the coopers familyA Screenplay by writer joethis is about two people who want to start up a medical practice, and attempt to bring the family in on itRon and Sally Cooper
both had a dream of helping people with really bad illnesses recover through
talk therapy and using the right medication. They were given the
funding for a new medical centre to be built in Carlton in Melbourne.
Their plan was to open the centre and start a family of medical
practioners. They did that
by inviting the lord mayor of Melbourne Miss Fran bellings to cut the
ribbon. It was a day
of celebrations it being the first time Carlton was to get a medical centre in
this form.
After the ribbon was cut they went inside for the official opening with
drinks and nibblies for afters.
Fran made a speech that blew everyones heart away and Ron laid down his
plans to build this practice from scratch including having babies and training
them to be doctors and nurses. They will invite
members of the families to help in the clinic as well. The future plan is to open the coopers
family hospital after everyone is experienced. That is a long way off
yet but they are quite confident that it will happen one day. They have the
site already in mind they just have to get the go ahead from the Victorian government. 2 weeks later Sally
fell pregnant and this was one of the best things that ever happened to
her. Ron was delighted
and invited all the family over for a big smackup dinner to celebrate their
good news. Ron showed
everyone the ultra-sound and said it was a little boy. Ron was determined to make sure
that nothing would go wrong before the birth. You might have called him a bit of a control freak. Sally
understood Rons eagerness and laid off achohol or heavy starched foods. Ron could
be overbearing but he just cares for the baby and not just about the doctor bit
but for his total well-being. Sally was getting
moodier and moodier about this whole thing which drove Ron completely nuts but
he understood her condition. The day finally
arrived and Ron was nervous like anything , which made him unable to help
deliver.
He decided to wait in the waiting room. There was a paranoid schitzophrenic there who was asking
when the money was being put into his bank account with a few swear words in
there. That didn’t
spoil the mood for Ron as he continued to wait patiently for his son to come
into this world. 2 hours had passed and
Ron was ever so tired and the patients were getting angrier and angrier. Ron
just taught himself to be patient because he will be putting up with all their
bull-s**t in a few years. It
made Ron think that his new clinic would take away the burden of this place. Eventually the baby
was born and the nurses woke Ron up and said “you have a baby boy and would you
like to see him”.
Ron was happy to see him after they got home they invited the whole
family to a naming ceremony in which they named him David Rick Cooper. Ron and Sally had a
tough couple of months with 2am feeds endless number of patients and family
commitments it drove them nuts. When David was 18 months he took his
first steps which made Ron and Sally feel they want to try for another baby. 3 months later Sally
fell pregnant to a little girl and things seemed to go backwards not forwards
but Ron was trying to have a positive attitude about it all even though it was
hard for Sally to go through all that again with their first running around the
house causing mischief. Sally was even more
determined to stick to the same diet as , when she was having David because
that was so successful. Ron
invited the family for a celebration of the pregnancy with Sally’s second. Months and months went
by with Sally being very moody all day and all night driving Ron to have a
Lager down the pub. It was all worth it
when Sally was rushed to hospital having contractions and 5 hours later was the
birth of their second who was later named Susan Marlene Cooper. Ron and Sally were
proud to be parents after checkup after checkup being a clean bill of
health.
David was the king of the house trying to learn how to use the
stetherscope on every one of his friends at his public school. Sue was just playing
the happy mother who relied on his brother being the doctor. Ron and Sally
treated them as normal as normal can be. They took them to the
sporting events as well letting them see Santa at Christmas time. It was fun to have such a lovely
family. The years went along
so very quickly and David and Sue were growing up fast but they still wanted to
stay in the family business so there definitely didn’t have a problem there. A teenager with
anorexia nervosa went to see Ron worrying that her life is over but Ron tried
to get to the bottom of it by trying
to talk to the girl about any problems in her life whether it’s family,school
or social or it could be the internet as well. She told him it was a man who is part of the ballet
group at the local community centre who is putting a lot of health pressure on
her and she told Ron that there isn’t much she could do. Ron tried to comfort
her by saying if you don’t want him to bug her don’t let him. She just said OK and said goodbye till
next time but she can’t promise that it will stop like waving a magic wand. David started medical
school when he was 16 and seemed
very keen to learn everything
about curing people from sickness. He did medical School
every Wednesday night and every 4 weeks on Saturday morning. David thought
it was fun to learn about different illnesses that there are in the world as
well as learning the cultures and their different beliefs about whether they
will except it or not.
David is also learning psychology and the different types of mental
illness so he could help everyone. It will take him a
while to master everything but David is looking at it as being a challenge but
he will pass with flying colours he said. Sue was bit slower in
school as David was so she started
when she was 17 3 years after David. Sue was going for her nursing certificate as well as
wanting to be a mid-wife.
Sue also wanted to have a brushup course on medical matters so she could
lend a hand in a emergency. David had met quite a
few girlfriends at medical school so it would lighten the load of his
work. He went to nightclubs
getting drunk and partying all around the place. David drank nothing but a nice cold beer but he does
know the rules of the family business if you get drunk you don’t work but he
still did get drunk anyway but he did follow the rules. 8 months later He
passed with flying colours getting an B in basics and a B+ in psychology which
are both passing grades so David was glad to join the family business. Meanwhile Sue was having a
harder time with her first year and it was making her very depressed but she
stuck out there learning how to be gentle with the baby through the birth. She was using a doll through
practice which was programmed to cry when it is being mistreated so it was
frustrating Sue but she had to stick it out. The end of Sues first
year proved more difficult than ever meanwhile Davids graduation was a success as he stepped up to receive his
diploma. It was a mighty
Christmas present for him.
Sue practiced delivering the baby till she was blue in the face but it
was making her even more depressed every day. On Christmas Eve Ron
and Sally took David and Sue and the rest of the family to carols by
candlelight at the Sidney meyer music bowl to celebrate David passing medical
school and giving Sue a break from all the stress and have some fun. As the new year
started Sue was still stressed but she was determined she was going to get
through this.
