Evaluation
'Are you asking me if I will let you communicate back and fourth with one of our most violent patients?' A middle aged and slender male asked me as I sat across the desk from him. 'Because I might say that you would be the first to show up here asking to visit this man.' He said.
Nodding my head back at the man, I replied. 'Honestly, the way my mind has been acting lately Dr. Sorrow, being able to talk with this guy is the only thing short of committing myself here that can help.' I said to the man, Dr. Damian Sorrow, the head doctor for Southwind Gardens.
Southwind just happened to be a mental hospital for those not fit for society, and within the confines they found themselves treated in hopes to released in the future with a rehabilitated mentality. Sometimes people never make it outside of the walls once they are put inside, but the man I was coming to see, a man who after weeks of searching I was able to find, had been in here numerous times, up until recently when they finally committed him for a lifetime. 'I admire your courage here Justin, I really do. I just hope you know that this little evaluation here is not just Southwind Gardens' policy, but for this patient in particular, I wanted to make sure the man coming to visit my favorite patient didn't have any bad intentions for the visit.' He explained to me.
Understanding fully of what was going on here; I wasn't about to lit to the man who stood between me and the meeting I was waiting for quite some time. 'This man and I have had a couple of run-ins in the past, but I'm not going to let that affect how this meeting goes. All I'm wanting out of this is to ask him a few questions and get the truth. If I am unable to at least get that, then you may have yourself a new patient to Southwind Gardens.' I said back.
'Well I feel like I can trust you here at this time, so I think we can go ahead and schedule a time to visit with my patient. But, as a final warning to you, we are very protective of Patient Six Sixty-Six. If you try any funny stuff, rest assured you will wish you hadn't. Not that I think you will, but just in case your mentality decides to snap on you and fight back for past experiences with my patient, we'll be watching, and will be ready to jump at the slightest hint of hostility. Then again, that will be for your own safety too.' He mentioned to me as I sat there calmly agreeing with what he was saying.
Standing up, I extended my hand to the doctor, who was happy to grab mine back. 'Thank you.' I said to him. 'Like I said, this has been a meeting in the making for some time now. I actually never thought he'd be back here after I saw him just a while back. But I guess what can you do? At least it's a safe environment for this meeting to take place.' I said to him as we continued to shake hands and he stood up from his seat.
Beginning to walk me out to the front desk to setup a visitation time, Dr. Sorrow spoke to me once more. 'Honestly, the plans we have here at Southwind Gardens for this patient’s recovery may be assisted with your help here.' He said as I nodded my head in agreement. 'After all, this man was once a wrestler as well, so having a wrestler speaking with him just might do him some good.' He finished explaining.
'Well, then I'm happy to help. It's not like he won't be helping me as well.' I said back to him.
The doctor got a big smile on his face. 'Well, we can only hope. Steven Lee has a long way to go for his recovery, so we might as well start somewhere.' He finished as we arrived at the reception desk to get everything situated.
