better place now. I apologize for taking so long to inform you and Mrs. Carter. I took some time off after the incident and this is my first day back.”
“Really. Well, I’m so sorry about that, Dr. Ju.”
“There’s no need to apologize for Lisa’s actions. I’m actually quite used to irate patients. My concern however lies with what she revealed during our session. Now, normally there is a patient confidentiality policy that we adhere to, but it appears as if Lisa didn’t sign the proper paperwork when she first arrived. In that case we are allowed to inform spouses about patient sessions.”
I continued to listen and hoped that Dr. Ju would hurry up and get to the point.
“Mr. Sanchez, I do realize that you and Lisa are no longer married, which technically doesn’t make you her spouse, but since you were the one who sought help for Lisa in the first place, I’m making an exception.”
“Great. So, what is this all about?”
“There was an incident that took place in a warehouse that she spoke of. Now, I was a bit confused, let me look at my notes here.” I could hear Dr. Ju shufflin’ some papers. “She spoke about Denie trying to kill her for what happened in the warehouse. Do you know anything about this?”
“Dr. Ju, my ex-wife is really sick and I don’t understand why she would say such a thing.”
“She also revealed in the session that you murdered your brother, Carlos because they had an affair and how much she missed him.”
My eyes increased. Wait a minute. What the fuck did that bitch just say , I thought. “Excuse me?”
“Your wife told me that you killed your brother, Carlos, Mr. Sanchez,” she repeated.
I was speechless. I couldn’t believe Lisa had been runnin’ her fuckin’ mouth. I didn’t care if she was doin’ it as part of her treatment or not. Talkin’ reckless was unacceptable at any time.
“Mr. Sanchez, are you there?” Dr. Ju asked.
“I’m here. Umm…yes, my brother was murdered last year.” I had to get my thoughts together and fast.
“Daddy…you ready to…” Juanita said, right before I quietly told her to be quiet.
“It really saddens me that my wife is this sick, and makes up these delusional stories,” I carried on.
“So, you’re saying that all the things she’s been disclosing are false?”
“Oh, most definitely.” I wanted to say, ‘bitch why would you believe one of your crazy-fuckin’ patients anyway?’
“Well, that’s makes me feel a lot better. I know the patients here can make false statements sometimes, and in this case I just wanted to be sure. Let me tell you this though Mr. Sanchez. Another reason why Lisa probably can’t come out of this deep depression is because she’s holding onto a great deal of remorse. She kept asking God to forgive her for killing the baby. She kept asking God, why he made you the father.”
There was complete silence. I couldn’t believe that Lisa had finally admitted to takin’ my innocent baby girl’s life.
“My daughter supposedly died of SIDS. Lisa, however, was the last person wit’ her before she died, so I had a feelin’ she was responsible.”
“Well, Lisa’s condition isn’t getting any better, it’s actually getting worse, especially her hallucinations. I’m thinking that we might need to do a hypnotic therapy treatment to see if we can get to the core of the problem. I might even ask you and her mother to be present, just in case there’s something that’s revealed from her childhood. The next time you come to the hospital I’ll need both you and Mrs. Carter to sign off on consent.”
“Oh, you can give her whatever treatment you want, I don’t care. I’ll sign whatever you need.”
Dr. Ju was quiet for a minute. I guess she was surprised by my statement.
“Umm, okay.”
“Thanks again for your call.”
“I’ll be in touch. Enjoy the remainder of your day.”
“You too.”
Holdin’ back my anger in front of Juanita had proven to be a difficult
