Although only on screen for one scene, her character of Dr Patel is important nevertheless. Dr Patel has been a graduated medical student for 4 years and after losing her brother to cancer she made the decision to specialize in chemotherapy. She treats Molly politely and reassuringly on screen and also writes the letter to Molly off screen.
Role: Dr Patel plays the doctor who Molly, the main protagonist, sees when she goes for her check up. Although Dr Patel acts reassuringly towards Molly, she is the one who has to be the 'bearer of bad news' and tell Molly that her cancer is terminal.
Purpose: To be one of the characters that expresses the theme of drama. On screen, Dr Patel acts friendly and polite towards Molly. However by writing the letter to Molly telling her her cancer is terminal, the theme of drama is then highly emphasised with the character of Dr Patel.
