I felt incredibly alone as I laid there but I knew Dana probably felt far lonelier. I couldn’t this was happening. I don’t know why I thought people my age wouldn’t get life threatening diseases but here it was again, first Carmen’s patient and now Dana. Illness and potential death became so personal and real to me. This was my good friend. Somehow despite it being a private matter, within hours it had spread around the medical staff, and it was the talk of the hospital. Some people were selfishly worried, like my initial response, about how it would affect their schedules on the rotations they shared with Dana. Others were genuinely concerned for Dana. Carmen called me to see how I was doing. She knew I had become close to Dana. I told her where I was and she came to my call room.
She barely knew Dana but still she felt connected since we were all in the same internship boat. She stayed with me overnight on the twin bed that was in the CCU’s intern call room. As always it felt good to have her hold me. I cried quietly at times and she stroked my hair and rubbed my back. She sung a Spanish lullaby that her mother sung to her whenever she was upset. I drifted off to sleep in her arms. The gods must have been happy with me that night. My pager never went off once. I woke the next morning, physically rested but still emotionally drained. I hadn’t prepared to spend the night so I had no change of clothing. We showered and changed into scrubs to start our new rotations. I teased Carmen that she had a new tradition now. She would spend the night with me on the end of each rotation and start the day in scrubs. She laughed and gave me a big hug. We stared at each other for awhile and hugged again. As I held her I said, “Thank you.”
She kissed me softly on the cheek and whispered, “I love you.”
Before I could respond she walked out the door to her new rotation in the CCU. I remained stunned, afraid and uncertain about just what exactly she meant. Was it, I love you my friend. I love you in a global sense, or possibly, I love you passionately? I wouldn’t be able to get the answer to my question until later that day. All day I thought about what she said and what this meant for us. At least it gave me something else to think about other than Dana’s diagnosis.

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)!!!
