[October. For some people it means horrendous curses and nightmares keeping them awake. For Chase it means a horrendous work schedule and not enough sleep for nightmares to invade.

There are some patients, though, who make clinical distance that much harder.
He's escaped the wards for now, having allowed himself the reward of non-hospital coffee, and he's drinking it in the reception, flicking through one of the magazines left out for relatives playing the waiting game, and generally trying to look as little like a doctor as possible.]
