Beatrice Howard-Gabel
I saw Peter at the Olive in Voorhees over the weekend. It was really inspiring seeing him because he looked in amazing shape! He reminded me of the Rocky film where Rocky came into the ring and the announcer said he looked like a middle weight! Just great condition and he’s beautiful and it was beautiful seeing him!
The Battle of Bryce (Second Draft)
Frustrated by the endless Battle for Bryce
By some men she cared for little
Cro-Magnon or Neanderthal
Or perhaps a combination of both
She took to a plan
“Let’s infuriate Ed”
“That should be the end of Bobby”
but it wasn’t enough and in the end
she took The Battle on herself.
“Bobby it’s you I really love, not Ed”
“But he simply won’t leave”
“Let’s prove to him how much we love”
“By bringing our sweet bodies near”
With that they joined
Bobby and Bryce
And she called for Ed
“Darling come see what we’ve done”
And from the distance watched Ed
As Bobby rhythmically jumped her
Ed unmoved by the sight
Because he knew it meant nothing
Sex was a commodity that could be bought and be sold
And personal feelings could be kept on hold
It didn’t mean anything, it had no value to him
They could have been eating a burger with fries
As a matter of fact
Ed would have found
Bryce sharing her fries
To be much more saddening
Than Bryce sharing her thighs
She needed Ed to anger
Then with all his rage
He’d end the Battle for Bryce
And her potential cage
“I love you Bobby and I want you so much”
“Let’s madden Ed and he’ll lose his trust”
“Rip off my top, right in his front”
“Let’s see if he can stand this terrible affront”
With that Bobby tore
The shirt from her chest
Leaving her topless
And seeming aghast
And saddened Ed watched it
Knowing an act and not simply real
Powerless to save her
From the terrible fate that she must await
So began The Battle of Bryce
The most beautiful thing I’ve seen in a fight
The most beautiful thing I’ve seen
Evertime, everplace
I looked at the photos
Costumes of demons
wondered to self
Who would even wear ‘em
Beautiful colors with amazing sheen
Skin tight from headtoe
Razor sharp nails, gleaming like pearls
And demon like lenses completing the drobe
My breath taken away
But not the first time
Quietly she sat
She bided her time
Her dad, The Director, glanced over at her
He had an uncanny knack
of sizing it up and taking it in
for putting it out
He trusted his players
He knew what they’d do
Don’t know if he set this all up
‘cause Bryce could direct as well as the lot
She was also super magical
With great super powers
And a magical ability
To turn rainbows into flowers
But there were no rainbows today
Nor were there flowers
It was time for a battle
And in the etheric, I found her in garb
Things in etheric are somewhat different
I could not her recognize
Still the most beautiful thing
I’d seen between her and earth
Though breathtakingly beautiful
I was truly frightened
I’d never seen anything like her
A Female Demon enlightened
I kept myself calm I knew not what to do
A Lady Demon From Hell
All shimmering aglazed
“It’s time my love Eddie, it’s finally time”
And the Battle began, The Battle of Bryce
And she cut and she tore with nails that were long
And chewed and she ate, with teeth that were sharp
And then best of all she invited me to enjoin
Though generous in spirit, I had to demur
It wasn’t my taste
And for business at hand
She had changed to a more practical form
Like I, the Golem, a gray etheric mass
She was a demon of similar tass
I left her to dine with the man on the floor
His throat belied the rage of the man she abhorred
Of a woman who’d had
simply enough
Of multiple attempts
on her suitor’s life
More than enough
Enough scheming
Enough planning
Enough Bobby too
From men so rich
They could buy whatever they want
Or steal it, or own it
Like chattel eschewed
Two things though
They could not buy
One would not leave
And one would not die
Far and Wide found him
Ripped simply to shreds
Eaten there bodily
For anyone to share
And he went to The Director
And said, “She killed my son”
“And now you’ll pay dearly”
“For that what she done”
Of things he began to strip
The Director bare
He lectured and he raged
for more than anything else he loved his son
The Director was done but did keep his cool
Too seasoned a man, he takes things in stride
But I finally realized that the time had come
As there would be no end to this man’s vengeance
The time had come to take stock in The Battle for Bryce
And finish the final maneuvers of The Battle of Bryce
I raged and I angered and I found him alone
I wrapped my fingers around his throat…
And I squeezed
Leave no important job undone
And six minutes would be to long to wait
To asphyxiate
And harder I squeezed
Until the man separated from his shoulders
A too tragic end
Embarrassed at what I had done
I left the scene
And the Director called me in
Like God calling Cain
To a large group of friends
“Ed, what did you do?”
“I strangled him,” I said
“But you did so much more,”
“Do tell us, Ed,”
“tell us what more?”
“His head did he separate,”
“From his shoulder to toes”
“I didn’t mean this as such”
“It’s just, six minutes I had not”
The Director kept cool
As he saw the bigger picture
Of a symbolic ending
And an outsider unleashed
Of a man who had sold
All that he owned
For that was the price
Of a woman called Bryce
So ended The Battle of Bryce
A woman who undertook
The end to the most dangerous warlords
And their nefarious plans
And a man who was chattel
Who joined her bold plan
And followed her lead
Into the end

