Sometimes Things Aren't What They Seem

Although the sign on the door noted that masks must be worn in the center, an agitated unmasked man entered the waiting room and asked the receptionists, "Do you have masks here at the desk? I don't have a mask." His tone and body language caught my attention. It was like he thought it was everyone's fault that he didn't have a mask and therefore might not get his physical therapy session without one. He saw his therapist across the room and hollered to him, "Do you have an extra mask in your office?" His therapist quickly found him a mask. Once the client put it on, he calmed down. The therapist asked gently, "So, what are we working on today?"

The client's shoulders slumped before he said, "I don't really feel like doing much of anything today. My mother died yesterday." Everyone in the waiting room, including his therapist, looked stunned. Seems like his attitude wasn't about the mask after all. 🙏🙏
