At dawn, Dr. Ortega unlocks the clinic and hangs a coat beside her satchel, already stuffed with non-woven fabric cohesive bandage rolls in pastel hues. The first patient, a restless terrier, eyes the table while she tears a length of non-woven fabric cohesive bandage with a soft ripping sound. She twists the non-woven fabric cohesive bandage into a gentle muzzle, allowing calm seconds for an ear exam. Later, a parrot with clipped wings receives a perch wrap of non-woven fabric cohesive bandage to prevent new feather damage. Between appointments, the doctor folds squares of non-woven fabric cohesive bandage into temporary splints for tiny reptile limbs. By evening, the trash bin holds only empty cores, testimony to another day guided by non-woven fabric cohesive bandage.
