GENERAL HOSPITAL

 

Former Nurse  Iris Fairchild    An old friend of Meg Scott Bentley Baldwin, first mentioned on February 12, 1967.  Arrives at Meg and Lee's as they are settling in. April 11th, Iris  starts at General Hospital as a nurse on the ward.  She receives a letter from the scoundrel - a married doctor that jilted her. She moved into an apartment in mid-May.

   Dr. Baird Roberts starts calling her, begging for her to return to Saint Louis. Iris admits her vulnerability to Baird, and declines champagne when he takes her to dinner. After much prodding from Roberts, Iris finally rejects him. But then, second  thoughts abound, Iris quits the nursing job, but she learns the scoundrel had run back to his wife -causing her to start drinking .  She begs Steve to give her back her job, and Meg asks Lee to broach the subject of drinking with Iris.  Iris had nightmares that she may have overmedicated Dr. John Prentice.  After dropping a bottle of disinfectant, Iris admits to Meg she has a problem. She promised to stop being late anymore   She is assigned patient Joan Fielding, a patient whose possible diagnosis was cirrhosis of the liver. Iris identifies with Joan, and needs help when she gets sicker.  Joan disappears, and Iris and Lee found common ground while searching, and declared Joan missing.  Upon Joan's death,  Iris began drinking while she brooded. Lee eventually convinced her to join Alcoholics Anonymous.  She  eventually walked away from AA, found herself having trouble drawing blood from a patient.  The Baldwins took her in for the Christmas of 1967 holidays.  Iris stayed on the wagon, but New Year's Eve --  not so much.

She works on the case and goes to AA  with Lee.  Poor Meg feels left out.  Lee's brother Tom (in love with Jessie and found guilty of murder with her)-- then cleared) and Iris began dating.   Time went by, and Tom grew tired of Iris working so closely with Lee.  He tries to convince her to work as a nurse at the hospital again.  Tom declared his love and proposed. Iris finally agreed.  She asked Lee and Meg to stand up for them.

             Tom's anger about her job with Lee continued.  As the wedding approached, she kissed Lee goodbye,  accepting their mother's necklace from Tom.  But the wedding day arrived, and Iris didn't show up.  Missing  were her suitcase and a bottle of whiskey.  Iris sent a letter with two words -- "Forgive me".  She returns home for her clothes and Lee was waiting.  He rushed her to the hospital, where Tom diagnosed her with Bronchial Congestion.  She went home withLee and Meg.   (To be continued in 1969....)
