   Summary

   Dennis Whitaker stumbles onto Dr. Jack Abbot having a panic attack on the hospital roof and helps him through it.

   After that, Abbot can’t stop noticing things.
   How tired Dennis looks.
   How often he skips meals.
   How he never seems to go home.

   So Abbot comes up with a plan: offer Dennis a highly exclusive position as his in-house research assistant in an effort to help Dennis get back on his feet. Strictly for therapeutic reasons, of course.

   (Not therapist approved.)
