From the desk of Dr Bassett.

Memo to Dr Hatchjaw.

Oh dear. What’s got into you, Wallace? Sorry, Dr Hatchjaw, if you insist. Although it seems a bit silly to be using our full titles when we’re just sending each other informal memos. But I seem to have offended you, and I’m sorry. However, there was no call for that crack about the high standards that I ‘profess’ to hold. That’s not very nice.

I know the whole status issue is a bit awkward, but I do my best. As for the stuff about gender, let’s not even go there. The fact is, I was simply making an observation on what you wrote in your report. I’m sure you’ll do excellent work with Patient FJ, and I’m glad you’re keeping a close eye on him. From what I saw of him during his admission, he looks as if he could be quite a handful! But you’re always very good with that type of man, Wallace. My goodness, rather you than me!

Look, let’s not get into a misunderstanding over this. If you’d like to discuss FJ, and your treatment plan, I’m more than happy to talk about it. If not, let’s just have a chat anyway. Why not drop in for a cup of tea later?
