01/5/2015 I visited Patient's family apartment, as pre-arranged with Valerie Jarrett, and found him in his accustomed position-- face down on the hideous brown sofa, beating at it feebly with his fists. "What seems to be the trouble?" I ventured. "I feel ignored," came the reply. This is a fairly permanent state with this Patient who has narcissistic personality disorder. "Oh, come, come," I said. You're the leader of the Free world." He looked up at me gratefully. "How'm I doin' Doc? he asked, echoing NYC mayor Ed Koch.
"You're getting more attention than the Kardashians," I replied. He almost purred with pleasure. Dictated by S.H. Rink, M.D.