PASSNJ-Policy and Procedures: Contract for Safety (6/01/2018)
Lateness: Please be on time or early for your appointment. We make every attempt to run on schedule though this is sometimes difficult. Try to get appointments early if you need to be out quickly. We will attempt to see you if you are late but you may have to wait. We do have patients come in for emergencies. This can sometimes slow things down. Try to be patient; the next emergency that we need to squeeze in might be yours.
Work, School, Agency, Court or Other One-Time Ordered Evaluations: If you are here for a one time evaluation and we have not scheduled a follow-up appointment for treatment or initiated a treatment plan then you are not part of our clinical practice and we are not treating you. You are not our patient. If you have a psychiatric emergency or need psychiatric care you will need to call for an appointment for treatment with either myself or another psychiatrist. At that point you would be considered our patient and under our care. All work, school, agency, court or other one-time ordered evaluations and all pertinent and relevant documentation is directly released to the contracting agency and is secured by them. If you want a copy you’re advised to request it from the agency.
Paperwork, legal and disability forms: Long Term Disability forms will only be done after you’ve been actively treated in our practice for a period of six months or longer. This ensures we understand your case. If you have paperwork such as temporary disability forms that needs to be done, hand them to the clinician at the start of the session. If there is extensive paperwork such as permanent disability that requires letters, phone calls to lawyers, employers or others there may additional charges.
Emergencies: There is an emergency number on the PASSNJ phone message line for evening and weekends. Please use it if you have an emergency such as a medication reaction or suicidal or homicidal behavior. Call the office number for appointments, non-urgent matters and during business hours. If you cannot get a response from the emergency number in a timely fashion please go to the nearest emergency room.
Suicidal/Homicidal Behavior: There are recent studies showing an association between the use of antidepressant medications and increased incidence of suicidal behavior. This is low probability but possible. This usually occurs when the meds are initiated or changed. You are more likely to attempt suicide if your depression is untreated than if you take an antidepressant. Please maintain yourself or your family member in safety at all times. Do not hurt yourself or anyone else. Please call the doctor if you cannot maintain safety for yourself or your family member or go to the nearest emergency room. The first few weeks of treatment are the riskiest in terms of attempts at suicide. Adolescents are at a higher risk. Watch them carefully and secure all medications. We advise restricting access to all firearms, weapons, medications or anything that may be used to commit suicide or homicide. If you are having homicidal thoughts please take no aggressive, violent, hostile or homicidal actions against any group or individual and let your doctor know or go to the nearest hospital emergency department.
Firearm Safety: If you or anyone in your household is an owner of a firearm we advise properly storing them as per the legal requirements of the state you live in or federal regulations. If you or anyone in your home is suicidal, homicidal or unpredictable then having firearms in the home is ill advised and we suggest moving them ASAP from the household according to state law or federal regulations. We suggest obtaining appropriate legal counsel when dealing with laws surrounding the ownership, handling and transport of firearms. Please consult with your doctor if you believe this is an issue.
Marijuana
Marijuana is still illegal in New Jersey. Unless you have been medically approved for medicinal marijuana we advise against the use of it. Inhaling smoke is not good for you and there are intoxication syndromes and long-term effects of the use of this drug.
Threatening Behavior, and Politeness: Our staff is generally polite, please extend the same courtesy. Please respect the premises. This office is equipped with cameras and panic buttons. We take threats very seriously. The police will be contacted if staff feels threatened. We will file charges if assaulted or physically or verbally threatened. If you feel uncomfortable while waiting because of another client please let our staff know and we will remedy the situation.
Racism, Sexism or Prejudicial Behavior
This facility and the staff do not condone racism, sexism or any type of prejudicial behavior by anyone at any time. If you encounter any of these in our office please notify one of the doctors or staff who will address this quickly. If there is a problem with your doctor, another staff is available to address your concerns. Patients who act in a racist, sexist or prejudicial fashion that interferes with anyone’s treatment or the safe functioning of this office will be discharged from treatment.
Primary Gains, Secondary Gains and Discharge From Treatment
People who come here for treatment come for what’s called “Primary Gains”; they want help and they get help. People who come here for other reasons are here for what’s called “Secondary Gains”; they have a secret or hidden agenda. An example of secondary gains would be: looking to get medication to sell as a profit motive, or to trade for street drugs. This is cause for discharge. We only need to suspect that treatment medication is being sold or redirected in order to discharge someone; we do not need hard evidence, clinical suspicion is enough.
Working With Law Enforcement Undercover
We encourage following the law and maintaining good relationship with local law enforcement. Patients are often approached by law enforcement to take part in “a sting operation” or “set up” the doctor. Usually they do it to mitigate sentencing in some criminal activity they’ve been arrested for. The belief is this will eliminate or lessen their sentencing or the crime. Sometimes they’re threatened to do so. Patients are generally of free will and can do as they choose, however if in the process of working undercover the patient becomes: hostile, threatening, destructive, disruptive to the practice, destructive to the doctor, staff or the care of other patients they will be discharged. The patient working undercover may or may not be here for actual treatment (primary gains) but rather here for secondary gains such as mitigating sentencing against themselves or others (see above). We have the right to discharge anyone here for secondary gains and not for treatment. This is a treatment facility. You must be here for treatment. If you are arrested and or approached by law enforcement to work for them it is advisable you consider legal counsel and weigh your options.
Discharge
The doctor has the right to discharge the patient at any time. Patients who find themselves discharged are generally purposefully disruptive or violating the rules of this practice such as selling their medication. If discharged you will receive instructions about follow up, your records and emergency care. Some people feel being discharged is license to cause damage to the premises. It is not! It is advised to refrain from any destructive behavior and follow the law.

