Idiots

Chart Note: John

Patient reports feeling "stressed out" and states that he is having difficulty sleeping and getting along with his wife.  Expresses annoyance with others and seeks help "managing the idiots."

What do you think pass or read more? I read most of this first chapter/case to my husband and we both thought the writing was good and very funny as well.  (So many have recommended this NF collection, that I couldn't wait to get a copy from the library).
