Day 40: Doctor's Office 6 (Dr. Wilson) [Fourth Shift]

[damned-doctors.livejournal.com]

Things could have gone better with Max, but they also could have gone much, much worse. Wilson was willing to take a somewhat awkward, tense session over a downright terrible one. As for his next two patients (the last two for this week), one was completely new to him while the other one would be a follow-up. He would have preferred the new patient have a shift to herself, but he had little say in how the scheduling worked in this place.

As for the returning patient, Wilson remembered Kyle well. The boy possibly had some sort of personality disorder, but unlike Allelujah-Hallelujah from earlier, he hadn't been aware of his other personality. Wilson had to wonder if the boy had made any effort to keep track of his moods and his memory to see if things didn't add up, but he supposed it wouldn't be long before he found out. The boy had been agreeable last time, so unless he was in a bad mood today (like Max), things should go smoothly. The new patient was a mystery, but Wilson did his best to keep an open mind.

Meche couldn't see the watch face, but she knew a nurse would be outside the office, waiting to take her back to her room. Probably better that she got out of there anyway, before she could do any more damage to her reputation as a sane, level-headed woman who was never going to have another episode of rage in her life.

"Not at all," she replied, getting to her feet. "It's nice just to have someone to vent to. You helped more than you think you did." He'd told her a little more about her "real life," for one thing, and some new things about how the Institute operated. And--well...it had felt good to talk to someone, even if she couldn't be completely on the level with him either.

As she reached the door, she turned back to give him another quick smile and a goodbye: "Thanks. Have a good weekend." I really hope you're one of the good guys, she added silently on her way out.
