I have a story for you: [View all]

[PCIntern]

I normally don’t tell tales out of work but this one seems apropos given that theres a masquerade ball at 1600 PA Ave.

I have for many years treated a couple who is my age. When I met them 38 years ago they were truly the leftover hippies in a terrific way. They had great political sensibilities, were into music, lived a rather Bohemian life style -you get the picture. Believe it or not I was instrumental in steering him into a career in a certain field, and he became a fantastically successful businessman, yet retained all of his ethos as a thinking progressive.

Unfortunately, his wife began to deteriorate mentally at a rapid rate. He was and is the most attentive spouse I’ve ever seen: utterly devoted to his wife, her health and comfort despite her now extreme issues

The other day they came in for their routine visit and he confessed to me that there had been numerous occasions where she had attempted to hurt him dramatically and he was at a loss. I immediately procured numbers of professionals for him to call to immediately manage the situation. At first he was hesitant and then I said this to him: “Americans for too long have been accepting severe mental illness as part of the norm and are being figuratively and literally skewered as you will eventually be of her senile dementia is unchecked by you. You are living in a terribly dangerous situation which could easily prove fatal, possibly while you are asleep or resting in a chair. You may not realize that dementia causes these people to become incredibly violent: they hear the voices telling them to kill. It is tragic but it need not be even more tragic. You must act now.” He started to cry a little and nodded. I told him: you are in your career because I gave you the impetus to do what you do. I’m doing it again, ok? He gave me a hug I’m going to follow up with him this afternoon. I’m very concerned.

I am equally concerned for the monster in the WH. There is no telling what he is capable of and Americans should be frightened. If you are not, you are “whistling past the graveyard”. We are in desperate trouble and it cannot be minimized or shrugged off. It is a form of transcendental sociopathy which almost no one has encountered in a lifetime. It is very frightening. It is time to act in every legitimate manner possible in order to save the civilization.
