1123 - DECOY

Poor Barry was hEading to his first treatment at the hospital. As he approached the department there was a lot of noise from a side room. Many of the the medical staff were celebrating meeting a key milestone during their lunch break. To Barry this seemed so dis-spiriting as he faced up to his first chemo session. As it happened the chemotherapy department had just started employing a comedian in the waiting room to see if that would act as a decoy for those patients like Barry whose spirits were low. Barry was not impressed at first, but before long he was laughing with the rest of the patients. He was in a much better mood when his name was called out for the treatment.
