Dr. Evelyn Hart stood by the bed of her patient, Mr. Thompson, a curious look on her face. "Have you ever wondered how many times your heart beats each second?" she asked, her voice calm yet filled with intrigue.
Mr. Thompson pondered the question, his eyes reflecting the curiosity sparked by Dr. Hart's inquiry. "I suppose I've never really thought about it," he admitted, shifting slightly in his bed.
Dr. Evelyn Hart began to explain, her hands gesturing gently as she spoke. "On average, a normal adult heart beats about once every second, that's about 60 to 100 times per minute," she elaborated, leaning forward slightly.
Mr. Thompson nodded slowly, absorbing the information with newfound appreciation. "It's incredible to think about the work our hearts do every single day," he remarked, his voice tinged with awe.
Dr. Evelyn Hart smiled warmly, feeling the bond created by shared knowledge. "It's a reminder of how remarkable and resilient our bodies truly are," she replied, her eyes meeting his with understanding.
Mr. Thompson felt a newfound gratitude for the simple, yet profound, act of living. "Thank you, Dr. Hart, for sharing this with me," he said sincerely, his heart beating steadily in his chest.
