Air Supply, Chapter 7
“It’s a high dose doctor…” Tina gets gusty even though she’s not sure.
“No it’s NOT! Not under these circumstances. And do you really think that Dr. Schmidt and I, the respective chiefs of psychiatry and internal medicine would have made any medical decisions without careful review of the facts and condition of the patient?”
“No, no of course not doctor,” replies Tina.
“No? Really? But yet you stand here and basically tell me I know didly and that we prescribed the wrong dosage…Madeleine and I…you want to stick with that story?”
“But doctor, Madeleine…Dr. Schmidt…”
“NO…NO…NO…enough.” She stands.
Bette jumps in to explain things to Tina, “See when there’s neurological trauma…”
“EXCUSE ME…did I ask for your input Dr. Porter?” asks Dr. Bassey, rather annoyed.
“No, no ma’am…”
“Dr. Porter, for your information Dr. Kennard is correct about the drug and its dose, but in this case we decided an exception was in order and that following the Xentalin course of treatment would be preferred…and you know that has nothing to do with the neurological issues but rather her blood work. Right Dr. Kennard?”
“Well, yes, yes doctor, the hematological issues are key, but the dose is still contraindicated given…”
“Right…that’s right, but…”
Tina jumps in again, “The Xentalin course is the only viable alternative if…oh fuck…” Tina stops herself… “sorry doctor…I can’t believe I missed it…she’s allergic to the substitute course of treatment…”
“EXACTLY!”
“Allergic?” asks Bette, “I didn’t see any test results…”
Dr. Bassey addresses Bette, “YOU DIDN’T DID YOU!”
“Doctor I’m sorry but I…”
“What? You What????”
“I’m afraid I didn’t…”
Bassey gives her a look and then smiles, “Oh relax!”
“Sorry?”
Tina then explains to Bette, “The test was done as a precaution yesterday…you weren’t on call, so you couldn’t have known.” Bette then looks at Bassey.
“So Dr. Bassey…I’m sorry, but I don’t understand…why are you angry? I mean I just came in this morning and we were just about to look at the chart when Dr. Kennard…”
“Dr. Kennard was perhaps overly concerned about her patient, and just maybe she should be more concerned with the mental health issues, but there’s nothing wrong with her asking. What concerns me is that you two were behaving like jackasses instead of professionals. What the hell was that in there?”

Boring B&T is better than no B&T, my friend. ;)
Well that was an interesting blowout. LOL I keep waiting for Bailey (or is it Bassey? O.o) to look at Bette and say, “Are ya dumb?”
Thanks Lamentamini! I can’t believe I had been inserting Bailey for Bassey! Someone had commented about it and it just stuck! So…we’re back to Bassey…:)
So tina is still having feelings for Bette again, I wonder what Bette is going to do w/that information…Tks T
i love this and i hope yu’l finish it but also remember “lost and found” yu have to cont. with it ok??
Loved the update, better & better…and its your longest one yet. You seem to be on a role and I love it…
E gads! Bette’s in hot water. I’m still hoping she & Tina will get back together.
OOO, can’t wait for the shit to hit the fan. Can you perhaps gives a glimpse of what happened when Bette and Schmidt almost came to blows? That sounds like it was pretty intense! Post soon! P.S-Don’t worry about the long post because I am sure we all love them! The longer the better, trust me!
Wow. This is all so intricate. I keep hunting for clues that Jane Doe has some special part in all of this. Great chapter. Thanks.
Dang that was good!!! Thanks!
Hey Merlin, What’s with the apology for the long post?? That’s just a positive for me… ten pages and I’m still wanting more. Seems the next chapter may provide Bette the poo sandwich she’s due, though Emma and Bassey gave her a nice appetizer. Sorry to hear about the hair… you didn’t show him a picture of Shane, did you?? Love the post.
Greetings and salutions to you, Merlin, Thank you so much for another fine chapter. I love the mix of characters in this tall tale. Good to see Bette being honest with Emma but then the fight with Tina showed that there was still a spark there. I am a diehard TIBetter and hope that these gals can rekindle their relationship here. Bette is simply playing the field until she realizes that she wants Tina and to get there relationship another try. I think that Emma’s desire to love Bette might just push her away. Good to see Bassey giving the gals a proper telling off for their ill-advised discussion. It did seem petty. Can’t wait to see wher you will lead me to but please but rest assured that I am in it for the long haul. Thank you so much for sharing this splendid story with me. Your Loyal Fan.
Tina is not blind nor deaf, Hospitals are a field of gossip. Bette should know better to date some that Tina is her boss. Put the shoe on the other foot,how would bette feel???? thanks for posting
I get the feeling that there is way more to Tina’s feelings towards Bette than Bette has towards Tina. I can’t wait to read what happens to Bette when she realizes that Tina does suspect and what the head of the department will do when she gets wind of this. I agree with Lamentamini, a boring B&T is better than no B&T. Besides I love boring, because boring can lead to a lot of free play (between B&T).
Hey Merlin,I just caught up on the last 2 chapters and wow. Something tells me that Ms Jane Doe will hold the key to getting our girls together.How can bette be so stupid and think that tina doesn’t know and that it wouldn’t bother her????????????? Tina knows that she is still in love with bette and bette knows that she is still in love with tina, otherwise she wouldn’t be sleeping with most of the female staff!!!!I look forward to the next chapter.
Does the hospital have a written policy about staff fraternizing? If not I still think Bassey and Schmidt should butt out unless they want to intervene as friends and mentors rather than bosses. Maybe Bette cruising the hospital hallways isn’t the most politic thing for her to do, but at the same time her playmates would have known what they were getting involved with. Tina needs to figure out what she realy feels. I can understand her confiding in Shane and I can understand Shane supporting her, but I was surprised to react in such an authoritarian manner.
Merl, Bette cannot be that dumb and blind. Tina doesn’t know (lol). I’m with Bassey on this one, just sit back and watch the sh*t hit the fan. This BAT triangle is so entertaining, although I feel sorry that poor Amertadi is way over her head with Bette. Either I’m not fully awake, or it’s getting a little confusing with all these BB&MM names(Bassey, Betty, Madeleine, Melinda). Thanks for the update.
He hee. Loved this. Was fun! So then lets see Bette hit the fan ;-)
