Chapter 13
Between Carmen’s proclamation and Dana diagnosis, I was entirely distracted as I was introduced to my new team for this month’s rotation. I barely could remember their names that day, but Sean was back with me. I was so happy to have someone familiar and who I was comfortable with. We had Mary McFarlane, a cute, petite, red-headed, 2nd year Family Medicine resident who was functioning as an intern in Internal Medicine. This is what Dylan talked about, how a family practice resident because of so many rotations never functioned higher than an intern on any service they covered. Mary was pretty cool and actually very bright. We often debated the Family Medicine versus Med-Peds argument. The last intern in the team was Anush Conjaveeram. Anush was brilliant, extremely handsome but a very modest intern. He was fairly traditional and unlike Sean who reveled in his good looks and used it to his advantage. Anush was shy about it. He was pretty traditional in his values and did not date. He was anticipating that his family would choose a wife for him. He left a string of broken hearts just because they didn’t stand a chance with him. He was incredibly sweet and one of my favorite interns to work with. I thought he and Jay, the “I’m the best, I want the best”, medical student, might have been an interesting hook-up but at the mere mention of Jay. He politely shook his head no.
Our senior resident was Tasha Williams, a serious, African-American national reservist who wore her military ties proudly and loudly. I had her pegged as homophobic at the start and wondered how we would get along for the month. I remember hearing her name when Tina dropped into Nick’s at the end of our rotation. She had covered on call with me a few times but we never interacted very much. She always had her hair pulled back in a tight bun, she hardly smiled and always stood or sat at attention. I found her very intimidating to say the least. I found myself answering her with ‘yes ma’am, no ma’am, or ‘Dr Williams’, but never Tasha. She was going to go fulltime in the military at Walter Reed Hospital once she was done with her residency. On the rare occasion that she laughed, it was loud and boisterous and you just couldn’t help but laugh along with her. But once the laughter was done, it was back to ‘yes ma’am, no ma’am’ for me. I heard she had a black belt in karate and was an expert markswoman. I felt if all else failed she could certainly get a job as a body guard or in the secret service. She was that aloof and intense.

I’m holding out for Tibette. After the recent scenes with Helena and Dylan I can’t imagine them with anyone but each other.
S I figured that Carmen really loved Helena but Helena was not ready and still in a relationship with Dylan. I say relationship cause IMO she was not as much in love with her as she was when she first arrived to California. I actually like the pairing of both Helena and Carmen and well since you being the writer I must go where you go,lol. No matter what I will read cause I really want to know where her heart really belongs too, Dylan,Carmen,Tina,Bette and who knows if anyone else will come into the picture, as long as it’s not with MAX,,,HAHAHAHA!!!
Patpez-Not only will it not be Max, but Max will not even make an appearance in this story.
Your writing is so confident which comes, I think, from having a complete understanding of the setting and the characters along with their relationships. Just outstanding.
I guess its true what they say, happiness is fleeting. It seems particularly true for these two. So the vulnerability expressed and shared led to a strained relationship and eventual withdrawal? Or was the realization of bad timing simply too great to overcome? I guess it will be revealed across the next several months. Thank goodness, a story without Max.
Nice update…hmm…the poor GI bleeder is still in the hospital and getting worse…waaa! Hmm…I’m thinking Helena and Carmen were getting too close for it to be casual…but both painfully knew that in this way..they couldn’t really go any further. This unfortunately doesn’t sound like an open door for Helena to ummm clear her plate and return heart, body and soul to Dylan… Dylan, in Helena’s mind has become somewhat like background noise…now that is truly sad…. So we know there is someone else “entering” Helena’s domain…NEXT!! Senior Resident Williams…keepin’ em scared, off balance and wielding a ten foot pole like no other. Will she stay around like Tina or be with us temporally..only through this rotation?
Ok, so this end to Carmen and Helena must signal thebeginning of Helena and Bette. Hip hip hooray!!!
Happy? Well, too brief and bittersweet to be exuberant about it, but you’re on the right track. Like I said, I have a dirty mind. But despite that, I appreciate the way you depict how relationships grow and fade along with the emotions involved. Now, how about having Helena hook up with somebody for some hot, reciprocal, hedonistic sex? Or hot, reciprocal, deeply committed sex? I think you know what I mean. And leave Henry out of it!
I bet you thought I had abandoned ship didnt you Squirl? Lmao I’ve been here trying to catch up. Helena has alot to deal with and so does Carmen. Although Carmen is not in a fully pledged relationship she is still seeing Shane on and off so that is an entanglement in itself. Then Helena is having this secret life away from Dylan, and yes it must be hard to want to feel somebody there…but she needs to be honest, are her and Dylan working out. In this time apart things have changed dramatically they are not the same people they once were when they started their internships. I do think deep down that Helena’s heart has in a way always kind of belonged to Carmen, but I know she loves Dylan maybe it’s just in a different way. PPVS
Hey Squirl, or is it “Spider” cause your sure weaving a tangled web. Looks like Helena is growning into herself, Carmen represents days gone by and comfort, Dylan represents what might have been if they were more mature and further along in their lives or relationship so it seems like Helens is going to go through some growning pains but will end up just taking steps forward but is sorting out her needs along the way, as it should be, hehehe IMO. Oh yes hindsight is a beautiful thing. Squirl you have spoiled us with these regular updates but I guess all good things slow down sometimes. Good luck w/ back to work, hope your feeling up to it. I’ll be looking forward to the next post. Thank you, Md aka Oma
Helena has reached a point in her life, where things are not as simple as she once thought. Life has no promises.
That’s sad. I really liked the idea of Helena and Carmen, but I also like the idea of Helena with Dylan, Bette or Tina. I’m fickle! PPS!!
