PRIVATE MEMO

TO: Dr. Carson Beckett

FROM: Col. John Sheppard

RE: Escape

Come on, you'd be surprised if I didn't try it. You know, if you would just let me keep busy, you wouldn't have this problem. I'm really bored and have already counted the ceiling tiles.

RE: Boredom

You might try actually reading that book you brought with you. Or is it just for show? (Personally, I couldn't stand the thing. I had to read it while I was at university, and the bloody thing put me to sleep every time.)

RE: Apology

It's still pretty hazy, but I think I remember trying to strangle you. I'm really really sorry about that. Shades of Ford, huh?

RE: Apology

Already forgiven, John. Not Ford's fault, and not yours either. In your case, it's a credit to you that you managed to hold it together for as long as you did.

You'll be happy to know that Caldwell was unsuccessful in his attempts to usurp your position. He tried, but despite numerous memos of his own, he failed. So your job is safe. Just behave yourself, stop tormenting Carson, and concentrate on getting better.

So how's that for bedside manner?
