The Girl Who Wasn't There

Discussion that occurred in a ward round:


OT: Doctor I would like to discuss Simon with you.


Doctor: Yes! Out of all the patients in the ward I think he needs OT most urgently!


OT: (Sigh) Doctor I have been treating Simon for nearly a year now... I was the one who actually suggested he be admitted because I feared he was relapsing.


Doctor: (Thinks for a few seconds)... Are you Nadine?


OT: Yes I am...


Doctor: Oh my word! He has been asking for you for weeks! We always thought you were one of his delusions.


OT: No, I am very much a real person...


That's all.