January was her party month every night she would party with all her
friends and then when February came she would be ready to go back to medical
school. Meanwhile David was
being shown how the clinic works by sitting in on all his patients. He found it a real learning
experience for him knowing that his dad had big plans for him. When it was time to
start the new year at Medical school Sue was sure this is going to positive
year for her. She will accomplish everything
she put her mind to. As the year was drawing to a close
Ron and Sally were very proud that Sue was making a real effort in her studies
and they all were anxiously waiting her results from the test to see if she
would pass. Ron and Sally took
David and Sue out to Vietnamese restaurant to honour both of them for the
efforts for the last couple of years. Three days later a letter arrived in the mail and Sue
was to nervous to open it thinking it was a failing grade but Ron said “If you
don’t open it you will never know the result” He also said that he will support him no matter what the
result is. Sue finally drove up
the courage to open it and to her surprise it was an A- which was a passing
grade. Sue was
excited when it came to graduation day when she was receiving her deploma. It made her feel
really good about herself . Sue asked to get a few
tickets for graduation so both family and friends could see her graduate. It was an honour that
the school think that Sue is ready to face the ups and downs of being a midwife
and nurse. In November of the
same year Ron and Sally got funding to start construction for the new Coopers
family hospital in which Ron dug the first trench in the site. They also had a speech
from the premier of Victoria and lord mayor of Melbourne. When all the formaities
were over they had a barbecue to celebrate the start of construction for this
new project. At the end of the day
David went to the pub to have a few
quite ones and got into a few in depth conversations about how long that he
will remain in the family business before he moves out on his own as well as
hearing people telling him their stories of their lives which he found were
very boring.
The bartender
introduced himself and told him to sit down and smell the coffee rather than
move on to quickly because you are lucky you have a father who cares for you
enough too stop you from living in poverty. Tim Meadows came to
visit Ron at the clinic to check the results of his blood test which shown he
had the late stages of prostate cancer and he only had 3 months to live. This made Tim very sad as he had
2 kids who are under 10 and he would like to see them grow up. Ron offered if his
wife wanted he could offer her councelling to help her get through the
difficult time. Tim asked if the kids
and his wife need to be tested as well.
Ron said “If they feel they want to be tested I will do it at no
additional charge as this is a grieving time to you. David’s first patient
was a 64 year old grandmother of 12 Nolene Jacobs who comes in about a once a
month for her monthly check-up and get new scripts for her medication if she
needed any. Ron
told David that she will probably be alright but for her sake it is good to be
on the safe side.
David did the tests and he was thinking she has definitely hasn’t got a
talking problem.
She was just happy to be alive in this world and it was hard not to show
this happy emotion. David gave her an eye
test which she read correctly every line except the super small line and she
needed a new pair of glasses which her pention meant it would set her back
$20.00. As usual the rules
that Ron and Sally made that Nolene will be bulkbilled because it was hard to
make to many payments.. Sue was having a hard
time in the waiting when a wealthy businessman name John Little came into the
surgery dressed up as Hitler.
He believed he was a reincarnation of Hitler and once a month would
grace his presence by dressing up as Hitler and yelling at the nurses in all
the clinics in Melbourne. He
had bipolar and he could become violent if he didn’t get what he wants when he
wants. In the waiting room
there was a 88 year old great grandmother who was filling a script and a 15
year old girl who was having her period.
Both were scared of this Hitler character but they didn’t want to say
anything out of place because there are consiquences of their actions. John was really
stressing Sue out but she had to remain calm because it wasn’t good to get
angry with him. He was yelling out the
jews are invading my land every 21 seconds and Sue was having trouble trying to
calm him down.
Eventually Sue called Ron in to try and calm him down. Ron grabbed him around the waist
and said calm down matie it has not happened yet. He kept on yelling “the jews are invading
my land, the jews are invading my land, the jews are invading my land. Ron didn’t know what to do here
so he called Sue in to give him a valium to calm him down. It worked but they
were wondering for how long.
Ron said it calmed him down for now we’ll cross that bridge when we get
there said Ron. After that Sally took over
from Sue so she could have a
coffee break as that was a stressing moment for them. Meanwhile David came
in the door and went to the cupboard to grab the red cross syringe bag to give
the people at the mental health drop in centre there booster shots,flu
shots,blood tests and even the annual needles that stop them from getting
diseases. When he got there he
saw everyone was sort of spaced
out in every corner of the centre some with cigarettes in their hands and some
who are on medication so fierce they
have no energy to do anything. Everyone was happy to see David even if they
didn’t really show it because of meds. David went into one of
the rooms to set up the needle bay for the next 3 hours as there are a lot of
people coming here over the course of the day and 3 hours is more than enough
time for people to receive their needles. David found this really
rewarding because mentally ill people are to spaced out to be in a busy doctors
surgery. There are a few people
who get cranky with him but David just said it goes with the job and you can’t
change that. Eventually when the 3
hours were up and everyone was happy David packed everything up and headed back
to the coopers clinic and on the way John who thinks he is Hitler saluting the
cars driving past him and drunken driver through a beer bottle out of his
window and nearly hit him and David saw the guys number plate and rang the
police.
John was yelling “Why were you hitting me for, you f’’n jew I was your
enemy. 3 days on and Brendan
Jones who is wheelchair bound from severe celebral palsy came in for his 6
month check up just to see how he is going. Brendan was telling her everything
and I mean everything that has been going on in his life in the last 6 months
including about being robbed at knife point because they thought he was
somebody else and Brendan was really p’’d off about that. Sally offered him a
shoulder to cry on but there was not much she could do except just listen to
him. Another thing he was
saying that he might be developing a mental illness because he was hearing
voices from the teasers in his past and he looked around and there was noone
there. They were
driving him crazy.
Sally gave him a brain scan to see if it could be mental illness in
there but she said just try to be positive about the whole thing I know it is
hard but just try. Then he
told Sally that he is starting to move his legs a lot easier than he did last
time and he was asking Sally whether
it was good thing or a bad thing.
Sally told him it was good but you must just relax and not think you
will be cured in 3 months or something like that. The following Saturday
David went down to Optus Oval to be the game doctor for the under 14 Australian
rules football match and it was exciting with a lot of biff and every father
was blaming the umpire for every wrong decision. David loves footy and he wants to help the
players reach their full potential.
In the 13th minute of the last quarter of match 4 of 8 one of
the players was hit pretty fiercely and the match was called to a holt and
David came onto the field to see if he will be alright. David was checking his
physical and mental condition like asking him questions like “What is your name
,where do you live ,and what are you here for and so on and so forth. The coach was
helping David with the proceedings.
Eventually the kid woke up and was given a full bill of health by David
but suggested to the coach to leave him off for the remainder of the match and
when the game is over ask him to see me so I could check him out. The coach did that and
the boy whose name was Freddie Piper was upset and saying things he didn’t
really mean to friends and family .
