 西亚由于stress太大，觉得自己strained，结果immune system出了问题，实在resist不了bacteria的invading。最近她的symptom越来越严重了，早上起床就dizzy，在家吃了很多pills以后，还是没有找到effective treatment，于是她决定去医院寻求therapy，但愿医生能有不错的prescription。

西亚到了医院，结果电梯正好disabled，身边一起在等电梯的还有个handicapped中年男子和一个pregnant的姑娘。半小时后，西亚总算见到了医生，经过医生的diagnose，西亚得的是抑郁syndrome，这是一种chronic病。

医生给她开了点蓝色的tablets和红白capsules，一天要吃三次，以alleviate西亚的症状。西亚拿着她的medication正要走出医院，发现住在隔壁的大爷由于突发stroke，也被ambulance送了进来。
