Pain, despair, fear and bad psychiatry

Rather than making Charles better the psychiatric resident and Duke seems to have made everything worse. When Charles started telling me that he was beginning to be afraid to go out of the house I began to see that he was doing even more poorly than I guessed. His usual stance has always been “I’m here, I’m queer, get over it” in most every social situation. Muscle spasms, anxiety, hypochondrias – all deepened. I’m at a rare moment where all I can do is cite it without analyzing it.
