was hoping we could talk for a
little while, 10-15 minutes-

About what?

Well, since youre doing so

much better, I thought we could
talk about the progress youve
made over the past week.

Well , Im not presenting a case

study. (said nervously) what we
talk about is confidential. If
you happen to say something
that I think the staff should
know in order to help you, then
I will share that information.

(Smiling) yeah, well the staffs

not too sharp around here. I
think they have a combined IQ
of 80. My IQ is 150, whats
yours? It has got to be higher
than that nurse over there 5E,F,G

Actually, that nurse and the rest 6A 6B,C, D,

of the staff are quite competent.
Ive been very impressed with
them.

For a student nurse, youre not

around the room surprisingly) I

the air) I KNOW someone;

Who is looking for you?

People in Washington are

looking for me (said in a half-

more pressured) Id appreciate it
if you would keep your voice

What game?

The corporation/termination

behave like a good little boy, go
before the Judge and look like
the sanest person on earth, the
judge scolds the psychiatrist for
locking up such a goal-oriented
upstanding citizen and he
terminated our Dr. / patient 15E, 15F

It must be hard on you to be in 16A 16B, C, D

I can finally get some work
done. The government needs
me you know.

I think you need to keep taking 17A 17B, C, D

the medicine after you leave
here, so you dont have to keep
going back to the hospital.

The medicine has nothing to do

with it! If people werent so
jealous of me, they would leave
me alone instead of trying to
destroy me. (Agitated mildly 18E, F, G

point saying the Dr. wants to
see the patient in his office).

Maybe we can continue our talk
