Dr- Have a seat.
My understanding from Dr. Cusamano,
your physician...
...is that you collapsed.
Possibly a panic attack?
You were unable to breathe?

Patient- They said it was a panic attack.
The blood and neurological
work came back negative.
And they sent me here.

Dr- You don't agree that
you had a panic attack?
How are you feeling now?

Patient- Good.
Fine. Back at work.

Dr- What line of work are you in?

Patient- Waste management consultant.
It's impossible for me to
talk to a psychiatrist.

Dr- Any thoughts at all
on why you blacked out?

Patient- I don't know. Stress, maybe.

Dr- About what?

Patient- I don't know.
The morning I got sick,
I'd been thinking.
It's good to be in something
from the ground floor.
And I came too late for that, I know.
But lately, I'm getting the feeling
that I came in at the end.
The best is over.

Dr- Many Americans, I think,
feel that way.

Patient- I think about my father.
He never reached the heights like me.
In a lot of ways he had it better.
He had his people, they had
their standards, they had pride.
Today, what do we got?

Dr- Did you have these feelings of loss
more acutely before you collapsed?

Patient- I don't know.
A couple months before, these
two ducks landed in my pool.
It was amazing. They're from Canada,
and it was mating season.
They had some ducklings.
