"Hello.

You've reached the direct line of Doctor Frederick Chilton. As I am not available at the moment, you might assume I'm quite busy with something pressing. State your name and business, and I will return your call."

Comments

[askedtobe]

I'm pretty sure that's a reality.

[slightlyoffchilt]

I won't disagree. Moreover, I'm pleased that you are indeed in touch with reality. Someone in your position must be grounded and aware.

You are uniquely capable, even among imPorts.

[askedtobe]

I'm sure you say that to all your patients.

[slightlyoffchilt]

Not all of them, no.

Does this mean I can have your official consent as my patient? I have the paperwork accessible.

[askedtobe]

Is paperwork an actual prerequisite?

[slightlyoffchilt]

Let's call it a civil formality.

[askedtobe]

Now you sound like a lawyer.

So fine, i'll fill out paperwork. But I should probably be asking how much i'm gonna have be paying for this or if it's out of the kindness of your heart. Not that you're not a good guy..

[slightlyoffchilt]

Are you Registered? Your health insurance should handle the costs easily, then. If not... We can work something out.

[askedtobe]

Yeah, I am. [ The enthusiasm in those words could crush large buildings!!! Except not. ] Probably better coverage here than I did back home. But sure, works for me.

[slightlyoffchilt]

And what is your schedule like? For sessions. Weekly, monthly?

[askedtobe]

Either one's fine. I'll leave the whole frequency thing up to you, my schedule's open enough that either way wouldn't be a problem. [ apart from, y'know, just how badly he wants to talk about anything. that, and SHAME. ] I'll send you a list of my days off the next two weeks. You can have first picking, whatever time works.

[ and insert a second text with a scattering of days over a 14 day period. paramedic schedules are fun!! ] Scout's honor I won't pick up any shifts over any times you choose.

[slightlyoffchilt]

I'll decide after the preliminary what frequency is necessary.

[Chilton would prefer weekly, but the trouble was selling that notion. He hoped to ease the idea in, just in case Peter discovered any very good reasons to take the alternative.]

Kind of you. I wonder how it is you sleep, given the erratic nature of your shift demands. Or do you need to sleep? Perhaps I ought to be asking HOW well you can sleep.

I'll save it for the session.

Tuesdays? To begin with. At 10 AM?

[askedtobe]

Sort of figured that was how it worked. [ Peter thought these things went weekly, anyway. Just, y'know, assumptions and all of that. Not that he wants to talk weekly or anything; he already knows what it's like to be told that he has completely, medically lost his mind.

But oh thank god, he managed to elude those questions for awhile. At least he's not a precog anymore, that'd make life things even better......... pff. ]

I'll be there.

[slightlyoffchilt]

Perfect, Peter. I anticipate a fruitful preliminary.

Until then.
