I left Phoenix profoundly changed. My time with Dr. Wilson taught me what true undying love and devotion was. Even after 25 years, he still longed for Sarah, loved her, and hoped for an eventual reunion. It was a depth of love I had never experience. Yes, I loved Steve and adored him. He was certainly perfect for me. I had pursued him and was able to capture his affections, but would I have waited 25 years for him? Wow, what an incredible thing I had witnessed.
Steve picked me up at the airport and looked at me and pushed his bottom lip out as if he were incredibly sad. I asked him what he was sad about. He said that he waited all month for a sexy text message and did not receive any. He said he knew I would be fucking someone and yet I did not share it with him. He was concerned that I had found someone that I truly desired and did not want to share with him. I apologized and told him it was nothing like that.
As we drove home, I told him Dr. Wilsons story. How he lover Sarah and how I reminded him of her. I told Steve that on my last night, he had given me a necklace he had purchased for her. I was touched and so moved, I wanted to return the favor and be his "Sarah" for the night. Steve was speechless. I told him that Dr. Wilson made love to me, softly, slowly and with such respect. It had not been sex. It was slow passionate love. I told Steve that when he looked at me, I could see in his eyes, I was Sarah. He was finally with the woman he missed so much. Steve just said, wow, and told me how proud he was of me. He had expected wild kinky sex while I was away and instead, I had given an amazing man a huge gift. When we got home, I made love to Steve exactly as I had to Dr. Wilson. It was beautiful.
I spent a long week reflecting on my research thus far, my sexual encounters and Dr. Wilson. My next stop was San Francisco, and I knew that it would be extremely different that my other locations. San Francisco was known for its openness to sex, kinky and very wild sex. Doctor friends, that I know from the area, have told me about some crazy things, things I genuinely wanted to see. I kissed Steve goodbye at the airport and made my way to the city by the bay.
When I landed, it was a shock. It was cool and breezy and not 110 degrees like Phoenix. I made my way to my accommodations and then hopped in bed. I knew it was going to be a busy morning. I awoke, got ready and was in the ED by 6 am. I was at the largest level one hospital in the city. The ED was bustling. I made my introductions and got to work. My first patient was a 22-year-old girl who had gotten extremely ill at a dance club. She was throwing up and had a terrible headache. I wondered why the ED docs had given me this patient. I asked around and one of the nurses told me she had been at an afterhours sex club. I guess I gave her a blank stare or something because she piped back, "don't you have those in Texas?" I told her I needed more information.
She said that there was a vibrant afterhours club scene in San Francisco and that you could find a club for almost anything. There were gay clubs, straight clubs, swinger clubs, there were even club for people into body modification. After midnight, the city came alive. I went back to my patient and she told me that she and a couple of friends went to Club ****** to go dancing and find hot guys. She said that they danced for a couple of hours and the guys bought them drinks. She did not remember anything after 3 am and the first thing she remembered was being in an ambulance on the way to the hospital. I asked her if she wanted me to do a rape kit on her. She looked down, ashamed. Then she said her vagina hurt and she thinks that maybe she had sex with one of the guys. I had seen this before.
I ordered the kit. A few hours later it came back positive, she had sex with someone. I did not know if was consensual or not, but someone had penetrated her and left his calling card. That morning, I saw four more young ladies with the exact same story from that club and others. Over the next week, the stream of women only intensified. Paula, one of the nurses I worked with, told me that probably 10 to 15 percent of what they saw on an average shift was women who had taken Molly at a club and ended up very sick and usually with a positive kit.
