Four times a day, to control muscle spasms.

tablets for nerve pain.

because they tend make him a little,

Well, irritable.

Like, "more irritable".

It's all written down.

And he knows what is what. He might deny it.

And you got my number. Most of my other patients live nearby

I am never far away.

Don't worry. You're not here for any of the physical stuff.

Okay.

Or perhaps we could get to know each other a bit.

could tell me what you DO like to do.

Maybe.

Here's what I know about you, Miss Clark.

My mother says that you're chatty.

yeah.

could we strike a deal

Whereby you are very 'unchatty' around me?
