I'm not going to push him to tell me anything and we need to start building up some trust to see if he will talk. Something is going on in his personal life, but I suspect I won't unlock that for a while. I'm just going to introduce myself to him and slowly start building up that trust with him to hopefully get him talking. I don't feel comfortable calling him John Doe the entire time either so I will probably find a little nickname for him like kiddo or something along those lines. It will depend on how well he reacts to nicknames. /span/spanspan class="EOP SCXW36203879 BCX2" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 19.425px; font-family: Corbel, Corbel_EmbeddedFont, Corbel_MSFontService, sans-serif; color: #000000;" data-ccp-props="{:259}" /span/p

He looks in my direction and I know he is calm just from his body language. "Hey buddy, I've just come to change the dressings on your arms is that okay?" I ask him. I wait for him to take that in and then make his decision. After about a minute he nods, and I walk into his room. I don't go any closer to him. Then Kelsey walks back in with the supplies. "Here you go George," she tells me and hands me them. "Thanks, Kelsey," I reply, following her lead with being a little more informal in the way we are speaking in front of our patient. /span/spanspan class="EOP SCXW36203879 BCX2" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 19.425px; font-family: Corbel, Corbel_EmbeddedFont, Corbel_MSFontService, sans-serif; color: #000000;" data-ccp-props="{:259}" /span/p

It was the only non-verbal way I could think of off the top of my head. He nods and even gives me a smile. I am happier knowing he feels safe with me. I gently take off all the old dressings and put them to one side. I then make sure the wounds are clean before redressing them again. There was some evidence on his wrists that this was not the first time he had harmed himself, but it was the first time he had done it this deep. /span/spanspan class="EOP SCXW36203879 BCX2" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 19.425px; font-family: Corbel, Corbel_EmbeddedFont, Corbel_MSFontService, sans-serif; color: #000000;" data-ccp-props="{:259}" /span/p