And waited her time
Her dad, The Director, glanced over at her
He had an uncanny knack of seeing right through

‘cause Bryce could direct as well as the lot
She was also super magical
With great super powers

But there were no rainbows today
Nor were there flowers
I found in her in etheric
Fully in costume
In the ether things are different
And I could not her recognize
But she was the most beautiful thing
I’d seen in the etheric
Though spectacularly beautiful
I was truly frightened
I’d never seen anything like her
A Female Demon enlightened

A Lady Demon From Hell
All shimmering inside
It’s time my love Eddie, it’s finally time
And the Battle began, The Battle of Bryce
And she cut and she tore with nails that were long

And then best of all she enjoined to invite me
Though generous in spirit, I had to demur

But I finally realized the time had come
As there would be no end to this man’s vengeance
The time had come to take stock in The Battle for Bryce

“His head did he separate,”
“From his shoulder to toes”
“I didn’t mean this as such”
“It’s just, six minutes I had not”
The Director kept cool
As he normally does
This was a time of heroics
And both loss and celebration
I tried to instruct him, Far and Wide
But he couldn’t listen and was planning great demise
“You’ve lost touch with the common man” I gently would say
“Go sell some shoes, and connect in that way”
He felt that was an insult
“So go sell some suits”
but connecting with the commoners
was not on his shelf
So ended The Battle of Bryce
The woman who courageously undertook
The end to the most dangerous warlords
And their nefarious plans
And a man who was chattel
To her bold plan
And followed her lead
Into the end
And the spoils were divided
“Ed how bout a million”
Said Arnold in
his Armenian accent
and checks that were written
long through the night
to reward those associated
with any aspect of this plight
Me I took nothing
but I asked for a star
though I still await her
she can’t be too far.
Happy Mother’s Day to all my family and friends, children and wives, mother’s and daughter’s, father’s and sons, grandmother’s and grandfather’s, grandchildren (probably) and everyone else.
Remember in a land of the lost only the beautiful will survive. See you there!
