I felt comfortable enough at this point to tell him that I felt it was a mistake I was admitted to the ward. Expecting further resistance, I was shocked by his response. “I agree…” he said. “I don’t think there is anything wrong with you. You’re articulate, intelligent and you made a mistake. You slipped under an intense set of circumstances and voluntarily sought professional help. You don’t belong here.” I began to get emotional and was relieved that someone understood what I had been through. “I do have one question, Doc.” I said. “Why do people make the wrong choices? Where does that come from?” He smiled, and leaned over to unlocked a drawer in his desk and opened it. He pulled out a very old leather notebook. It was the personal notes of an unknown doctor, written in Latin over 200 years ago. While most notable doctors during that time, including Benjamin Rush, John Conolly and Phillip Pinel, focused on the diseases of the mind and philosophy, this unknown doctor made an extraordinary claim in his notes. 58
He wrote a group of words in what appeared to be an equation: vitae // corporis animo sensum It seemed as if the author theorized that vitae (life) is comprised of or equal to corporis, animo and sensum (body, mind and feeling) and seemed to implicate they were all connected. Dr. Montgomery explained to me the POWER OF CHOICE, to choose that which results in good consequences OR to choose that which results in bad consequences, comes from your mind AND body AND emotions. The doctor thought this was one of the first times the word sensum (or feeling) was used to describe a person’s emotions; which was another term that would be more commonly used to describe a person’s feelings by the early 19 th century. This equation fascinated me. It was so simple, yet it was a guide that seemed to explain much about our complex world. I didn’t understand it completely yet but my interest was piqued to learn more and perhaps I could use this to turn my life around. The doctor noticed I seemed to, now, have a purpose, a direction, a goal… a task. What he didn’t realize at the time was the value of the gift he had just given me. 59
