After everyone left, Lu started to think about her condition, she knew that it was serious, but not something that should or could ruin her life if she took the medication she would be fine. She couldn't believe that she had epilepsy, she thought of all the patients she had diagnosed with this condition. Now she was a patient herself. Lu was completely disgusted with having to sit in a hospital bed day after day and listen to other's doctor's directions. She hated following their orders, she also didn't like depending on medication for a condition. She knew that if she didn't take the meds then she would have seizures, so she thought about it some more, and decided that she had to take the meds whether she liked it or not. Just then Lana came through the E.R doors. "Hey baby girl how are ya"? She asked Lu, as she put a bouquet of flowers near Lu's bed. "I'm um okay I guess" "Oh that's good to hear, look Lu Dana told me about your condition" "Ohh and I suppose that she also told you to be concerned about Mr. Right too." Lu sarcastically added. "Now don't get smart with me, I'm just trying to help. Do you think I don't know how you act when you are sick? Lana knows you Lu; she knows you don't want to be cooped up at this hospital, listening to Dr. Stowe's bark orders at you and having test after test after test. You like giving the orders and giving the tests. Lana knows and she thought you might want to talk to someone who understands a little. Dana is so worried about you and she wants us to watch out for you, you might hurt herself that next time you have a seizure it's for your own safety and well being all of us here care about you Lu and we are only trying to help to get well and back to work sooner rather than later." Lana said as she took a deep breath. "Yea well I don't need Lana I'm okay so just please leave I want to alone right now okay." "Okay Lu whatever you say I'll see you later and Lana walked out of the E.R.
"Lu, we are going to move you to your room now." Dana told her as she walked up to Lu's bed. "Nurse, Nurse, could you please help me move Dr. Delgado to her room." Dana asked a nearby nurse. "Of course Dr. Stowe." The nurse replied. Lu looked agitated, but agreed to be moved. She thought it was nice to have a private room, a suite in fact, because of her status as a co-head of RWHC. Lu had finally fallen asleep, when she woke up in a cold sweat, and stood up in her bed. She pressed her page button, and Dana quickly appeared. "What's wrong Lu?" "Dana, Dana, has somebody called Marc?" Dana reassured her that someone had told him and that his Dad picked him up last night and he would be by today after school. "Oh thank god." Lu replied. "When can I leave this place?" "I'm not sure Lu, I think we should leave it up to Dr. Mendel." "But Dana, what about the clinic?" "I will try to see as many as your patients as I can, but I can't promise anything. If there are any emergencies I will send them up to ER. Lu you should be relaxing and if possible sleeping. We are going to start you on your anti-convulsions meds really soon. I'm going to leave now, if you need anything, please page me." Dana waited for a response but she saw that Lu had drifted of to sleep. "That's good, that's what she needs." Dana muttered.
Dana returned to Lu's room and saw that she was peacefully sleeping. But then Dana thought that she might be having a flashback from the rape, because she suddenly was tossing and turning and muttering things. But she couldn't be too sure, just then she was paged to the Maternity ward. Dana rushed off to answer the page forgetting all about Lu.
Back in Lu's room, Lu started crying out. "No, NO I SAID NO, PLEASE STOP GET OFF OF ME YOU BASTARD, GET OFF, I SAID NO! STOP! STOP!" Lu continued to cry out and toss and turn violently around. A nurse heard her cries and came and gave her something in her IV to calm her down. She also thought she had better page Dr. Stowe and tell her what had happened. She dialed Dana's pager number and paged her to come to Lu's room. Dana rushed in, "nurse what's wrong?" "Dr. Delgado had a flashback." The nurse told her. "I gave her something to calm her down for a minute. I think she is awake though now." Dana walked to Lu's bed. "Lu, it's Dana, are you awake?" Lu spoke softly. "Yes." "Lu, it's ok, you are safe here, you can relax, and no one can hurt you." "I can't calm down Dana, it's just that I keep seeing him, hearing his disgusting voice, I just can't get over it." "I know Lu, that's why I think I want to give you something to help you sleep, and it will send you into a deep sleep so you can't have bad dreams or flashbacks." "Dana, I don't want any sleeping sedative or anything." "Lu, it's only something mild and I really want you to rest, you don't get nearly enough, at your home, or at the hospital. Please Lu let me help you." "Oh fine." Dana gave Lu the medication. She finally became calm and quiet again. Dana wanted to stay with Lu, but she knew her schedule wouldn't permit it. As she was leaving, something told her to stay with Lu and not leave her side, so she did and kept a close watch on her.