Meanwhile David was called onto the field left right centre and had to
call the ambulance when the star player had to be carried off and go to
hospital. When that happened
an umpire has been punched by an irate father and the police were called in and
David was looking after the umpire and the ambos drove him to the hospital. At the end of the day
David was bushed and wanted to go to the pub to have a nice cold beer just one
so Ron doesn’t get upset with him or anything. When he got to the pub he just sat in
there and watched the first quarter of Adelaide v Brisbane on Television before
he went to the clinic where he lived to totally relaxed. 3 days later The
Coopers were called out to a house in Preston to offer assistance to 3 drunken
teenagers celebrating the end of school.
The party was cut short when the roof of their home decided to cave in
knocking each of them right out. There was Pamela in
the grey dress and Samantha in the green and white and the other one in the green and gold Australian
sporting top was Billy Randall. When the coopers
arrived at the house the paramedics were there to tell them the whole deal with
it all. Pamela
was unconscious while Samantha was talking jibberish while Billy could talk but
had his legs caught under the wood that came from the ceiling and he was
worried because he couldn’t move anything. The paramedics were
trying to figure out how to get him out of their in one piece which at that
time they thought they could do exactly that and Billy no matter how much pain
he was in was trying to get out in one piece. David went over to check on Samantha who
was saying things like “my brain was used in an experiment 3 years before I was
born” but the coopers knew that she has injuries and they weren’t ruling out
brain damage. Sue went over to help
Pamela try to regain conciousness and told her mum and dad to talk to her as if
she would get through this. Of course they found it hard but they had
to remain positive to help her know there are people who love her around. The paramedics were trying so
hard to move Billy out of the wrecking roof but it was making Billy too sore
and there was no way they could get him out of there without amputating his 2
legs but Billy who was really scared kept on pulling knowing he is a fighter as
well as a tough old boot. The paramedics told
David that amputation is the only way to save Billy’s life and he needs to
know that he will die if we try to
save his legs. Billy who was drunk
started swearing at David refusing to give on his legs. It was hard for David to bare hearing the rubbish coming
out of his mouth but he understood his pain as it is hard to think of a life
without walking because he wouldn’t be able to go to the pub independently
anymore and that is his life David told the paramedics. Sally was offering
councelling for Pamelas parents warning them that she will never be the same
again both physical or mental. Samantha started saying stupid
things like my mum forget to get f’’’n house insured and that meant I’m
homeless. Ron
used his mobile to call Sam’s parents who on holidays in the Gold Coast but
when they heard about Sam they got on the first plane back home. Pamela eventually woke
up from the coma but the paramedics worried that they have to amputate her legs
too when she said she couldn’t feel them. David eventually
talked Billy round to the amputation
saying that you could still lead an exciting life you just have to limit
it that’s all. Now David has to
talk Pamela round about life with no legs and it was hard when she said that 4
years ago she had to deal with no legs and they eventually came through for
her. Even
if she was limping around like a mad woman it will be better than being in a
wheelchair permantly.
David had to let nature take its course and not hassle her. The paramedics were
starting to amputate Billy’s legs while having him under sedation. Samantha was
the first one to go in the ambulance with severe brain damage and a head brace
on her head and after that Pamela went in and she began to feel her legs in the
ambulance but had to have open heart surgery . As well she had to
have neck brace. After taking 3 hours and 30 minutes to
do it Billy has had both his legs amputated and then after that he was driven
to the hospital in the ambulance. Billy had to have surgery for the joints in the
arms and elbows as well as having a neck brace on his neck. After a really hectic
day David decided to go the pub to unwind and got into conversation with the
singer of the music group that was playing there that night David bought him
and Johnny Sibber a beer and talking about such a hard day he put in at work
and Johnny was telling him that he works as a cleaner at the Victoria hotel in
the heart of Melbourne and it gets very demanding. As their conversation got deeper they added a
few drinking songs like 99 bottles of beer on the wall and who’s your father
referee when the referee who was doing the football match on the television
would stuff up. Eventually Johnny went
back to the group to do a few more songs to keep the party rolling and David
who had about 5 beers was dancing like a mad man but after the day he had who
would blame him. First song
he danced to was standing on the outside looking in by cold chisel then it was
dancing queen by abba and after that David really partied to Twisted Sisters
We’re not going to take it where he was adding the extra’s like your so
worthless and weak and drop and give me twenty. Then they played the
angels hit Am I ever gonna see your face again and David was singing the little
extra bit that most people sing in that song. About thirty minutes into the party
David’s sister and work colleague Sue came in to let her down but she only had
the soft stuff just in case David needed a lift home. After that bunch of
songs David was telling Johnny about how unlucky his patients were today and
Johnny was telling him that he was willing to hold a benefit concert with his
band in the park to raise money for the victoms of the house roof cave in and
David asked Sue to take his number down as he was a bit drunk. The barman was
hesitant to give him another beer because he is too intoxicated and needed to
go home to rest so he asked Sue to take him home . The next day David got
up at 7 am with the biggest hangover anyone could ever have and needed to
transfer at least the morning patients so he could detox all the alcohol out of
his system.
Sue’s first patient was a 16 year old ADHD patient who was coming in for his 3 month checkup to
see if anything is wrong or right with his
body.
First Sue the tongue depresser and check the inside of his mouth and
then she checked the blood pressure to find it was quite normal then she gave
him a diabetes test because he drinks an endless amount of soft drinks and
after that Sue wanted him to book an eye test at the optometrist so she did
that with no problems. Then
Mike who the patients name requested to have a flu shot so he wouln’t get a
cold or flu. Sue was happy to do that and then she
asked Mike if he would like her to do more and he said could you please
increase the dose of my med because I am having weird visions. Sue requested a trip to her
father Ron who is a qualified psychiatrist where he will have to make an
appointment. Meanwhile Ron was busy
with an 11 year old boy who is having panic attacks relating to the time
between the ages of 6 and 9 years old where he was being terrorised by students
at his school. It took quite a long time to open up about it
but he finally did at the age of 10 but now he is having terrible panic attacks
about being killed by these kids any time he left the house whether he was
going to school or meeting up with friends and it was really upsetted him and
he was scared. Ron tried to offer a
helping hand through the attacks and wanted to know if there was anything the
boys said when they got expelled that may have triggered the panic attacks
off. The boy
whose name was Craig Brent said they said when I see you again I will slice you
open and rip out your heart and from that day he had the attacks. Ron tried to figure
out whether they have crossed paths since then and Craig said no but he kept
worrying about what might happen in the future. Ron tried to be as
gentle as he could be by showing him that he cares for him and he wants the
attacks to stop.
