Dr Rochet left her office and walked to Ali's room. Smiling as she walked in the door. She said softly. "Now Ali, I am told you need me to look after your hand. Can I see it?" She looks over his hand after he cautiously offers it to her. "Hmm...I will need some gauze and some..." She rattles off a few other things that she will need. She speaks softly about non-important things like the weather or the color of the walls and such, while she tends his hand. When she is finished she asks. "Is there anything I can do to make you feel better Ali? I hate to see you hurt yourself in this way." She frowns slightly, a look of concern on her face. She tried not to get too emotionally involved and stay detached from her patients, but she found it difficult with Ali. She wasn't sure why.

She waited, for Ali's reponse, while she made a mental note of what he would answer. She'd put it in her report later. She smiled warmly, while she waited for him to speak. She'd give him all the time he needed to answer.
