In Pursuit of Justice (2010)
“Catherine snapped into her cell phone’s wireless mic while she attempted to maneuver through early rush-hour traffic. “She should have been admitted last night. I don’t know—sometime after midnight. Are you spelling the last name correctly? That’s Frye—with an ‘e’ on the end.”
She listened for a few seconds, eyes searching the street for a parking place on the block with the address she had been given. Pulling to the curb, she said with uncharacteristic irritation, “Never mind. I don’t have tim...e to wait. I’ll call back later.”
She clicked off the cell phone, cut the ignition, and sat for a few seconds behind the wheel, waiting for the last shards of frustration to ebb. I should have stayed at the hospital last night. It was ridiculous to think I could do this briefing now, not knowing how she is.
If I were a patient, I’d say this is a very good example of self-delusion resulting from lousy conflict management and unresolved anger.
