[X] Marty - Session#92 Transcript
Dr. Fletcher
(writing notes) Kent Hardburg wrote on www.helpmypatients.com: "Marty's problem is lies. He makes up one lie and then he has to follow it with another, in a vicious cycle. Nothing good will ever come of it."
Will Schiano wrote on www.helpmypatients.com: "He needs to stop making up excuses
for himself - he's a malingerer. You should try mirroring his behavior."
Dr. Fletcher
Thank you for coming in today. I'm sorry that we weren't able to change the session to Monday after all.
Marty
You're welcome. I'm - it's really important to me to have our weekly meetings so I'm glad we could arrange something.
Dr. Fletcher
You know I - it was all set up and then I actually had a slight injury earlier in the day and I -
Marty
Oh, are you OK? What happened?
Dr. Fletcher
Yeah, it wasn't a big deal. It was a fruit spill. But why don't you tell me about this -
Marty
A fruit spill?
Dr. Fletcher
Yeah, there was a fruit spill on the street. A major fruit spill.
Marty
Where was that? I didn't -
Dr. Fletcher
It's in a neighborhood - I don't think that you would know it. But there was a massive fruit spill, really, and people were tripping all over the place and getting injured. I tried to help and I wound up tripping in a pile of oranges and getting a concussion. So that's why I wasn't able to make it.
Marty
You tripped on some oranges?
Dr. Fletcher
Yeah, it was dramatic.
Marty
This doesn't - are you making fun of me?
