Pearl
“Morrisey’s office, not so early as to be embarrassing, she tells herself. She sees that Dr. Morrisey is harried, distant. She is the professional again, and in her case that means, if not cold, then cool.“There’s nothing much to report. I think she’s gaining strength; she’s less agitated; she’s more alert, as we’ve cut down on the sedative; it’s a crucial moment, and I don’t want to put it at risk by having her see you before she’s ready.”“I can’t see her yet?” Maria says. She wants to say, Thi...s is what I’ve been waiting all day to hear? But she’s weaker than she was yesterday; she has lost some of her fight. The encounters with Joseph and Finbar have exhausted her.“Not just yet. Another twenty-four hours of medication, of nutrition, could make an enormous change. Let’s give it twenty-four hours. The prospects could be entirely different.”Maria wants understanding from the doctor, compassion: she needs to be listened to. Particularly after what happened with Joseph.MoreLess
