“I get the sense Dr. Fleming doesn’t like to lose.”
I didn’t know we were playing a game.
Some days being his doctor feels impossible,
but I try to minimize harm by addressing each gambit.
He threatened to leave, twice. I study, again.
His move. My move. Forward, diagonal, back.
What do I sacrifice next?
