El paciente del doctor Parker / The Patient
Un joven psiquiatra se hace cargo de un extraño y peligroso paciente que lleva más de veinte años ingresado en un sanatorio.
En una serie de posts en un foro de internet, Parker, un joven psiquiatra, relata su paso por un sanatorio mental y su experiencia con un paciente muy particular. Un hombre de entre treinta y cuarenta años que ingresó siendo solo un niño y que se ha convertido en el paciente más antiguo y peligroso del centro, sin diagnóstico conocido. Todos los que han tratado con él o han intentado curarlo han enloquecido o se han suicidado. Los responsables del centro han acabado por confinarlo y solo permiten que el personal del hospital se le acerque cuando es estrictamente necesario, convencidos de que su reinserción podría ser catastrófica. Parker se hace cargo del caso, pero muy pronto las cosas empiezan a escapar a su control y se verá obligado a poner en entredicho todo aquello en lo que creía.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
The Silent Patient by way of Stephen King: Parker, a young, overconfident psychiatrist new to his job at a mental asylum miscalculates catastrophically when he undertakes curing a mysterious and profoundly dangerous patient.
In a series of online posts, Parker H., a young psychiatrist, chronicles the harrowing account of his time working at a dreary mental hospital in New England. Through this internet message board, Parker hopes to communicate with the world his effort to cure one bewildering patient.
We learn, as Parker did on his first day at the hospital, of the facility’s most difficult, profoundly dangerous case—a forty-year-old man who was originally admitted to the hospital at age six. This patient has no known diagnosis. His symptoms seem to evolve over time. Every person who has attempted to treat him has been driven to madness or suicide.
Desperate and fearful, the hospital’s directors keep him strictly confined and allow minimal contact with staff for their own safety, convinced that releasing him would unleash catastrophe upon the outside world. Parker, brilliant and overconfident, takes it upon himself to discover what ails this patient and finally cure him. But from his first encounter with the mysterious patient, things spiral out of control and, facing a possibility beyond his wildest imaginings, Parker is forced to question everything he thought he knew.
Fans of Sarah Pinborough’s Behind Her Eyes and Paul Tremblay’s The Cabin at the End of the World will be riveted by Jasper DeWitt’s astonishing debut.
