Show 89 but anonymous to the doctors as well. Faith is a safeguard. A release valve. She allows the patients to vent and, by doing so, she also protects the hospital. "They think I am going to sue them?" I am asking. I only want them to do their best by me. "Well, no, maybe not," she is saying. "But the nurses think you're getting a rough deal." I feel suddenly understood. We talk at length about why I am here, about what I think should be done and is not being done, about what I could be doing to riiake those things come about for me. We talk about doctors' egos and arrogance. We talk about teaching hospitals. When she leaves, she promises to return the next day and does. We talk more about my husband and my children. We talk about my being gone from them for so long. We talk about my anger about my being gone from them so long. We talk about the neglected protocol. We talk about the orange notebook and Victor's arrogance. We talk about Dr. Jessop's outburst. As she finally gets up to leave, she pauses and turns back. She is looking at me, wondering if she can say what she is about to say. "What?" I am asking. |
