The Magic Bullet (2012)
“This woman had done nothing less than challenge his very credibility as a doctor. And on his own protocol!
Still, the best policy was to play it cool. He hoped against hope that word of what had happened would not get around the ACF. After a week, he’d almost begun to believe it was possible.
Then, late one afternoon, Allen Atlas sidled up beside him in the otherwise deserted junior associates’ lounge. “So, I hear you’ve been rejected by one of your protocol patients.”
Logan turned to face him.... The bastard was grinning broadly.
“Say, Logan, isn’t it supposed to work the other way around? I know in Dr. Stillman’s protocol, it’s the doctor who’s in charge.”
“Don’t worry about me. Or our protocol.” He paused; then, despite himself, the words came rushing out. “The results have been very encouraging so far.”
“You’re completely full of shit, Logan.”
But for all his ostentatious contempt, Atlas couldn’t entirely disguise his interest.
“Very encouraging,”MoreLess
