The First Day

[psychosi_s]

...“Treat” me, huh? That’s what you want to do?

In the middle of nowhere, harsh weather, dangerous even...of course they’d have a radio.

You’re wasting your time.

I know the frequencies by heart. I won’t keep you waiting for long.

So we agree on something.

[psychosi_s]

Not so impossible, is it?

[falseintegrity]

Didn't say it was.

[psychosi_s]

Didn't want to leave any room for doubt.

[spotlessly]

Typically those confident in their sanity are not truly.

In due time.

[psychosi_s]

Sanity is relative, and the definition changes from day to day. For all you know, you could be the crazy one.

[frondeuristic]

That's what I said.

[psychosi_s]

Mm. A useless effort. What are they trying to prove?

[frondeuristic]

That we're crazy. Absurd, huh?

[psychosi_s]

Maybe, but there's a difference between being truly mentally unstable and having a diminished sense of reality. One might even say that, under the right circumstances, the latter is normal.

[deadlyhealing]

"Help" would be a more accurate word than simply "treat"; we want what is best for our patients.

[psychosi_s]

What's best isn't the same as what's right.

[deadlyhealing]

You don't think it is? We cannot in good conscience discharge our patients if we do not feel they are competent to judge that for themselves.

[psychosi_s]

So you'll keep me here for as long as you wish until my judgment matches yours?
