Was your life not working when you let that slip out from under you?
Okay, when are you going to stop suggesting that I'm suicidal?
When you start acting like somebody that wants to be alive.
Give me my chart.
Why?
Because I'm not suicidal, and if it says that, then it's wrong.
What happened last year when you fell in the water?
I almost drowned. Do you think I did that for kicks?
You put your hand in a body cavity that contained unexploded ordinance.
I was trying to save a patient!
Why is it that every other person in that room had the sense to hit the deck? You know, people run away from this line between life and death. You seem to stand on it and wait for a strong wind to sway you one way or the other. You're careless with your life. You're not slitting your wrists, but you're careless. Probably because your mother told you you were a waste of space on this planet. The problem is you believed her. And if you don't watch out, one of these days you're going to die because of it.
Hand me my chart. Now! And don't ever talk about my mother again.
