The following is the text of the email message transmitted to Dr. D in June 2012. Also submitted with this email was a five page PDF that served as a compilation of all of the strange events experienced.

Hello Dr D:

I saw you for a period of one to two years from 1978 (?) on.

A year ago, after 12 years of working with HP, our entire work group was offshored and our jobs terminated. I appear to have two sets of problems arising from that.

1) I will be 60 in August and have been engaged in much self reflection. I had the realization today that I have been my own worst enemy. I think this speaks to what you referred to as learned behaviours. I can understand the mechanics of “how” and “why” but am not sure how to proceed to correct things or make positive change.

2) In the period immediately before the accident I was rear-ended while stopped at a light. In March I did some volunteer phone work and even though this was much easier set of tasks than those I performed with HP, I found I was having much difficulty. I went to see a GP, he did a blood workup which showed no physical issues and he referred me to a neurologist but the wait time in Quebec is over a year. Before going to the neurologist I went back and looked at my experience of the past year and realized that there were a great many issues that I had discounted. I have attached a PDF of this document. Paragraph 36 refers to an issue of some concern.

I apologise to you for making this imposition on you. I have debated to a great degree should I or should I not bother you. And my realization is that one of my core issues is that I try and handle everything myself and avoid referring to others, or seeking outside assistance. Given that realization I though it best I make the request and leave your response to you.

Regards,

Francis Fuller
