I hoped he would think long and hard about any other homophobic opinions he had but he seemed genuinely remorseful over the incident. I sent him off to talk with Alice to see if we could get help for this family to be at peace with the inevitable. Stan surprised me and really went above and beyond in trying to help Joshua and his mother. An even bigger surprise was that we got them to agree to hospice. They were discharged home with hospice to follow. I got news from Alice that he died at home, a week later, with family at his bedside. When I told Stan he smiled and nodded his head. A tear escaped from his eyes as he said, “That was the right thing. I hope he was comfortable. He deserved that.”
I surprised myself when I reached out and hugged him. I agreed, “Yes, he deserved to die with dignity. Hopefully his mom will get the support she needs for her loss and her guilt.”
I was told by Tina that Stan took the day off to go to Joshua’s funeral. He never made any other ignorant statements about gay people, well not in front of me. He actually took care of another HIV positive patient who was gay. He did well, was on top of his care and developed a nice relationship with the patient and his partnet. Stan Z-man learned a few things after all.
Near the end of my month-long rotation, I agreed to have dinner with my mother. I was sure she was probably aware of my performance and had expected a “don’t disappoint the family” talk. She was chairperson of the board of the hospital and was anxious to hear how things were going from my perspective. I would meet her in the Beverly Hills Country Club for dinner. Although I dreaded the meeting, dinner there would a refreshing change from the hospital food, fast food or frozen dinners I had become accustomed to over the past three weeks.
It also allowed me an excuse to go shopping on Rodeo drive for a new Armani dress. I already had lots of options to wear, but with the month I was having, I needed a pick me up dress. I bought the cutest little black dress they had. It clung to my curves, and showed just the right amount of cleavage. After wearing casual clothes and scrubs I needed to indulge myself. I dreaded dinner with my mother but it gave me a reason to indulge myself. I needed to feel sexy again.

I actually felt sorry for Stan. Being fed ignorance from the time he was born never gave him a chance but it’s his responsibility to educate himself and learn for his own experiences. I felt he did just that with his rounds with Helena. Hopefully when Stan go back to Bette some of his new humanity will rub off on her. So far the only person I heard Helena say she loathed was Bette, Stan and Kroll. I can cross off Stan he’s a man and Kroll well some how I don’t think she Helena’s type. Will the two heart breaks be Dylan and Carmen and then that will leave our lovely lady all to Bette. Thanks for the clarification on Bette’s field it made sense. I guess that’s why the pyschologist on Law&Order:SVU had some knowledge of IM.
Geezzzzzzz, Squirly you got my head spinning. I liked Helena in alpha mode, she can be insecure but when her passions kick up WATCH OUT. The way StanZman ate crow was probaby the most important lesson in his young life so far. Good for him getting it the first time. I’m also thinking Dr. PK is riding Helena becasue she wants her to be the best. Bette, well Betts just doing her thing, cant’t wait to see whre that goes. I’ll try to be a good girl till Saturday a.m. when you post my St. Valentines Day present. Thank you, Md, aka Oma
I really loved this chapter, Squirl! It was Helena at her best – bossy but with a compassionate twist. She seems to have figured out the politics of her internship year. I wonder what’s up with Kroll and why she’s favoring the Bette-ster. Although you have told us that Bette is straight, I’m thinking that may not be so true. Perhaps her and Tina have something starting? Maybe she’s just in the closet. I know Helena’s going to cheat on Dylan with Carmen but could you reconsider Bette? Maybe Bette gets drunk one evening and she finds out from Stan that Helena’s gay and one thing leads to another. I meant to type RILF in my last comment (resident I’d love to f***) in a similar vain to the well-known MILF. Can’t wait for Moma’s post on Saturday!
Apologies for the blanket comment regarding neurosurgeons, I think we experienced one who was all nuts and bolts..str8 with no chaser…lacking humanistic flare…but he warmed up over time :) At any rate, loved the update! You definitely really get a sense of the physical and emotional challenge of the profession…the training…and of the families you care for…This is definitely going to be interesting. With Jenny the libidio squelcher and Al the caring, quirky social worker, drama will be par for the course and I suspect everyone will continue to learn more about themselves and what they are made of…I definitely want to believe that the hazing the residents are getting is because it is truly life or death…favoritism is unfortunately a part of human nature. Besides, even here….no one is immune from Bette’s charm…even those who loathe her! PPS
Heya there S, you whisphered too low for me to understand who Helena was going to end up with ,,,lol…but oh well I’ll have to just keep on reading huh..haha! Well it was good to see that Stan actually changed some and let’s hope for the better. As for Kroll I am thinking that she want’s Helena to be the best and see’s much potoential in her that is why she is always asking the hard questions. good chappy S!!!!
That was a really good update…that Jenny – you gotta love her…loved H’s interaction with stan, very thoughtfully done!! Cheers
Well written Squirl. I think that experience for Stan was long overdue. I’m from the West Indies myself & sadly many of my brethren think exactly as he did. Anxiously waiting for the next chapter. Cheers mate, PPS!
at least some other type of ignorance has been lifted in this constant learning timestable
It was about this time last night that I was on the first page when the electricity went off for the 3rd time and stayed off. Bit windy. Take 2. Hmmmm…yes I know quite a few folks from the Caribbean. They tend to be very sweet, and the black folk do tend to be extremely homophobic none the less. I’m glad Stan learned better and did so quickly. Joshua must have been a fighter to survive both the hemophilia and 20 years of AIDS. Poor Joshua’s mom, even if it wasn’t all her fault she MUST have felt terribly guilty to lose all her sons. My brother lost so many friends. I hope none of them had to deal with judgmental staff, there really is no room for that sort of thing in medicine.
Wait! Dinner with Mom is the time to feel sexy again?
