Monologue 5 - Birgit

The only problem I am facing with my work is attitude of the patients who are coming to me. They do not know what is the best for them. I know this. I see it. But they do not. I have to work very hard to convincing them, and they sometimes do not show their gratitude. 

They are very stupid to do this. They are missing the chance to look at what is wrong with them. Because always, there is something very wrong with these people. They are arriving at my door carrying a lifetime of scheisse and they expect me to say nothing about it and allow them to stay inside of it. Well, where I am from, we do not hold a leaf in front of the mouth. We say the truth. I will not be polite. I will help them see the truth in their lives, whether they like it or not. 

I have been doing for thirty years this job. I know what I do. If they do not know this, they will have to learn to listen. Everybody is followed by ghosts. If you are too afraid to turn yourself to look at them in their eyes and get to know them, they will always be bigger than you, and they will play the tricks on you. It is up to you. You stay, I fix you. You go. They fix you. You choose.
