“Good morning,” I said as I swept into the circulation desk
in the ER.
“Morning, Dr. Cullen,” Angela said as she gave me a bright
smile. “You lost the specs. Looking good there, Dr. C.”
“Thanks, Ang,” I snickered. “Who’s on today?”
“Me, Bella, Alice Brandon, you haven’t met her yet. She’s
newer and has been working nights,” Angela responded. “Jessica, Ben and Austin.”
“Have you done the shift change?”
“Yep. Bella and Alice are with their patients while the rest
are checking on labs and such,” Angela explained. “I’m just finishing up some
notes from Dr. Denali before I go to the drug locker.”
“Thanks, Ang,” I smiled.
“Oh, and thanks for the new harassment policy,” Angela said
as she walked away. “Lauren got written up and suspended yesterday for giving
Bella shit. Jessica is on her last ‘limb.’”
“What happened?” I asked. God, I sound like a gossipy old woman.
“Lauren was talking smack about Bella taking the day before
yesterday off because of her fall. She was spreading rumors that Bella gave you
head to get the time off and that Bella was a slut. Dr. Sanchez overheard her
and reminded both her and Lauren about the new policy. Lauren tried to play it
off that she was teasing but get this, Bella stood up for herself. I was so
proud. My baby girl is growing up! She typed out this dissertation on how
Jessica and Lauren tease and harass her, provide specific instances, witnesses
and dates. Lauren was written up and suspended for shoving Bella in the drug
locker the day her patient died.”
