"There is a lot of improvement in your condition. I might just discharge you tomorrow afternoon."
A wave of dread washed over me as I watched him scribble something on the papers he held.
" I have nowhere to go Mr. Thompson." I replied and the doctor smiled at me. "I spoke to Mr. Harrison about it. He said that he will make the arrangements needed. I assumed that you would have already known about it. I shook my head and leaned back on my pillow. He went back to whatever it was he was writing on the paper and I looked down at my bruised chest. On the left side of it, tattooed in bold black ink was the word 'Manipulator'. What on earth could that mean? Was it a trait of mine that I was so proud of to tattoo it on my chest? I honestly didn't think that I would have been proud to be a manipulator. Or would I have?
"Why can't I remember? Why is it so difficult to? I don't want to remain this way forever" I voiced .Mr. Thompson looked at me for a while before answering.
" You have been through a very traumatic event and sometimes the mind chooses to forget the event rather than to deal with it. You have also had minor head injuries. Those are the two reasons on why you may not be able to recall your past but as to whether you will remain this way forever, I cannot say. Almost every patient in a hospital expects their doctor to have answers to all their questions but there are conditions that we can assess but cannot relate. For instance, a condition such as yourself. I don't know how it feels like to not know anything about myself. I don't know how it feels like to not recognize anyone I would have ever met. My knowledge is only from what I have studied and what I have seen from my patients through years of medical practice. All I can ask of you is, to be patient. Live life the way you see fit. Our past always has a way of catching up. Let it find you. Try to recall but don't force yourself. There is always a reason to why things happen son, and you will find the reason behind this as well."
