Saverio Monachino's new book is 'Little Bit of Faith'.
Anyone who
handles a patient load knows how difficult some can be. Dr. Selwood (a neuropsychologist) had a real doozy of a case assigned
to her, Dr. Arthur McAiden. When McAiden
first began his outpatient stint at the Kessler Institute he had trouble stringing
cognitive sentences together. Selwood
suggested he write his thoughts down, and so he did. At first, he wrote of the accident itself,
which had her wondering how he knew what he did. Then his story moved on and intertwined his
recovery process with what she believed to be a work of fiction. If he was trying to have fun at her expense,
she did not know. Either way, it didn’t
matter, but, when he moved on and began describing his take on the triune others
have used to describe his faith, she wanted to file this away in the circular
trash can beside her desk. Then one of
his characters came to life and paid her a visit. While her patient had struggled to re-enter
the three-dimensional space those living on earth call home, Dr. Selwood, in
turn, now struggled to accept the continuum of life Arthur had presented to
her.
