yeah there were a lot of other possibilities
I thought Frank was in a mental hospital and he talked to himself...LOL!! Great Teaser it was a lot of fun and not 2 easy for me!
u said no telephones and that threw me way off
I was confused. I thought he just was a mentally ill person.
I thought he was talking to himself or someone the nurse couldn't see. Oh well better luck for me next time
LOL i thought that he was talkin to himself too but then i was like CELL PHONE DUHOYY!!! too easy SORRY
thought he was a psychopath, just had my psyc class.
The part where it says there is no phone in the office is misleading as he is on a cell phone, good job though. I liked it better than others.
its too easy!!!
I thought he had a multiple personality disorder and was talking to himself.
I thought of a cellphone, but I discarded it because no cellphones allowed in hospitals.
I thought he wzs just plain mentally ill. He was in a hospital wasn't he?
Who's 'he'? If 'he' was Frank then it's ok. But if it was the doctor, then he wouldn't be alone in the room! This teaser doesn't give enough info...
Just another case of sticking the answer right in front of you.t
NO TELE! I'm like ok....