Craig said that he might think about ending his life if either they
don’t stop or they come back into his life with revenge on mind. Ron gave him the number
for kids helpline as well he told him about a youth group that focuses on kids
as young as Craig to slowly get back on to their feet after trauma. Teaching them how to do
exciting things and maybe teach him how to defend himself like doing karate or
something like that. Craig
said thank you and went home. Meanwhile Johnny
Sibber and his band went to the park near the Yarra River to hold a gold coin
donation benefit concert for Billy, Pamela and Samantha who were the victims of
the suburban house cave in at the start of the month. They just turned up and there was about 5000 people supporting
them to get back on their feet. David was there to be the days doctor just
in case people need medical attention. It was pretty quite
for David there was nothing more that a few cuts and braises nothing more. The music
was great they played the hits as well as some of Johnny’s written song which
every song was danced to pretty well. David had memories of the
other night when they started to play the song from Twisted sister but he
couldn’t be as crazy today because he responsibilities to people who need medical treatment. There were a lot of moments
where David had no patients and he was able to tap his foot to the music which
he enjoyed very much. The 3 victims were
happy to have a seat right near the stage and enjoyed themselves on how they
see fit. The sun made a lot
of appearances for today which noone needed their umbrellas or any other wet
weather gear. Johnny
got out his violin and played some top 40 on it and it sounded very good as he
had the original. People say
that he has a gift to make top 40 into classics but it might be the family
atmosphere of the concert that did it. The concert went on
for 2 hours and 30 minutes and there was no sign of rain except for when
everyone got home and it came down in very big bucketfuls. The next day Sue had
Mike’s test results ready and it showed him that he has to watch his cholestrol
intake and he also type 2 diabetes which can be controlled if he slowly cuts
down on his soft drinks and lollies. Mike was saying that will be hard for him to do
because everyone around him gives him sugar things. Sue told him that if he doesn’t take a stand against eating
sugary foods he will die and it won’t a quick death it can be slow with agony
and she really cared for him that to wish that pain on him. A year on and the
clinic became an instant success with people from all walks of life coming
through trying to get the coopers to help them with their medical
problems. Sue’s
first patient was 10 year old Aden Simmons whose mum drove him there because he
was complaining about really bad stomach pains. Sue was feeling all parts to find out where the pain
is. Aden started to
cry when she reached the abdominal section and that made Sue request an x- ray
to see what was causing the pain.
Sue called his mother in to talk about arranging an x-ray which she
promised to get done today. The mum was so sure it
could be gaulstones and definitely wanted to proved wrong and she
hyperventualated.
Sue tried to calm Mrs Simmons down and then she said “just wait till the
x-ray it might be nothing too worry about. So Sue went to the main office desk to arrange an
interview for Aden., David’s first patient
was 8 year old Todd Mcdenny who was complaining about a cramp in the leg below
the knee. Joan Mcdenny
his mother didn’t know if he was faking or not because Todd sometimes wants a
few weeks off school so she brought him in just to make sure. David checked him out and
when the kid told him that it was in his upper calf David ordered an x-ray just
to be on the safe side. Todd’s mother Joan said we have
health insurance so do what you need to do so Todd can go back to school as
soon as possible. When the x-ray was
done David saw there was a tear and it needed to be operated on as soon as
possible. There was another
thing because they had health insurance they could jump the cue and get it done
this afternoon and Todd get to miss school for a week or when the pain heals.
If there is still pain there David wants them to arrange to see him to find out
why that is but we should cross that bridge when we get to it. David told Joan that you should
get back 50% off the price with the health insurance you are on. After the operation I
will inform of any complications if there is any so just sit down and be
patient and relax your son is very capable hands. Ron was making a housecall
to a mentally ill girl who believes there are ghosts chasing after her all over
the house. She is constantly
running from them and it drives her completely. You see she inherited the house when her parents died in a
house fire in Mt Gambier and she believes that her memory of her mum chasing
her with the wooden spoon is the ghost of the house. Ron tried to calm her down but she kept on yelling at him
saying “you have no idea what it is like to be in my situation. You see her parents were real
consertative people who believe children should be seen and not heard. So Ron asked her to
come into her house and tell her all about it. He said just tell them why you think the ghost is your
parents and not an old tenant or a dilusion you have. Then she got defensive thinking he doesn’t really care
about her and just thinks about the money that goes into his pocket. Ron tried to tell her that he is
their to help her through this and the money is just a bonus but he’ll never
forget about her needs if she anything to worry about. She started off
telling him her name which was Harriett Star and she is 24 years old and moved
away form her parents home to a mental health group house when she was 15. Ron was concerned why she needed to
move so young. So she told him
that when she was naughty even for the small things she did wrong her mother
and father would take it in turns to put a sheet over their bodies to pretend
they were evil ghosts and grabbed a wooden spoon and chased them saying “I am
going to kill you are going to beat you to death and I will cut you with a
knife and rip your body to pieces and there will be no more you.” She coped with that
for 14 years until one day she was sick of it and rang up kids helpline who
really listened to my problems. She said if I had to do an advert about
them I would they were so helpful. They really
listened to me every night it happened and one day the lady suggested I should
apply to live in a mental health group house till I get to the age to start my
new life.
That worked she said’ until I got a phone call from the hospital saying
my parents were both killed in a house fire in Mt Gambier and she refused to go
to the funeral.
Then 3 weeks later she was being terrified by a ghost saying the same
things my parents said when I was naughty. I had to call the
crisis team in Adelaide and they came to get me and I was taken to the
psychiatric ward for assessment and when I told them my story they gave my name
to a priest to try to tell me to have a little faith in Jesus and everything
Will be alright.
I was in there for 3 weeks and when I got out they were happening again
and began to question my faith because it should go away quickly particurily if
no one alive can see heaven in their eyes and not in minds. I wish this ghost
would get out of my mind I am only young and I have my life ahead of me. I don’t want to be a braindead
slob. Ron gave her a number
for a psychiatrist in Melbourne who specialises in Childhood trauma. Ron also said that it is
hard to find out what is wrong with you with the problems you have or if there
aren’t any and medication could be dangerous if I prescribed any at the
moment. Harriett
said thank you but she was concerned she would like this forever though. Ron said “if it doesn’t in 5 weeks of
seeing this psychiatrist come and see me for another assessment. She was grateful and
thanked Ron for his trouble to listen to me. Sally was lookimg
after a Kenyan runner who was punched in the eye on the way to the AIS Canberra
for an athletics competition.
He was feeling groggy so they made an appointment for him to see Sally
at the coopers clinic. Abesa
omundi was his name and when he got to the clinic he had to fill out a form
with all his details on it.
