“Maybe that’s what it is, cat scratch disease. He’s just a resident, he doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Why don’t we wait for the final reading?” I could see she wasn’t buying it. I tried to reassure her, “Dana, please don’t get yourself worked up, it might be nothing.”
She wiped her tears and nodded. “Please don’t tell anyone.”
I promised, “I won’t. That’s for you to tell.”
We went back to the CCU. It was supposed to be Dana’s night to take call but she was visibly shaken and she was no way able to take call. I switched with her and assured her everything would be okay. I did have dinner plans with Carmen that I had to call to cancel. I couldn’t get into details why the switch on such short notice but she was understanding. She didn’t admit it but I could hear the disappointment in her voice. With my usual every third night call, it was beginning to be difficult managing study, sleep, phone contact with Dylan and stress management with Carmen. With my crazy schedule and fatigue, I almost slipped a few times calling by Dylan, ‘Carmen’. I did slip with Carmen at times. Initially it was not too bad for me to slip with Carmen, but after a few bitten lips I got the strong sense Carmen did not like it. As she explained after one gentle bite, “I am the one fucking you. It would be nice if you remembered my name.”
I couldn’t argue her point. My slightly swollen lip was a reminder. Phew, it was tough juggling my schedule. I needed a break for just me. Sleep was a commodity I longed for. I actually looked forward to this night on call. I knew if it was my typical CCU night, I would get, maybe 5-6 hours of sleep, and lately that was a treat. Dinner at Carmen’s that month usually meant very little sleep. We both had a lot of stress we needed to work though.
The night started fairly quiet. I was in my call room talking to Dylan, well kind of talking, more like mutual self-exploration and moaning, when I got a STAT page to the CCU. One of the already admitted patients was complaining of worsening chest pain and shortness of breath. I ordered another ECG and made my way out to the unit. I tried to interpret the ECG but it was a bit non-specific. I paged my senior resident, Henry, who after 5 minutes finally answered. I asked, “Where are you? I need you to look at this ECG. It’s not straight forward. This guy is really uncomfortable. Can you come to the unit?”

Red Alert on Skype, Squirl just posted, end message
Noooo not Dana…please Squirl, tell us that we will not have to say goodbye to her again! Please tell me that this is straight forward…completely curable and is not a case fit for the craziness of Dr. House! This day at Drama Central was definitely action packed…and Dr. Peabody seems to be settling into the complication that is her life…of course it would be extremely ugly for her to use the wrong name with Dylan….and now when are they gonna have that little heart to heart? Tomorrow? lol! Oohh, Tina is seems to be quite competent but a little predatory and omnivorous andddd Carmen just uttered the L word…oui! Alright,here we go! PPS
Shame on Henry not catching the tamponade because of restricted blood flow to his brain. Or something. When it came to PEA, he was a pea-brain. Good thing Blondie had her wits about her. Naughty residents! (Know anybody back here to help me get hired?)I’m glad YOUR Dana had the sense to seek medical attention.
Ooh, remind me not to piss Carmen off. She bites when she gets angry.
Oohhh…wow…fantastic inclusion of Dana’s illness in the story, Squirl. The portrayal is certainly accurate. Helena seems to be overly generous of her time these days — I wonder how that will end up affecting her performance as a resident. I was shocked to learn about her name confusion — I probably would have done a little bit more than bite her lip if I were in Carmen’s shoes. So Carmen was the first to state her love; I’m expecting Helena to be in a lot of emotional pain in the upcoming chapters as she realizes that Carmen isn’t just a friend for her either. Helena is really on a rollercoaster ride. I’m so lovin’ Tina’s flirting with Helena — and Henry has got to go — not only did he leave his woman unsatisfied, he botched the diagnosis! Ewwww….
S once again an excellent chapter, going to Dana first because how could you let her get sick,,,,LOL I see that Helena’s heart is changing about Dylan as is her thought’s IMO. Very good chapter S!
Awesome chapter. If I were that heart patient that almost died because my dr. was off screwing behind closed doors and didn’t want to take the time to see me, I would be pissed beyond words. At least he had Helena on his side trying to figure out the problem. I love sexy, flirty, Tina. Carmen’s in love, love with Helena, I think. What it must be like to have all these beautiful women falling at your feet. Sigh! And I would really hate to see Dana die, again. PPS!!
Oh no….please don’t let anything happen to Dana…not again…whoa…H and C are heating up ‘eh…cute…but you know this should be a BeLena…okay…can we agree (big smile)!!!
