The demand for clinic time has overwhelmed the four of us. 6 am. till 7 pm. Long hours, and at times we feel that we are not helping enough people. I schedule intake for 15 minutes, to identify acute needs, then refer out to the other doctors in our clinic or to in house doctors. I also red tag client files needing counseling, all aspects, that I will conduct therapy with. So far I have 90 clients, plus all the intakes I must take as head of clinical psychology.
When we have the possibility of sight seeing, we all claim to by Canadian, with accents to match. I gave Lance, Remy, and Sheri Canadian lessons. Americans are now well liked and several kidnappings have been reported on the local news. Every country I have been to seem to not care for Americans reporting they dislike P Bush, thus all Americans in general.
We have named our hotel suite Canada Central. We are greeted in a friendlier manor, so we continue to lie about our nationality.
We are picked up from the hotel lobby and herded into a suv, dark windows, and arrive at the hospital with dozens of patients already waiting.
Tonight when we return to the suite, we are having a "Canadian Party" "A". We all have to speak in kind. There will be Canadian beer and White Trash food. Should be rather fun.
A good release for the stress and hundred of files that go into the general files of the hospital.
Have to leave,
cheers,
Joe
