Diagnosis

The Psychiatrist informs the Mother and
Father of his findings. But will they accept
the unconvetional course of treatment
he suggests?

Flute and bass flute: Jeroen Goossens

[Psychiatrist]
Yes, I'm afraid I see signs of impairment
But there is something more
He's an exceptional savant
One in a million
His mind is ablaze with distraction
But maybe I can help
I'm a testing a new drug
That can help him focus
[Father]
Please tell us more
That sounds intriguing
Can he join your clinical trial?
If he can concentrate he could help me
He might even be of some use!
[Mother]
Center the mind,
cut straight to the core
Brighten the flame,
break open the cage
Shatter the walls,
shut down the noise
Soften the pain,
sharpen the brain
[Psychiatrist]
I have to confess
It's experimental
I'm still running through the test
The side effects could include extreme delusions
[Mother]
No, not on my life!
I'll never allow it
No matter what we can win
I won't let you endanger my child
I refuse to play dice with his life!
Center the mind,
cut straight to the core
Brighten the flame,
break open the cage
Shatter the walls,
shut down the noise
Soften the pain,
sharpen the brain

(Next song: The argument 1:
Is the Psychiatrist's experimental drug
worth the risk? The Mother and Father
have vastly different views - and
motivations.)
