Choke pg 68-99

Because each chapter in the book is about something different, its sometimes hard to follow... But here goes:

Victor discuses how he lives in his mom's vacant house with all her old stuff (idk why but this seems creepy to me). He also mentions going out to dinner with Denny a couple more times, to pay their bills of course, as well as another flashback to his mother in their earlier years.

The significant part of this section, however, is that Victor's mom has something she wants Victor to know. The thing is, she's so messed up in the brain she doesn't even recognize her own son anymore. So, Victor dresses Denny up as him and tricks his mom into telling Denny whatever it is she had to tell Victor. While this is taking place, Victor is being seduced by a doctor Paige Marshall at the hospital. As far as I know, he resisted her (although considering his history I can't imagine why..).

The scene between Dr. Marshall and Victor actually took place at the hospital, and the doctor was the one who initiated it. I think most people would agree that this behavior is unacceptable and simply unprofessional. In the back of my mind I kind of wonder if this type of thing ever happens in our hospitals (ew gross.).
