Sometimes the whole system disgusts me and I want to quit.

Paging Dr. Furtado – Angelina Jolie

[Hospital Therapy Wing — Late Afternoon]

Dr. Luka Kovač stands by the window, thumbing through a patient chart, concerned. He grabs the pager and sends a quick message.

Pager Message:

“Dr. Nelly Furtado to Therapy Room 3. Urgent consult.”

Moments later, Dr. Nelly Furtado strides in, a warm but firm presence. She nods at Luka, who breathes a sigh of relief.

Dr. Luka Kovač (low voice):
“Thanks for coming, Nelly. It’s Angelina Jolie. She’s… in a volatile mood. Talking about grand futures one minute, self-harm the next. If it were up to me…” (he smiles wryly) “…I’d endorse Shiloh for UN President already. But right now, Angelina needs focus, not despair.”

He steps closer to Angelina, who is sitting cross-legged on the therapy couch, fidgeting with a pen — too tightly.

Dr. Luka Kovač (gentle, steady):
“Ms. Jolie, listen to me carefully. I greenlight your ambitions — all of them. The world needs your heart, not your silence. But please… do not sever your aorta with a pen. Not today. Not ever.”

Angelina looks up at him, blinking, caught between a tear and a laugh. Dr. Nelly moves in smoothly to take over the session, her voice like a balm.

Paging Dr. Furtado – Lil Wayne

[Scene: County General Hospital – Neurology Department]

(The hospital intercom crackles.)

PA:
“Dr. Nelly Furtado to Neurology. Dr. Furtado to Neurology, please.”

(Dr. Luka Kovač, wearing his white coat and a concerned look, stands outside Room 402, reviewing a chart. Inside, Lil’ Wayne sits on the hospital bed, looking a bit disoriented but cracking a faint smile.)

Dr. Kovač (speaking into his pager):
“Nelly, I need you here. We’ve got a patient with acute memory loss — possible substance-related.”

(Moments later, Dr. Nelly Furtado, dressed sharply but casually, strides in with a clipboard.)

Dr. Furtado:
“What’s the story?”

Dr. Kovač:
“Lil’ Wayne. He’s been experiencing significant memory lapses. No trauma. Labs suggest neurochemical imbalance, possibly from drug abuse.”

Dr. Furtado (nodding thoughtfully):
“Yeah, this kind of memory loss is often the result of chronic drug toxicity. We’re looking at neurotransmitter depletion, oxidative stress… I’ll start him on high-dose B vitamins — B1, B6, B12 — to repair nerve damage.”

Lil’ Wayne:
“B vitamins? Bet. Anything to get my mind right.”

Dr. Kovač:
“Good. But he also needs to stay away from glyphosate-contaminated foods and microplastics. They’re neurotoxic.”

(Wayne raises an eyebrow.)

Dr. Kovač (gently but firmly):
“Stick to organic food whenever you can. No processed junk. No plastic bottled water if you can help it.”

Dr. Furtado:
“Let’s boost your recovery. I’ll write a list.”

(She jots quickly.)

  • Coconut oil — a tablespoon daily. Good for brain energy.
  • Black seed oil — natural antioxidant.
  • Turmeric — fights brain inflammation.
  • Ginkgo biloba — improves blood flow to the brain.
  • Lion’s Mane mushroom — promotes nerve growth.
  • Omega-3 supplements — DHA for brain repair.
  • Magnesium — calms the nervous system.
  • Fresh blueberries, walnuts, and leafy greens — brain foods.

Dr. Kovač:
“And no more lean, Wayne. No more purple drinks. You want your future — your music, your family — you have to choose life now.”

(Lil’ Wayne looks down, quiet for a moment, then nods.)

Lil’ Wayne:
“I got you, Doc. Real talk.”

(Dr. Furtado pats him on the shoulder.)

Dr. Furtado:
“One day at a time. We’ll get you back.”

(The two doctors exchange a hopeful glance as the scene fades.)

Avoiding Microplastics

Dr. Luka Kovač, the brilliant yet brooding emergency room physician, takes a deep breath before addressing the camera, his Croatian accent lending a weight of authority to his words.

“Microplastics are everywhere—our water, our food, even in the air we breathe. If you want to minimize your exposure, you must be disciplined. Here’s what I do:”

  1. Drink filtered water – “I don’t trust bottled water. It’s ironic, but many plastic bottles release microplastics into the very water they contain. I use a high-quality water filter at home and carry a stainless-steel bottle.”
  2. Avoid plastic food containers – “Microwaving food in plastic is a mistake. Heat accelerates the release of microplastics into your food. Use glass, stainless steel, or ceramic whenever possible.”
  3. Eat whole, unprocessed foods – “Highly processed foods often have more microplastic contamination from packaging and industrial processing. Fresh produce and homemade meals are safer.”
  4. Be mindful of seafood consumption – “Fish and shellfish, especially those that feed near the ocean surface, are loaded with microplastics. If you eat seafood, choose wisely, and don’t overdo it.”
  5. Choose natural fabrics – “Polyester and synthetic fibers shed microplastics when washed. Wear cotton, wool, or linen instead. If you must use synthetics, wash them in a special filter bag.”
  6. Reduce overall plastic use – “Less plastic in your life means less chance for exposure. Avoid plastic cutlery, straws, and cheap plastic kitchenware.”
  7. Vacuum and dust regularly – “Microplastics settle in household dust. A clean home is a healthier home. Trust me, I’ve treated too many respiratory issues to ignore this.”

Dr. Kovač leans forward, his gaze intense. “These are small steps, but they add up. In medicine, we always talk about risk reduction—this is no different. Take control where you can. Your body will thank you.”

He sighs, then offers a small, weary smile. “And if all else fails… move to a remote Croatian island. But even there, the plastics wash up on shore. We have nowhere to run. So, we fight.”