Then he had to wait 10 minutes and then Sally called him in. First he had to cover
his left eye, then the right eye and after that they checked his eye
pressure. Then Sally checked
if the punch caused any major damage to the eye.and she noticed that the eye
had been pushed back about 5 cm and needed eye surgery almost immediately or
he’ll go blind or something much worse. Which means he had to miss the athletics meet which
made him really furious. Then abesa
started to yell really horrible words because this athletic meet cost him $450 and
$655 for the accommodation.
Sally didn’t know quite what to do because she knew it wasn’t her fault
and Abesa said it wasn’t but Sally didn’t want want to go out and pick any
fights with people who are responsible because these things happen and she was
sure that he would get his money
back because can’t be that heartless she thought. So Abesa calmed down but that didn’t mean he was going to
let things go when he was better. If the man who punched really knew what to do he
should never try to cross his path at any stage of Abesa’s recovery. Meanwhile David looked
after Jack Delahunty who walks with a limp and has a crazy laugh. You see he has Autism which made him
obsessed with what people say in the nightclubs. So that means whether he was at work,home,or at a
friends house he will talk as if he was at a party and some people get annoyed
by that. Today he said to
David “I was cruising around looking for chicks and I found one that I really
liked and she swore at me that rude hey Dave” but what he was really there for was a fortnightly checkup
and a injection to control his angry temper that could happen if he went off
his meds if you knew him. David gave him a test
both mental and physical and both alright and then he was ready to give the
injection and he yelled out R.A.P.E. but everyone who knew him just let it
slide. Sometimes kids laugh at him
because they don’t know what he is really like. Sally let Sue sit in
on her delivering a single mother of 2 3rd baby and Sue was very
excited about it. There was
a lot of screaming and shouting and Sue found it hard not to take it
personally. Eventually the
baby came out and it was her 3rd boy and Sue was happy that she was
involved in that. It made
her glad she wants to be a midwife and help bring new people into the
world. The mother was
stunned and called him Jack and couldn’t wait to bring him home to Josh and
Patrick. Sally asked
Sue do you want to nurse your first delivery. Sue was delighted and thought it was the best experience of
her whole life so far. An American mother
whose family are the only ones in the suburb to do trick or treat on October 31st which is Halloween brings in her son
who claims he needs help because every Halloween a fire creature come out of a
jack-o-lantern and chases him all over Melbourne. What is really going on is that he hops on a tram to
St Kilda and following young girls around with attempts to hurt them. David brought Him in
to help him get through this.
David asked him is name which was Bradley Kingsley and then asked him
what he thinks about Halloween.
Brad said it was cool you get heaps of candy with people in the spirit
and normally people don’t want to get tricked so they give us any candy in
their candy jars. Then David
asked “this fire creature do you know what it stands for” Bradley said that he
doesn’t know it could be the ghost of his great grandfather who my grandmother
said was a Halloween scrooge.
He said “If my grandmothers family breathed a word of Halloween that he
will terrorise the scared one of the family and that is me said Bradley. Then David asked “what does
he say to you when he is chasing you. He says I want to destroy your young life Halloween is
a scam don’t run away or I will get you said Bradley. Then David asked
Bradley why you why not Joshua and Bradley replied “because I am more of a shy
boy than he is” David became more
intreaged to understand what this fire creature really wants from him and
started to ask questions like “do you recognise the voice like is it a friends
voice or something like that,
Bradley replied no it is a voice I have never heard like some old man or
something like that. Then David
asked “Is he on a commercial that you see on television or a voice from the
radio that got stuck in your head “
Bradley replied maybe if you listen to every voice on the radio it is
probably there somewhere but I can’t put my finger on it like daddy would say. David asked “it’s not
your daddy is it” Bradley
replied no I don’t who is it but I know he is evil mummy told me so. David said “ if I ask these questions I
can figure out what is wrong with you and I could help you. David asked could it be a kid you
hate at school because kids can be very cruel you know. Bradley said “no it is not
anyone from school there are some people who want to bully me but I don’t think
that they are the fire creature. David told him “They are not the creature
and you must know that there is something wrong with your brain which is
forcing the creature to come out every Halloween but we need to control this
voice. We are
using talk therapy which I really believe in to find out if we could find a way
to control it. David
added I don’t want to prescribe drugs unless I know what is really going on
with you. The wrong drugs
gives you horrible sideeffects and I want to figure your mind out so we could
rally together and kill this fire creature in your mind every Halloween. Bradley said that the
creature could be a voice from some spirit that doesn’t know me and wants me to
stop celebrating this day.
David said I see your legs a tensing up. So we will finish up and we will meet in 4 days and I might
have a solution to your problem.
I will look into what you told me and I will try to figure out your
diagnosis. David said
goodbye to the family and began to try to figure out what is wrong with
Bradley. Sue was busy with a 44
year old woman receiving her hep b booster because she works in a business that
has a lot of syringes in easy to be pricked spots. Her name was Pam Gordon who worked in a mental
home housing complex called Pathway Gardens. She served lunch and dinner every weekday and made
them cakes as the
occasional special treat because Pam thought these people need to have a
positive look towards the future.
Pam told Sue sometimes she wonders if it all worth it and then when she
receives thank you from the people who are grateful it makes it all worth
while. Today she brought the
coopers a rhubarb pie because she thought the coopers were similar to her
in every way and that made her
feel really good.
Sue and Pam talked for about 20 minutes about the the different ways to
help people in the way you do best.
Pam asked Sue to visit
her at her work and see the way they help out there and it could introduce her
to some new patients because Pam said some of these people could use doctors
that really care for them and not the pay cheque that comes from it. Sue told her
that it might be nice to chase up some more work so she said she ask her father
and boss Ron if she could visit and see if people would be grateful to see us
there. Sue told Pam that she
should help people in the way you want and not sit in your house just helping
yourself. Pam agreed and said I hope to see you there and enjoy the pie Sue
just sighed a bit of relief that she is doing well and not too sick. A gang of evil
hooligans decided to take out their frustrations on a poor member of the public
by originally asking for money…When he refused the hooligans bashed him to a pulp. The victim was screaming so loud but
it wasn’t seeming to work as they had laid their 8th punch directly
to the head. About 20
minutes into the fight David was walking by on the way home from doing the
shopping and the heard the man screaming. Then he looked around and through the trees he saw
some thugs bashing this man up. David screamed “What
are you up to” and ran to offer his assistance and the hooligans said “this is
not over by a longshot” and ran away before David came over. David went to the assistance of
the man who seemed to have cuts all over his body. David asked him what happened and why were
they targeting him. The victim said that
he was the man that punched Abesa in the mouth and he hired hitmen to bash me
up. Then he
thought “I think I deserved this” David refused to believed that anyone could
deserved this much pain and called for the ambulance to take him to hospital to
be checked as well giving him his business card just in case he needed medical
assistance in the future or if he wanted to talk about anything. David got back
to the hospital saying “the man who hit Abesa is in hospital but he didn’t
deserve this and we must not let the personal traumas affect our judgement.” Meanwhile Ron was out
doing erins for people, like pay
bills , and buy supplies for the clinic when he ran into a little boy Tommy
Dence who was very frightened of a bully who is hassling him at school. Ron asked him are they still
after you and Tommy said if I go back to school they will bash me up and I
don’t care if it is compulsory I value my life too much. What If I talk to the teachers
Ron said. Tommy says that it
won’t do him any good it’s not scripted they will call me a teachers pet or
something like that. Ron then asked if he
could call his parents and Tommy didn’t want that either because they will only
worry and Tommy thinks too grown up for that. Ron said I have to call someone because it is not appropiate
for him to care like that not in this day and age. Tommy then let him call his older sister who is
18 she will help me Tommy said.
