Three new patients, and one a familiar face, found their way into the Emergency Room lat Thursday and we checked in with one from two weeks ago. We were also treated to plenty of drama between the doctors, nurses, and staff of Port Charles' favorite hospital.
Having been seduced by Dr. Kelly Lee last week, Pablo tried once again for a repeat with the gynecologist, but she had just awakened from a rather disturbing dream involving a sketchy mixture of passion and violence with a masked partner or assailant. Just as she finishes rebuffing Pablo, another of her past conquests, Dr. Andy Archer, rounds the corner to also be met with her anger.
Later Dr. Ford called Pablo into his office with the news that he was being fired because of numerous complaints from the hospital staff. Angry, he asserted it must be Dr. Lee retaliating because he refused to sleep with her and threatened a sexual harassment suite. Dr. Ford informed Dr. Lee this could be the final straw that delivers GH to the HMO.
In the early episodes, I wasn't quite sure what to make of Kelly's habitual bed jumping, or shower jumping as the case may be. I couldn't decipher if she was trying to combat an emotional isolation with physical companionship or if she was battling some type of addiction to either the sex or the thrill of possibly being caught. With this new turn of events, the dream, I wonder if we aren't going to discover Dr. Lee is trying to cope with an abusive past. However it turns out, we should be seeing some real progression with this soon now that Robin is suspicious and Dr. Ford and Miss Sneed are in the know.
Dr. Archer had a patient who insisted he had REM sleep disorder – he looked it up on the Internet. His wife's complaint was he would walk in his sleep and crawl in bed with beautiful women. Believing the patient was just scamming his wife, Dr. Archer suggested hooking him up to monitors and observing him. Twice, the patient 'sleepwalked,' once crawling in a bed with a horrified Layla and later with Epiphany who took matters into her own hands, blackening his eye. Convinced his patient had a real sleep disorder, he referred him to a clinic specializing in such things. By the way the man's eyes followed Regina as he and his wife were leaving the hospital, I suspect Dr. Archer's first diagnosis was the right one.
