Description
A 40-something lawyer--we'll call him Gene--recalls the enforced 20-day hospitalization following the first of his several suicide attempts. His wife is divorcing him and his children are afraid of him. His clandestine mistress of five years, who's just left him and made him want to kill himself in the first place, shows up at his bedside every few days to waffle about taking him back. The paralegal working in Gene's solo-practice office periodically brings a stack of blank checks for him to sign; he thinks she's a lifesaver for keeping the place afloat in his absence. He later finds out she's bilked him out of more than $90,000 and left him in the wake of eight Bar ethics complaints, staring down a $2 million malpractice lawsuit. Too bad the malpractice insurance company had cancelled his insurance for failure to pay the premiums.
