BETTE- “In the ER- car wreck on the highway…”
MADELEINE- “What do you need?”
BETTE- “I think we’re doing everything we can…” (The patient, to whom Amertadi was administering medication, started seizing. Tina moves in and Bette holds the patient steady as Madeleine rushes to examine the patient’s eyes. The anxiety is growing. Bette looks at Madeleine, who is pretty much the senior doctor present, though a psychiatrist…) “A reaction?”
MADELEINE- “I don’t think so…you’d have a better idea than I would though…”
DR. KENNARD- “Her pressure’s dropping…” (Bette calls out directions and Amertadi and Nurse Betty react quickly…) “Bette she’s crashing…”
MADELEINE- (Calling out to the other nurses…) “Page Dr. Bailey NOW!!!” (The heartbeat of Jane Doe is now off the charts…)
BETTE- (Voice raised…) “Get the crash cart…” (They prepare to shock the woman in normal sinus rhythms…) “CLEAR”… (the first shock doesn’t work and they check her vitals quickly. Bette calls orders to adjust the electrical current and then she administers another shock…the beat flutters into an odd sound. The doors swing open and Bailey rushes in.)
BAILEY- “What do we got?!” (She rushes over and before Bette can say anything Tina is answering with a run-down of the pertinent medical information of the past ten minutes. Bette is listening to the patient’s heart as Madeleine watches Tina reporting information to Bailey as Bailey nods. The older doctor moves in and starts examining the patient. Amertadi is checking the readings on the ECG. Bailey looks up at Amertadi who instinctively knows what she’s asking and she nods, indicating a normal rhythm. Bailey looks around and her gaze fixes on Madeleine’s…)
MADELEINE- “It’s good…” (She nods and they all seem to relax and resume their usual pace.
BETTE- (Removing her stethoscope…) “Yes, she’s stable. Odd…she’s right back to normal, so quickly. She seized after the episode began…”
BAILEY- “I don’t like this…get her a CT Bette and let’s see what’s going on.”
BETTE- “Yes doctor.”
AMERTADI- “Doctors should we get an MRI instead?” (Bette looks at Amertadi almost as quickly as Dr. Bailey does…)
TINA- “Actually, that makes sense. She had a CT just a few days ago…we should play it safe…but of course I defer to you doctor…” (She looks at Dr. Bailey.)

Good to see an update Merlin! Bette is unbeleivable sometimes. ALthough I love Bette it served her right in being dismissed. She must not care all that much about Amertadi, which is too bad because I liked them toegther. As for Tina, I am in the minority with NOT wanting a reunion but would like to know more about their past realtionship. I hope you post real soon! lol
i want a REUNION :)
I really enjoyed this update, by page 7 I didn’t want it to end.
Hey there Merlin, I love your stories so, of course, I’m still reading. I almost feel sorry for Bette, self-absorbed as she is sometimes, seems like she’s about to get a tongue-lashing from all sides! Your author’s note left me thinking and brought to mind the saying that happiness is not getting what you want, but wanting what you already have. Take care.
Who’s a stranger? Maybe Bette won’t be in so much hot water with the boss with Amertadi giving her the kiss off. Is it permanent? Why shouldn’t it be with Dr. Kennard on the scene? You know it’s not that I don’t like the senior staff, it’s just I don’t much care for authority figures meddling in the private affairs of adults who are their professional juniors. Merlin, believe me, I know being alone is no picnic, but what many fail to realize that there ARE worse things. Like settling for less. Keep your chin and your standards up.
Great chapter Merlin! I think Bette just got dumped! Yeh!! Now maybe she & Tina can start to talk. PPS!!
This is why I prefer to just not date anyone from work. Well, not like I have that problem anyway seeing as I’m the only lesbian where I work. lol I’m with B&TF. I want a reunion! ;)
Glad that you are back. I have missed this story. I am glad that Emma has seen through Bette. Did Bette leave Tina or vise versa? Of course being a Tibetter at heart I will always want them together, no matter what. I too have been alone for many years, sometimes it is better and other times it drives me insane. Oh yeah I am already insane.
Ido believe that Emma just blew Bette off. Would like to know why the break up between Bette and Tina. Lets go with the flow of your story and get our Bette and Tina together but not soon as then the story would end. thanks
Merl, loving it as usual. The banter between Bette and Em was serious, and yet at one point, after Em keeps referencing their sexual encounters as “f*cking”, Bette finishes it for her. That caused me to chuckle. The story is brilliantly laid out and being developed. Thank you for sharing your creative mind with us, as well as taking the time to do shout outs. On a personal note, I hope that wherever you are in your life, you are able to find some belief that you are where you are meant to be “at this moment.” That doesn’t mean that it can’t change tomorrow, next week, next month, or next year. I truly believe we are all learning lessons in life with what we experience. Take care Merl, and always try to look for the positive, because believe it or not somewhere even in those darkest moments, there is a slice of it there. We just need to find it. ((((( HUGS )))))
Hey Merl, thanks for the update. Bette can be so self-absorbed sometimes. Amertadi is so right to get pissed off, and I can’t wait for Tina to put in her two cents worth and Bailey also. Sounds like Bette is about to get hit by a truck (lol). Maybe she should do a tour in psych. to learn behavior modification techniques. Don’t stay away too long!
I’m still reading…how could I not be? Your writing is too good to miss! Thanks!
What a tangled web you weave….and I’m thankful for that!!!
Glad to see an update from you Merlin. What a story. I wish Bette and Tina would get together at some point :-)
Hey Merl, Great to have you back with this exciting post. I love all of the shenanigans and messing around. Now more of Bette and Tina’s past needs to be revealed. Just lapping it all up. Thank you so much for returning and continuing this most excellent tale. Your Loyal Fan.
