Description
(previous: Natalie lashing out | next: Roommate delivery )"Did you actually think I'd agree to this? There's no way I can let you-"
"Do you have any better ideas? ... Sorry, I didn't mean to snap. I just feel like we have to do something drastic, now, or Natalie's never going to trust us again."
"... Yeah, her last therapy session was a total waste of time. I feel just as bad for her as you do-"
"She finally felt safe here, and she started to put herself back together with our help, and then Marta broke her. If we don't get her to trust us again, she's never going to make any more progress, so we may as well give up and discharge her. Who knows, next time she tries to kill herself, maybe she'll succeed!"
"That wasn't funny."
"No, it wasn't. I've never been more serious."
"Let's say I agree with you -- in principle -- that this might work. That doesn't mean I can actually authorize you to stay with her, completely helpless! It's one thing to take care of Natalie, but I can't ask your coworkers to do all of that stuff for you too-"
"I checked with everyone before I came to talk to you; they're all fine with it."
"We're already short-staffed with Sophie and Marta out on medical leave, I can't lose you too-"
"This is the lightest patient load we've had in months; you said so yourself. This will all come out of my vacation time, and Sophie said she'd come in to help me and Natalie with as much as she can, so it's less of a burden on whoever's working."
"Who's going to pay for the material? And who's going to apply the casts?"
"I already bought everything, and I have a friend in the ortho wing who owes me a favor. We'll come in when she's not working and we'll grab an empty cast room during off hours; it won't be a problem."
"..."
"Look, we're asking everything of Natalie, I think our only chance is to show her that we can make some sacrifices for her too. Please."
"... Fine. But if anyone finds out about this, you did it all on your own and I had no idea what was happening."
---
"Phew, that was a pain! Putting somebody in one of those is usually a two- or three-person job. Don't try to move for a few more minutes, it hasn't totally hardened yet."
(Right, hold still. Stay calm, no big deal: just a few more minutes until this fiberglass prison becomes inescapable and unbreakable.)
"Now for the legs. I'm going to start with your left. ... You're awfully quiet; you sure about this?"
"Not as sure as I was an hour ago. So let's get this over with before I change my mind."

As we all know Natalie is going to get better.
But I wonder how many nurses will sacrifice her mobility to achieve this.

I guess time will tell (and you of course

Thanks God, that there are people, which will do all for a friend, although it is possible a little bit short thought, or it is only out off an impulse
I really hope, that they and especially she can help Natalie wit such drastic measures

I wonder whether there are some parts of this plan which Stephanie hasn't thought through -- perhaps how long it might take to regain Natalie's trust
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You are right, that Stephanie have not thought about. how long she could needed to reach Natalie's trust, that could become a great problem
But I think, that she will not so long must stay in her casts as Natalie. I think Staphanie could lose her cast only a hour before Natalie
But that is a problem for the far future, because until now she has not even her leg casts

Great work, can’t wait to see how the legs turn out as well as the overall treatment escalates. Hopefully it will help get Natalie back on the right track.

Much appreciated! Stephanie's cast combo isn't going to be very original at all -- I was in the middle of posting a future picture involving Natalie when this side story occurred to me.

Intriguing results of how Natalie has been abused.
One nurse drugged and trapped in a full body cast and hidden away under a false ID. With no means of easily identifying herself to others and no idea how long she will be like that, not to mention potentially fated to remaining in her current condition for quite a long time.
Now a second nurse voluntarily taking on the same restrictions as the patient. And from the conversation going to be presented to Natalie in said form as an object lesson of sorts to try and show some level of solidarity and/or empathy. I hope it works.

As a side note, by the time that DSS has reached the shape it is displayed in, it is already inescapable for the person inside. The worst they could do is deform it a bit before it becomes rigid which could potentially create folds or ridges that can cause pressure points/sores.

Thanks! I've found it relatively easy to come up with new ideas for this story line; I feel like many of the scenarios naturally suggest a follow-up which is worth exploring.
And I agree about a DSS already being inescapable by this point, but that doesn't mean Stephanie knows that
edit: I just realized I hadn't mentioned this nurse's name except in a comment on a previous picture .
