WORDS

Dr. Abelló's class, the group was discussing the case of patient 13, that's what he called himself, the Doctor did not give them the name of the woman yet, the chair of the day could not be in Gesell since patient 13 she had suffered from a seizure of epilepsy the day before and was in the hospital at the time, and had a neurological monitoring.

Okay guys, what have you investigated about our patient 13's symptoms ?; I await her hypothesis, her possible symptoms and her theories about her.

Andrea Santos, one of the doctor's best students, raised her hand to ask for a word --- from what we can identify, she has strong traits of paranoid schizophrenia and there are also schizoid traits; but the strangest thing is that in the last consultation she had coherent language- Santos term.

That's right, Santos- said Abello sometimes returns to reality, but not all, let's continue with the case and a bit of the girl's story ...

PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL.

It was a new day for Doctor Samaniego, he had already taken his position as the director of the hospital for three months, there were things that he still did not handle well, and it was his shifts as a doctor the same, but in general he managed the hospital great; Dr. Lanah helped him with patient 1903, she was a mysterious woman, she hardly spoke.

She remembered the first afternoon he attended her, the nurses took her to her office to begin the first session with him, in her years as a doctor, that had been the strangest and most disturbing consultation of her. Since she arrived in 1903, the nurses forced her to sit down, it seemed that she did not want to be there, it was somewhat disconcerting, since she had been calling the doctor since before he stepped into the hospital.

Hello, 1903, sorry to call you that- Samaniego said- but nobody knows your real name, since you have been here for ten years and you have never wanted to tell them- Samaniego's tone was not friendly, that woman caused him disgust since the saw enter.

In 1903 he stared at him trying to recognize him, but his gaze was lost, in his mind he saw a different Samaniego full of blood on his head, the woman was on top of him trying to touch him, but he was wearing the straitjacket. The only thing she kept repeating: you are alive !, you are alive !, no, this is not real, you are dead -before she began to cry inconsolably.

Tell me 1903, Who is dead ?, Tell me your story and so I can help you, even if you remember who you are, your family would come to visit you- Samaniego tried to keep calm, he sat the woman back in the chair, it was the first time that a patient was on top of him, he felt terror, but still that headache that he sometimes had; she had appeared, she 1903 she was silent again, before starting to say.

It was December, it was snowing, it was the first time I saw snow, he lit the fireplace and I felt happy - the voice from 1903 was clear, there were no traits of madness, but it was the only thing he said during that session, before ramble again and say only blood! "Blood! Samaniego called the nurses to remove the patient and take her to her room."

Samaniego stayed in the office when someone knocked on the door, it was Lanah Ángeles, her companion from the hospital, the woman entered that day wearing navy blue pants and a white blouse with plaid cuffs, on the neck she saw a pendant of the letter L Uppercase, something in his mind told him that you've seen it before, remember it, but it was something from a past life or something like that.

I see that you already had the first session in 1903, what did you think? -Said the woman sitting in front of Samaniego, he was still impressed by the consultation he just had; The look from 1903 was of a woman immersed in suffering, but still in madness, Samaniego looked up before answering Ángeles to bring her thoughts to the present.

It was a quite strange session - Manuel spoke - at first he didn't want to speak, but later, I think he recognized my voice, and he came on top of me, he couldn't do anything to me because of the straitjacket - the man's voice was monotonous, he had almost lack of emotion - when I told him that, if he helped me to know more about her, I speak of snow and that- Samaniego drank from the coffee he had in a cup on the desk.

Wow! - Angels exclaimed surprised- it is the first time she says more than 10 words together, after listening to the doctor's story- 1903 she is an enigmatic woman, after they found her in Rome covered in blood, she was alone- the last time to talk to her, she attacked me, she told her, showing her a bite on the arm, you will say that it is strange, but with me she was the one with which she became the most aggressive.

FLASH BACK

Lanah Ángeles was sitting waiting for her patient of the day, it was the turn of one of the interns, the famous 1903, she did not know why she had been assigned, but that was the way it had been, when the nurses left the woman in the chair, this when I got up I saw her

This and fixate on her, it went over him until he managed to bite her, the words that he repeated: ARE YOU ALIVE ?! DAMN, I KILLED YOU ...

END OF FLASH BACK

After that, they washed my wound and they couldn't sew, I know to avoid infections- Lanah said - of course I understood her again, but now the nurses were staying there, of course she didn't want to talk, she was looking at me with hatred and say I KILLED YOU!

I think she confused me with someone she knew, or in her delusions she thought something like that, after that another 2 doctors passed, until she started calling Samaniego, and curiously you arrived- said Lanha smiling at Samaniego, the man looked at The woman and something warm filled her chest, she saw the letter L on her chest and images came to her mind, the L falling from someone's neck, she closed her eyes and everything returned to normal, that patient had left him exhausted.

Well, Dra. Angeles, I'm retiring, it's time to go home, have a good night- the man said to Lanah that she stared at him intrigued, Dr. Samaniego was brilliant but weird.

The woman nodded and saw her boss leave, she wanted to say something to him, but she better kept quiet, the psychiatric hospital could drive anyone crazy, even the doctors who worked there, she got up from her chair to go to the ward where she would have guard overnight.
