Rosa Blasi: Dr. Luisa Delgado

Quotes 

• Dr. Dana Stowe : [to Lu]  I just, uh... came up from surgery. Kilner came back to work this morning.

  Dr. Luisa Delgado : What?

  Dr. Dana Stowe : Yeah, he's been out on bail. Nothing to stop him, really.

  Lana Hawkins : How the hell can they let that happen?

  Midwife Peter Riggs, R.N. : The man rapes Lu and Dr. Jackson lets him come back to work here?

  Dr. Luisa Delgado : Hey, hey. That's enough, all right?

  Dr. Dana Stowe : Robert didn't really have a choice. Like it or not, the man's innocent until proven guilty and if the hospital fires him, then he could sue for wrongful dismissal. I just thought you should know.

  Dr. Luisa Delgado : Okay, well. Now I know, so...

  Dr. Dana Stowe : Look, Lu...

  Dr. Luisa Delgado : I'm not gonna break, okay? You guys walk on me like I'm eggshells. I'm just.. I'm gonna go nuts. So let's get back to the day and...

  Midwife Peter Riggs, R.N. : Lu, you've got weeks worth of vacation time.

  Dr. Luisa Delgado : Yeah, and no money to go anywhere.

  Lana Hawkins : Why don't you lay low for a couple of weeks till this grand jury thing...

  Dr. Luisa Delgado : No. So he raped me, okay? He's not gonna ruin my life. If anyone ought to be running and hiding, it's Kilner and not me.

• Lana Hawkins : [to Lu]  Not that it's any of Lana's business, but when you gonna tell Marc you've been raped?

  Dr. Luisa Delgado : You're right. It's not any of your business.

  Lana Hawkins : You don't think he hasn't noticed there's something up with you?

  Dr. Luisa Delgado : He hasn't noticed because there's not.

  Lana Hawkins : Oh, which part of not am I missing here, Lu? The part about how you're not taking time off even though your rapist, Dr. Kilner is right upstairs? The part about you not remembering things your son told you twice? Or the part about how you're not being honest with yourself about how you're not feeling? What's gonna happen when you got to go before the grand jury, Lu? How you gonna explain that to Marc?

  Dr. Luisa Delgado : You know what? You and me have been friends a long time. That does not give you the right to tell me what I should and should not do.

  Lana Hawkins : He's your baby, Lu. He's your baby. You two are so close sometimes... sometimes I think you share a brain, only today I'm thinking maybe he got the bigger half. How's that boy gonna feel if he finds out his mother was raped from somebody other than his mother which he will. Because even though nobody's talking to you about it 'cause they don't know what to say and they're talking. It's that big pink elephant in the corner and if you don't do something about it, your kid's gonna get crushed by that elephant.

• Dr. Luisa Delgado : I'm Lu and I was raped. Only that was just the start of it because I'm still being raped every minute of every day. You know, I just... I can't eat, can't sleep. I got this, like pounding in my head. Only I realize it's not in my head. It's the sound of his breath in my ear and it won't go away. The bastard who raped me, came inside me and then kissed me on the cheek and told me I better get cleaned up because my son was gonna be home. I just keep playing it over and over in my head, just wishing that I was broken on the outside so I didn't have to justify feeling like I'm a million pieces on the inside.

  Ardelle Davis : It's gonna take time. Six months and the rawness starts to fade, but really dealing with the issues and intergrating may take years.

  Dr. Luisa Delgado : It only took him five minutes.