What is your sisters name asked Ron. Tanya said Tommy When Ron called Tanya
she was wondering why Ron had his little brothers phone until Ron told her the
whole story. Ron told her
that Tommy was too scared to go to school because the bully was threatening him
and you are the only one he’ll trust. Ron insisted he was trying to do the right thing in
this situation. Tanya
left work to pick up his little brother from the spot Ron said he was and when
she got there she saw her brother with a man a she presumed that was Ron. She screamed out of the car “Hey
are you Ron” Ron replied and put Tommy in the front seat of the car and said
goodbye. Sue went over to
Pathway Gardens where her patient Pam Gordon works as a volunteer chef and when she got there a 66 year old
man was sitting on the steps greeting her as she walked. The 66 year old man was Leonard Gitt
who as a kid was diagnosed with slight cerebral palsy but noone believed he had
it. When he was in his 20s he
developed schitzophrenia which got him locked up in Kenmore which wasn’t the
place for him but he was there for 25 years and at the age of 50 the mental
health found him a place in Pathway Gardens and he has been there ever since. Sue walked into the
building and spoke to lady in the office asking where could she find Pam Gordon
and she also gave them the Coopers business card to be Pathway Gardens
doctor. Sue told them we are a non
profit clinic and we could come out for any medical emergency to lend a hand or
just speak to the more vonerable people. The office lady got the manager and Sue explained what
she just said and he thanked her and said we will think it over and get back to
you. Bearing in mind he has
to make sure that the tenants agree with that. Sue then asked where Pam Gordon so she could say
hello. They both
exchanged thank yous and Sue went to
talk to Pam.
When she got there Pam had just finished the lunches and just to have a
15 minute break before serving
them. Sue and Pam had
a good conversation and Sue even stayed for lunch because she was invited. Sue was noticing Pam was
very patient and cautious of people’s needs at the village and she realised
that’s the way she should be if they give the coopers the contract. After Pam finished the lunch shift the
wash up crew were ready to start so Pam took Sue for walk around the village
introducing her to people passing by. Sue met Matt Lowtie who was kicked out of home at the
age of 18 because he was violent but he is trying to control his temper. Then she met Lucy Shidle who was
kidnapped by terrorists from her parents house in Beirut 25 years ago and got
out knowing both her parents are dead so 7 years ago they gave her a place here
at Pathway Gardens Pam told her she can be hard work sometimes but for people
who know her situation she’s fine. Then
they met Fou who was a former bank robber who served 35 years in gaol for
pulling off a bank robbery in St Kilda. When he got out of prison a reformed man no one wanted
him except for the people here but he mustn’t rob anymore. Pam said he is very grateful to be
given a chance to show he is reformed.
Pam also said that she hasn’t noticed anything bad coming out of
him. Sue was breathing a sigh of
relief. Pam then decided to
go back to the kitchen to start to think about dinner tonight for the residents
so she said goodbye to Sue and then went back to the kitchen and thought about
dinner.
David
next patient was a man who at the age of 8 had a knife put right at his throat
by a teacher at school. He
told David that this teacher was trying noticing I was getting bullied so he
tried to teach me how to defend myself from a knife attack and I at that moment
thought it was a rubber knife but little did he know that the teacher was
joining in to try to get me on side and then kidnap me and then kill me. He a respectable member of the
community would do such a cowardly act. We went to court he said to David but he got off
scott free and my parents were furious with him and appealed but that didn’t
work either. David
asked him did his parents want revenge on him and he said well dad did but I
always thought mum didn’t until she saw him at the shops and she abused him so
much I was even afraid of her.
That didn’t sound like mum so this really did upset her a lot. David then asked how do you know
he had a real knife did you feel it.
He said yes I did at the end and I tried to get away and the teacher if
you ever told the truth he will kill me and I told my parents and they wanted
to deal with it. Which I didn’t mind so much.
David
said is there a chance he could still do it. He who asked to remain anonymous name was William
Nocket thinks that he will still kill me but I did research and he now has a
walking frame so he hasn’t much chance to catch me now. David asked William then
that has he got anyone like a gang member or anyone to go after you. William wasn’t sure but didn’t want to
test to see if he has he just wanted to forget about it. David
suggested to William that he should make this guy suffer for what he did by
having him put in a lock down mental home because he shouldn’t die thinking
that what he did was good in any way. William said I should but how Should I do
it. David said you could go under
oath in court and I could request that he gets constant guard so he couldn’t
ring friends or anyone. William
thanked him and decided to see if he has the right to do that.
Sue’s
next patient was 42 year old woman when she was a teenage rebel had a gun
pointed to her head for about 1 hour to try to get the bad out of head. Sue asked her name which was Sandra
Kinner. When Sandra was a teenager
she changed the n’s in her last name to l’s so she could be known as a
killer. It worked like a
charm until one alcoholic decided to put a gun to her forehead. She
told Sue that noone even her parents didn’t respect her then but she still has
nightmares from the trauma.
Now she is worried that the drunk was sort of out of line particurily
when she sees people on the news doing the same kind of thing and it sounds so
wrong. Sue told her to keep
a good head on her shoulders because what you were like in the past is in the
past and everyone did at least something wrong when they are teenagers so
people shouldn’t worry about that.
Sue
said if you are really worried you should do research about trying to track
down this man and have put away because taking the law into his own hands is
wrong no matter how good are his intentions. Sandra asked Sue how could she start? Sue told her look around at the place
it happened and try to figure out his occupation back then but you need to know
that probably a lot of people who know him might hate you and want you dead so
tread carefully.
