Occupation | Tax inspector |
History | I look and feel quite low. My co-worker mentioned that my eyes look yellow and asked if I have been getting much sleep as I often arrive to work late. I am a lawyer but have not been working much as I have been fighting a huge legal battle over the last few years because my wife passed away following medical negligence. I cannot discuss it any further due to confidentiality. If asked directly, I am vague about the amount of alcohol I drink. If pressed, I admit drinking a bottle of red wine throughout the day and a few beers with my dinner. On the weekends I drink significantly more. I have got angry at my brother who has questioned me about my drinking but I recognise that I may be drinking too much. I have not noticed any changes to my urine or stool nor any other symptoms. If asked about my sexual history in a insensitive manner, I get very mad. |
