As strange as it seems, it is quite good to be back at Cheshire. I didn't think I'd miss it. To be honest, I don’t even know what I’ve missed about it. My colleagues seem completely inadequate most of the time, and my patients tend to make my head spin with their nonsense. But still, it feels good to be back.
I took quite some time for myself, spending most of it going from one hospital to another after speaking with Directors. I told them how interested I was in getting a feel for what other establishments were like, to see how patients were treated and how the staff reacted to some of the more…eccentric patients residing there. It was interesting, to say the least. Some of them were rather harsh, resorting to straight jackets for even the slightest of outbursts. I swear, if I took that approach, Charity and Martin would be bound for the rest of their days here at Cheshire. I don’t know what I’m going to do if those two can’t stop attacking each other. Maybe if the orderlies did their bloody job, and kept them away from one another like I specifically instructed after the first incident, this wouldn’t be that big of a bloody problem. Perhaps their other doctor can think of more suitable ways of keeping them apart, but I highly doubt it.
Honestly, I’m stunned that the hospital has allowed such an inexperienced Doctor to handle these cases. I personally I don’t think he has what it takes to deal with both of them. It doesn’t help that his methods are almost everything I’m against. I don’t believe it’s necessary to befriend a patient. It seems unprofessional, and in some cases, it can cause confusion. I’m all for sitting down and talking with my patients, since I must know what’s going on inside of their heads before I can do much to help them, but there’s a line I am not willing to cross.
They can say what they’d like about me, staff and patients alike. I’m not here to win a popularity contest. I do my best to relate to my patients, but I refuse to coddle them.
Unlike some people around here.

I've never had this much trouble with any of my other patients before. They usually show some signs of improvement by now. I don't understand it, the medications I've given to each of them should be doing thier jobs. Martin is still as erratic as ever, Charity never makes any sense, and only seems to be calm when she's playing her violin, Delilah keeps falling asleep, and Robbie is still absolutely obsessed with that bloody clock. I think Evelyn has been acting just a bit better, though. I'm not sure if it's because she hasn't been feeling well lately, or if she's upset, but I'm hoping that it's the ADHD medication taking effect. I've tried about 3 so far, and none of them did a damn thing. I swear, that girl's attention span lasts for about 2 seconds before she gets distracted by something shimmering in the window.
Perhaps I should increase their dosages. See where that takes me.

This place seems to be swarming with interns, lately.
I'm probably supposed to try and teach them something, but I can hardly stand to be around any of them for very long. There's that idiot Victor who's always stuttering like a fool, Lita, who thinks it's perfectly alright to be 'friends' with patients, and then there's Corbin. I just hope he isn’t as dumb as he looks.
I suppose we’ll just have to wait and see. I doubt it though, since he seems to be very chummy with Lita. Already a mistake, if you ask me.
Oh well. If they want to learn anything at all from me they’ll have to prove that they’re capable of handling everything here as Cheshire.

The Red Queen.
Hm.
It isn't the first time I've been called this by a patient, and yet I still don't understand it. At first, I thought it had something to do with my name, because that would be sense. But it seems that to some of the patients here, I am percieved as someone horrible and cruel.
I'll have to ask Martin when I see him next, I suppose. I know he will not give me a straight answer, but it's better than nothing. If I ask him who the Red Queen is, he'll probably just point out that it's me, and then go on about those tarts.
Perhaps I'll have to give him incentive to tell me more about this Queen.
And I do hope Van Dort will take care of Alice. I can only imagine what things will be like the next time we run into eachother.
