Reading this certainly brought back memories of an old classic, ELEVEN BLUE MEN by Berton Roueché. Your piece inspired me to find an online version…

I’ve never heard of muscle relaxants being used as a treatment. I can imagine that benzodiazepines like Valium might work, but more for their psychological effects than the physical ones.
If her problem is indeed caused by overly-sensitive nerves, then trigger point injection might work. Her issues seemed much more psychological to me, though, so I suspect Pete’s therapy did the most good.

“I find it hard to believe that a parent who chose to stay at home to raise her kids is not going to notice her four kids regularly disappearing from the yard like that?”

You are on, what, child number one? Trust me, by child number two, you trust them too much, making up for the paranoia of the first. And by the third, you are all to happy to get them out of the house for a few moments, even if it does involve ammonium nitrate.

“A day or so later, the wife confronts Violet and she once again begins bleeding.”

Too bad it is ABC, and we will never see the “Heroesw”/”Private Practice” cross over. (Of course, she would just get eaten by Sylar…)
