I was thoroughly whipped in the morning during rounds. I was reminded of that old adage, “no good deed goes unpunished”. I had no regrets though, on morning rounds Dana looked just as bad as I did. I suspect she was up all night crying over her suspected diagnosis. Janice envied my night and wished she was the one who experienced the night of all the textbook cases. Not surprisingly, Alice was in the CCU early to assist in the social service needs. I had to keep approaching her to remind her it was my patients, not Dana’s that needed assistance. I was a little lenient with her under the circumstances. I was sure she was stressed about Dana’s potential diagnosis. Neither was out about their relationship but anyone who observed them for any period of time, could see that they were together.
Alice was reviewing my cocaine abuser with me and the anticipated plans for outpatient treatment programs. She was more ditzy and scattered that her usual ditzy and scattered. She was easily distracted and after awhile I asked, “Do you want to talk about it?”
She asked, “Talk about what?”
I took a leap of faith, “Dana.”
It was like a dam had broken. She began to cry with heaving shoulders. I thought, “Fuck, I seem to have the effect on women. Why do they all cry?” I handed her a box of tissues, which she went through in a minute. I put my arm around her to consoled her. “Keep positive thoughts, everything will be all right.”
She nodded her head, “Thanks. She told me about it last night. She just shut down on me. She won’t talk about it. I can’t ask her questions. She just gets angry and pushes me away. Her doctor called last night and wants her to get a biopsy. They’ve made arrangement for tomorrow afternoon. She doesn’t want to tell anyone. She needs time off but she won’t ask.”
Yes, time off, the bane of an intern’s experience. You don’t want to take time off because it means someone has to absorb your workload. This then causes a silent but sometimes palpable resentment. So since you don’t want other’s work dumped on you, you don’t want to dump your work on someone else. You show up sick, runny nose, low grade fever, diarrhea. There were no excuses to not get to work. You just take the pill and keep on trucking. But Dana needed the time off. This was important and life changing business. If she did have lymphoma then that was an entirely different problem. I began to worry about what that would do to our schedule. Where do they pull the other intern? Fuck, I can’t take anymore call than I already was.

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)!!!