Sandra
thanked Sue and went out to waiting room to make the next appointment to see
Sue Cooper.
Sally
is helping a 35 year old who is dying of cancer and Is begging she gives him a
shot of morphine because he is suffering really bad. Sally told him that there work ethics involved but
come in here and tell me all about what is going in your
life. The man said my name is
Fred Brown, my wife and kids moved away from me, I lost my job because they
wanted someone more able to permanent, people asking me to go to a hospice and I won’t be seen dead in one of
those places and my parents told me I only have myself to blame for anything
that happens to me. I
normally don’t ask for an easy way out but this is a f’’n emergency and it is
hard to live anymore. Sue asked
Fred did he request chemo for it.
Fred said he tried it but it made his body feel worse so I never came
back there. Fred told Sue if
you don’t help me die I will kill myself.
Sally brought Fred down to the lockup area of the clinic and called the
police because Fred is a danger to himself as well as other people. Sally suggested the mental Health
assessment unit instead of Gaol because his problems are not criminal but
personal trauma.
There
is an masked motorcyclist lurking around Melbourne trying to find a new love
interest. Sue is turned on
by his sudden charm he brings to everybody as he moves quickly on a
motorcycle. She said to her
friends isn’t he a hottie. Her
friends agreed with her immensely.
David’s
next patient was John Forrit who has arthritis on the hip and keeps trying to
jump the waiting list to get a hip replacement. This time David was one step ahead of him when he said
We haven’t got any space for you because you haven’t got insurance so you have
to be patient. David offered
to put him on drugs to ease the pain but he is getting sick of it because he
has waited for this procedure for 5 years. He means 5 years of total pain and he didn’t want drugs
because they all have side-affects, which he doesn’t want. David told him he’ll
see what he could do but he is not promising anything to him.
The
masked motorcyclist finally reveals himself to the Coopers clinic as John
Anthony Prendth who just made himself one Sue’s many patients as he is having
problems with aches in his head and wants to Sue to take and x-ray of it just
to make sure everything is normal.
Sue asked him where he is from to see if he well mentally but John was
not saying he had a mental illness he said it could be a migrane headache or
something because he never heard of that happening to people like him before he
thought it was an little old lady thing and not a tough motorbike rider.
Sue
gave him a headscan and told him that there is nothing that she could see but
she will give him a script for migrane medication just to be on the safe
side. After that John
confessed that he has the hots for her and wants to have the courage to ask her
out. Sue said
goodbye to John and was so happy she went in and told her mum and dad about the
new man in her life.
Ron was startled and told her to be careful of yourself as well as the
business and Sue told Ron that she
will not marry him unless she finds out if he really is the right one.
Sue
rang John up and said yes to Friday night dinner and dancing and John was
delighted that she liked him.
Sue couldn’t wait to tell all her friends about the hottie motorcyclist
is her date this Friday.
Meanwhile
David’s next patient was a 11 year old boy who keeps having dreams about the
grim reaper calling his name out to die.
His parents were worried and friends thought he was a freak but the grim
reaper coming for him act seemed very real. Some nerdy kids asked was the grim reaper black and
Your card was the death card and they were willing to help me but I don’t
believe in the grim reaper I just think it looked like him for what I
remembered on television. What
could I do here Dave?
David
said you have to search for your inner beliefs which most people don’t know
until their older but that might be the only way you could kill this vision. Sometimes people have beliefs
that other people can’t imagine anyone could ever believe but the person
believes because in them it seemed so real
He said sometimes the
grim reaper tries to take his poppy away from him and threatens if his poppy
doesn’t die soon he will die as young as he is now. The family were interested if there was a medication that
could control this vision but David says this problem is mainly too adult for
him because most kids believe that the grim reaper is cool and the parents know
that it is not real and the kid will learn in time. David said “if you stop thinking about the negative
side of this situation maybe it will go away. Like when he thinks about it try to change the subject and
if it doesn’t work after 7 days don’t be ashamed to call me. David’s next patient
was Fran Bellingham who has just been put on a medication that forces movements
in her fingers and sometimes the
muscle tissue on her arm.
David had a few exercises like placing her fingers right in front of her
face to see if they move unusually.
David saw that they have little movements in the hand and needed to sort
of relax. David also
saw movements in the tongue which is normal for her medication but when you say
it to Fran she almost bites your head off. She doesn’t mean too do that but she is so
determined that she doesn’t want to be a guinea pig to the medicine line. She says if the medication keeps me
normal I don’t want to change. David said to her that
I don’t think that you should go off your medication I just think that you need
to watch the odd movements in your
body so if there can be a chance to fix it we could with your blessing of
course. Fran asked
David if she needs to exercise her hands more to stop it or just do
nothing. David said exercise is
good. John Prendth was again
causing motorcycle mayhem by riding to
his date with Sue.
The only problem was that every car on the road had the drivers having
conversations on the mobile phones and it was hard for John to get around in
fear of being rode off the road.
He tried to go around one and the driver yelled out “watch it mate” So
he went back behind him and he tried to go around the other and he yelled Ya
f.’’n idiot so he went back but he wanted to take the risk here because these
people were such losers.
Then John thought if he behaved like a bikie they might take notice of
him. So he lifted his front
wheel up to wheelie mode and went off like a bikie but when he came to the
front he crashed into the road and the cars went head over turkey over them
which caused a major accident.
When the paramedics
got there they tried to save Johns life and others went over to the cars. David who was also there rang Sue
in the restaurant to say the bad news about John and Sue started crying and
boring the tears out of the waiters and staff at the restaurant. After Sue had a quite
unexpected meal for 1 at the club she went to the hospital to visit John and he
was still unconscious with Sue at his bedside. Johns parents came down and wondered who this
estranged lady who was by her bed. When Sue told them the truth there were a few
sparks flying. Like they
were blaming her for this situation. John said you were a handful but
we refused to believe him.
Sue said the truth but they wouldn’t believe her. So Sue ran home to Ron hoping he could
fix this little problem she has but Ron told her that if John really loves you
he will come to you. People
don’t listen to parents like that in the way you think anymore. A week later Sue got out of bed fresh to
start back at work after her ordeal With the strange lady
by John’s bedside. Sue had planned
the next 3 days of Her time back at work on
a piece of paper she kept in her pocket, you see what She wanted to do is
just talk to the patients but don’t get over-involved because That’s what got her
into the mess in the first place.
Her first patient was a Mother who has big
dreams for her 8 year old daughter.
