Chapter Fifteen

Pax

I sit at my desk, and finally, I look up my doctor’s number.

I speak with the nurse.

“I’d like to schedule the surgery for my knee please.”

“When looks good for you, Mr. Tate?”

“The earlier, the better. It’s causing a bit of pain.”

As in, excruciating, debilitating pain.

She’s silent as she looks through the schedule.

“Well, Dr. Talbot is on vacation for the next two weeks, but Dr. Otham could do the surgery if you’d like?”

“Uh. I don’t know Dr. Otham,” I tell her.

“I assure you, he’s quite good. He could fit you in next week.”

“But if I wait one more week after that, I can have my regular doctor?”

She checks.

“Yes. Dr. Talbot can do it the week he returns.”

“Let’s do that.”

“Ok.” She puts me on the calendar, and I put it on mine. When I hang on, I count the days.

Eighteen days.

I call her back.

“Can I have some muscle relaxers to help with the pain in the meantime?”

She pauses. “Muscle relaxers won’t help with this, Mr. Tate.” The hell they won’t. I want to tell her I’ve been taking them, but don’t. “And I’m not sure, given your history, that Dr. Talbot will want to prescribe you anything stronger. I’ll check with him and get back to you.”

“Don’t bother.”

I hang up on her. My history? Why the fuck had I been so honest in filling out my medical history when I became a patient? They’re just using my honesty against me, and now I’m stuck with pain.
