Medical Notes[]

Marion[]

  • Diagnosis:
    • Diabetes
    • Depression
  • Treatment:
    • Insulin
    • Residential care

Marion was seen by Naomi, who said her blood sugar was high and asked if she'd been taking her insulin. She seemed not like herself. Gabriel suggested a brain surgery that could treat her depression. But Marion refused it. Naomi sent Sheldon to talk to her. Sheldon believed Marion needed talk therapy. They thought her grief stemmed from the loss of her friend Walter. But Gabriel said she thrived after the loss of her husband, so it should be possible for her to get over the loss of Walter. He went to see her and she said that she loved Walter, but she felt like she was betraying her late husband, Jerome, so she never told him. Gabriel said he had to know that she loved him.