What she wanted For her is that when
she finishes school be will be a ballet dancer much to the Dismay of both her
father and daughter but Sue tried not to get to involved With this family
battle just said let her do what she wants because you only Get one shot to really
impress her and frankly the way you are going, you are Going to drive you
over the edge and I mean that in the nicest possible way. After they left Sue
went into her father’s room and blabbed the problems Her last patient has
and drove Ron to have a bottle of whisky.
Sue went into Her room to see her
next patient who was a schitzophrenic man who heres Voices saying that he
should grab a child and rape him or her and Sue told Him that if he does
that he will go to gaol for a long time and there is no Way you will see
anyone you love anymore. Sue
taught herself to be calm And not worry about
what she could’ve had with John and she had to move on Before she could
become the other woman and she would hate that a lot. David visited the
mental illness drop in centre to give them their annual Flu shots just in time
for winter again. And this year
there was this mother Of 3 who suffers from
deep depression and occasionally has very severe Panic attacks who
collapsed on the floor right in front of David and rang The Coopers family
clinic to see if his Dad could send someone out there To make sure this
woman was Ok. Before Ron got
there David tried to Comfort the woman but
she was too stressed to help herself get better Because in about an
hour she had to pick up her kids from school so Without thinking about
the protocol of his job he rang his sister Sue Up with the
information on where to pick up the kids but she had to Come to the drop in
centre first to make sure the lady trusted her. Sue was happy to do
that, so she went straight to the drop in centre And the lady rang the
school to make sure her kids were picked up By Sue and noone else because this woman didn’t train her kids That there are some
other trustworthy people around who are Adults that we haven’t
met yet. Sue went to the school and picked up the kids and bought them Straight to the
hospital and when she got there John had woken Up from his coma and
asked Sally where is Sue and he wants to see Her. Sally told him the truth
why Sue didn’t wait at his bedside Because a estranged lady who Sue thought was his wife was There and she had to
take a week off to get her head around it. John said to Sally, no that was my sister probably because she Wants to be the first
of us siblings to get married and if that Doesn’t happen she
tries to make sure that I never get happy. When Sue arrived with the kids the lady thanked her and asked If they could go to a
childrens play centre because she doesn’t want Them to see her mother
like this. When she brought the kids to the play centre she had to stop to Play with them for a
while because there was no one there to Look after them and while she was doing that John walked in And explained who the estranged woman was and first Sue Didn’t believe him but
then it started to make a lot of sense Because she wasn’t really holding him like a wife would but Sue was having a good
day and she didn’t want anyone to put A dampener on that.
John said that he really wants kids one Day and he would be
happy to be a doctor to make your dad Happy as well because he is in his second year in training to Become a GP and it
would be nice to get my foot in the door Here. Sue told him that he
is too attractive not to have had a Fling or get a girl
pregnant in his life but he said that she was The only girl he wants to but he said that he had a daughter in Samoa but that was 8
years ago and the woman is an absolute Nut but she always has
control of her child and I don’t get a say. So one day I want a say when you are ready and that made Sue Feel weird and she had
to tell him that she wants to get on with His sister first and John said how about we have dinner on this Friday coming. John agreed to dinner and Sue
went into the Lunch room and made a very strong coffee because she needs To have a high dose of
caffeine in her. Ron was busy dealing with parents of a autistic 12 year old Boy who drives her
parents nuts trying to do what he wants All the time and the parents let him get away with it because They are scared of
becoming horrible parents and Ron told Them that kids who have a disability quite like your son’s Are quite reluctant to
do only what makes him happy and It is very common to just let him do what he wants to do And ignore things that you want to do. The parents wanted To have a mixture and
they said they will try any drug that Could enhance his
interest in other people’s activities. Ron said the only thing I could prescribe while the parents are Ready to except a
script Ron actually meant that he will Prescribe showing him a bit of love which means do by all Means things that make
him happy but reward him at this Tender age that if he does one activity a week that you or any Member likes to do as
well to get him to function in the real world When he grows up. He also added that if you except
that he has to Do what other people
want to do either he could end up with no friends And I don’t think he
will want that now do we. Ron said goodbye to
the family wishing them the best and then he accidently Walked in on John and
Sue sharing a private moment of lust. Ron was shocked
because Sue in this job is supposed to act responsible And just do her job
while she was on duty and then Sue dropped a bombshell And told her father
that john is a second year trainee as a GP and besides all that Sue said she is
actually falling in love with him and Ron told Sue that he wants to See her in the
reception area. When they got to the
reception area Ron began lecturing Sue about the role she Has at this hospital
which is Sue is under the supervision of Ron and she doesn’t Get a say in the
running of the business because he said that we hardly know the Man and that is not
what I want on y conscious that we employ a man without Any written references
or anything to prove what he says is correct and you Are obviously thinking
of your future happiness with a perfect family. Sue told Ron that
maybe she did go about it the wrong way about, but he Doesn’t look like that
it is fake and you would like this hospital business To go no even after
you die and that is what I want to so employing John Could mean the future
of this place. Ron shook his
head and told Sue That he needs some
time to get his head around the whole matter because He didn’t quite know
what to say about if the kids thought of expanding The business after his
death. Just as Ron was
leaving the hospital one of his patients who has a mental Illness was being
dragged into the psych ward kicking and screaming Because he was causing
a public disturbance at the local churc. You see he vandalised
the statue of Jesus that has just been finished. As he was doing it, he
was saying things like, I am Jesus and I don’t approve Of this statue being
at this church because I back in those days was a very Private person and
these Christian c***s say that I am part of their church Activities. Ron
followed them and when they arrived at the pshych ward Ron went over to him
and asked him, “what seems to be the problem and he Told him what he did
and the reason why he did it. Ron said even if you
are Jesus and whether or not he would really approve or Not don’t you realise
that there is no excuse for vandalism. He said back in the
days the so-called bible was talking about it just said Jesus was a man with
his own fair share of problems and I personally think That I was put on this
earth to show the church what really happened to Jesus on Good
Friday.
Ron said to him that you have a conscious about this If you want to be
treated like a normal person and the mentally ill man said Why should I have a
conscious because everybody bloody Christian in this Entire world said
Jesus died on the cross and then 2 days later he rose again. Ron sat there nodding
his head and the man said well I am trying to show the Church what really is
going on since he died. He
said he was reincarnated as Different beings on
Earth right to the present day in which he is me. Ron was thinking that
he is in a bad way and went over to the nurses to Increase his meds to
see if he finds his conscious of what he did. It gave him an idea to
