4/26/17: What is my life?

Cathleen: The whirring. The constant whirring. It never stops. Sometimes when I look to my right I see the drill, sometimes when I look my left, I see the rubber gloved hand. And then… he comes in.

Dr. Patrick: You’re having stress nightmares about the dentist again?

Cathleen: The other night he smacked me with a plank of wood! And then he asked if I had a hard on… why would I have the hard on?

Dr. Patrick: Perhaps because you felt he was being too..hard on you?

Cathleen: This is my job, Patrick. It’s not a joke.
