The Interview

Tess Talks Candidly

Hello Tess, and welcome to THE INTERVIEW ROOM.

Your readers have enjoyed your amazing story and we're all glad it worked out so well for you in the end. Now we'd like to get to know you better. You, the person. What makes you tick. How it felt when you got shot at, for one thing.

Perhaps we could start there.

Getting shot at

QUESTION: We know that doctors face a range of challenges in their work but getting shot at is not usually one of them. How did that feel for you? What was going through your mind at the time?

TESS: I was frightened. There's no two ways about it. Getting shot at was scary. Just plain scary. Look, I don't even own a gun so having bullets exploding inside the cab I was in was downright frightening. Sometimes when I'm trying to get to sleep, the last few seconds of that taxi ride play over and over in my head. I think about what could so easily have happened but didn't. Thankfully. I just know that Somebody was looking after me that day.

QUESTION: Having the taxi driver killed just a few feet away from you, knowing the bullet was intended for you. What does that sort of thing do to your emotions?

TESS: It shakes them up, for sure. After it was all over and I was in Senator Gallagheri's home, I began to shake. It was my nerves producing a post traumatic reaction. I'd never experienced anything like that before. I'd learned about delayed shock reactions and seen them in patients but this was a definite first for me. If I let my mind dwell on the shooting for too long, the same physical shaking can start again. That's the power of the mind at work. I'd much rather use my mind to calm my body. You can do that, you know. Even in times of stress. But that's another topic for another day, I guess.

QUESTION: Earlier you had found out that the President was involved in this nasty business. How did you find out?

TESS: After the first few patients came into ER, we noticed that they all worked at the Stroker Metals plant so I visited the plant. The first people I met there weren't much help. I think they were scared of losing their jobs if they spoke up.

But on a later visit, one woman was brave enough - and scared enough - to hand me a folder of incriminating documents. I think she was scared of lead poisoning more than she was scared of losing her job. She was the breakthrough that we needed. She must have figured that I'd be back sooner or later, so she had prepared a folder of incriminating documents... which she gave to me. That was probably the scariest thing she'd ever done because she didn't really know what I would do with those papers... whether I could be trusted.

Once I read those papers, I knew the trail ran all the way to the top.
