Excerpt
from “Indelible” (memoir in progress):
Jim became part of a study for a Phase III drug. He was tested
during each follow up visit with the neurologist. They let me stay with him
during the testing.
“What season is it,” the nurse asked.
“I have no idea,” Jim replied.
“Did you wear a coat today?” she asked as a cue.
“Yes.”
“What season do you think it is if you are wearing a coat?”
“I have no idea.”
“Do you know where you are?”
“A hospital.”
“Do you know what city this is?”
“Yes.” He couldn’t come up with a name, but was confident he knew
where he was.
“Do you know where the stamp goes on this envelope?” She handed
him an envelope.
“Right here,” he said pointing to the upper right hand corner. He
gave me a look, like he thought she might be just a bit stupid to not know
where the stamp went.
