“OK, her life certainly wasn’t easy,” said Tina dryly.
“When I was in my fourth year of medical school, Elle started having increased emotional issues. She wanted to reconnect with her mother. I decided I would try to help her build some kind of relationship with her and things seemed to be going OK for a while. Then Elle started becoming more moody and her grades started slipping. She was messing with my head, dating other people and I just took it. I was so ‘in love’, I just took it. I started to concentrate on helping her achieve her goal of becoming a nurse at the expense of my goal of becoming a doctor. I took a leave of absence during my final semester just to help her get through school and graduate. That’s when I found out her true psychological diagnosis; she has borderline personality disorder. I also found out that she was an incipient alcoholic and she was abusing both xanax and cocaine. Anyway, she got stoned on xanax and trazadone the night before her final semester midterm exam and when I woke her the next morning she was like a walking zombie. I got her to school and into her exam and she of course failed, she was still stoned. Suddenly it was my fault. She accused me of wanting her to fail. She said I could have called her off sick for the exam. I explained that my experience was you were either in the hospital or dead to call off from an exam and be allowed to still take it later. Her behavior became more erratic and eventually she just left. I was crushed. I didn’t care what happened to me because I felt I had lost everything that was important to me. I threw myself into my EMS work, taking extra shifts, working seven days a week, all as a way of escaping my pain. At least I was helping other people.”
“Yes Bette, you were helping other people, but at what expense,” asked Tina.
“Don’t you see how man people you could be helping if you had stayed the course and finished school. You could be treating patients, teaching paramedics, improving the system because you understand it first hand, so many things. Baby, I think you owe it to yourself to go back and finish what you started. If you don’t I’m afraid that ‘failure’ will haunt you for the rest of your life.”
“I don’t know T. It’s been like four years since I left school.”
“Babe, you completed almost all the coursework, the last semester is basically rotation through specialties. I’m sure you will get back into the groove without any problem. Besides, you have me as you personal tutor. What have you got to lose?”
“A lot of sleep when I start my residency program,” said Bette matter-of-factly.
“Bette, what ever happened to Elle?”
“I ran into one of her former classmates who told me she’s shacked up with some tennis pro. She said he is an alcoholic, but Elle seems happy.”
“He?”
“Oh yeah, one of her parting comments to me was that she wasn’t gay.”
“OK, I can see why you were hesitant to get into a relationship after that fiasco.”
“You mean until I met you, Dr. Kennard.”
“Exactly!”
“OK T, I told you everything. Can we go home now, I’d like some dessert please… from my future wife. You do remember you proposed and I accepted, right? Hey, you didn’t give me a ring.”
“I do remember and I thought it would mean more if we chose RINGS together, OK?”
“I like that idea. Now … what about my dessert?”
TBC…

Yes on with the dessert and btw I didn’t think that Bette was that close to become Dr. Porter….just writing that title gives me shivers, so hot :o)) This was very very short, more please. So great to have you back, take care…
BTW I agree with robbeedee – Bette can easily reamin as an excellent Paramedic, Tina will love her either way I’m sure. Bette is not a “failure” if she doesn’t go back to Med School in my book.
Medic, That was great. I can’t wait to read more. Thank you I love this story
Yay! Bring on the dessert! What a great story, more please
I sure hope that Doc Tina can get Bette to reconsider returning to school and becoming the doctor that she wanted to be. No wonder she could place lines in much better than the other EMS people. Tina and Bette truly belong together. Thanks for the post.
One word; GREAT
Good chapter. Bette should go back and finish her last semester and will became Dr. Poter, the sexy and hot Dr. that every patience would like to have. They will be Dr.Kennerd and Dr.Poter and hot couple!
I really like this couple. Bette should return to med school before she regrets not fulfilling her dreams.
I look forward to seeing Dr & Dr Kennard-Porter/Porter-Kennard.
Damn I didn’t think Bette would be that close to finishing. I figured she just dropped out after 2 years. And yes, on with dessert. ;)
what a story, and with tina’s help bette can easily become a doctor..on with dessert :)
Dessert is the best part of the meal! Dr.Porter, the lurve doctor! lol
Bette is like a child can I have my dessert now. She should try to go back and finish school tho. thanks
Oh i’m waiting for some desert please soon!!
dessert pls for poor gal t would so help her finish wht b started with med school :)
You have to LOVE Bette’s one track mind. A deal is a deal, so where is my desert LOL. What did the Fiore’s have for them in the office?
Betty is right LOL toddler Porter… Bette the dessert isn’t something suited for childen though o.O
Hello medic, what a sad and sorrowful story that was. Bette really has been through the realtionship wringer with Elle. Now, with Tina’s support, she needs to decide what she really wants to do. It could be return to Medical School and finish or remain as an excellent Paramedic. In either role she will help people. I personally think that a Paramedic is as worthy a profession as that of a physican. Tina loves her so will be there regardless of Bette’s choice. There is real love emitting from this glorious and gorgeous tale. Am now ready for my next installment. Thank you for all you hard work and effort in bring this delight to me to read and enjoy. Your Loyal Fan.
Great update and I really like these two together in this story. There does not seem to be the emotional riff with our original girls. Get Bette back to medical school and then they will be on even footing. Great story.
