Dear Scott #11

Dear Scott,

What if, in your trial, instead of a lawyer you had a person impersonating a lawyer? And instead of a real judge you got someone who wanted to be a judge someday but never had time for law school and instead of a jury of your peers you got a bunch of people rounded up from the street enticed by free coffee?
What if it wasn't a trial at all but a play? And everyone rehearses their roles so well it feels like real-life instead of actually being real life? What if you never injected anyone with fluids in the first place or removed bits of infected chest tissue and you before each procedure you would whisper into the ear of your patient, "this is all pretend," and they would follow along with the plot and character development and you could still feel a sense of accomplishment?

More ideas coming your way,
Rachel
