Chapter 37 : Letter to neuropsychologist

Alan Carlton

Dear S,

                Thank you for doing your job. I feel that I have been the recipient of very good care. For a lot of the time I have felt the care has been unjustified.  I am undeserving and  am nothing but very humble.

                In the last few weeks my rehabilitation has gone ahead dramatically. One thing I have tried is meditation. It is not something we discussed and I do not know your thoughts on the topic but for me, at the moment, there seem to be no side effects and fantastic benefits.

                I know that you are seeing Bradley. And that you have a job to do and that you will do it. But as well as that, please think about the following:

                I would like Bradley to think about his future. To imagine a future where he sees himself as a health professional. A future where he both studies (at Uni) and then (post study) cares for people. He is definitely capable of both. The way to do this is to be yourself and do your job. If you do that you might, in some small way, help to inspire him. Maybe sometime in the future you will work alongside him.

                                               

Regards Alan Carlton
