"Okay. Thanks."

She goes out to the waiting room again. Sits in the same chair. Checks Simbook.

No one has magically found her that knows who she is. The algorithm suggests possible people for her to add as friends, but she can remember none of them and they're different enough from each other that probably it's just sort of spitting random people at her.

Is there like. An amnesia support group website or anything.

Permalink

Not that she can find before Doctor Bale shows back up and calls her by name.

Permalink

Off she goes to get her results.

Permalink

They go into a little room with a desk and a computer and a chair for her and the doctor has a little folder with a file in it. They look at the file then smile at her. "Good news! You're perfectly healthy. There is nothing wrong with you."

Permalink

 

"But I have amnesia."

Permalink

"Well, according to these exams there is nothing bad going on about you."

They offer her the file. It is extremely sparse, with one section for the questionnaire results that says "No Abnormalities", one for the blood tests that just says "Patient Healthy", and one for the CT scan with a few pictures of X-rays of (presumably) her brain and a note that says "Everything Normal".

"So what do you try next if your exams don't turn anything up but the patient still has amnesia."

Permalink

"Now you can just go home without worrying about anything! You're perfectly healthy," they say, still smiling.

Permalink

"- I'm not perfectly healthy! I can't remember anything from my life!"

Permalink

"I'm afraid I can't help with that."

Permalink

"Aren't you even going to refer me to a specialist?"

Permalink

"You are perfectly healthy."

Permalink

"If you had amnesia would you think you were perfectly healthy?"

Permalink

"The exam results are right here, ma'am."

Permalink

"That's not - I - do you even understand what I'm saying."

Permalink

"I'm afraid I can't help you any more."

Permalink

 

"I'm thinking about suing the hospital," she tries.

Permalink

"That is your right, ma'am."

Permalink

This is weird.

This is very very weird.

If she's perfectly healthy -

"How old are you," she asks the doctor.

Permalink

"I am an adult," they reply with no trace of confusion.

Permalink

"What are your parents' names?"

Permalink

"That information is personal, ma'am."

Permalink

"But do they like. Exist. Your parents."
