A Depressed Fish Named Doris

This week on Godplayer (by Robin Cook…incase you’ve forgotten…), still nothing happened. Honestly, the other medical thrillers started with more action and sustained that action throughout the rest of the book. They were like a perpetual adrenaline rush. Anyhow, we got a special insight to Cassi’s diabetes and how her insulin injections had become a focus of her life. Now days, however, she doesn’t mind. Though she’s still a little self conscious, she still feels as though her disease is a part of her and should be monitored by her system of doing things. flashback…at the prom in high school, Cassi was asked out by the most popular guy in school but didn’t go because her parents thought she was getting sloppy with her treatment. Ever since then, she’s made it a point to keep up with it.
Then, after a trip down memory lane, Cassi goes to get Dr. Kingsley, her husband in his office. While there, we encounter Thomas’ crabby receptionist, Doris, which is funny because I personally have a depressed fish named Doris. Cassi couldn’t help but wonder why Thomas had kept Doris around all these years if she was always in such a bad mood…do I smell drama? Affair? Thomas then emerges from his office after convincing a patient to get surgery, a strong ability of Thomas’ that Cassi admires…his toned body helps a little too. The couple then walk to the ICU for Dr. Kingsley’s final check on his patients, but being in a room with so many machines and few patients reawakens Cassi’s reservations of her upcoming eye surgery. Thomas’ seriousness is still engraved into his face as the two leave the hospital…
YAY!
