'Helen Memel lies in the Department of Internal Medicine at Maria Hill Hospital. Fsaddon - lha-5 & aav-7. While she waits for her divorced parents to come and visit her - who she hopes will finally be reconciled by the side of her hospital bed - she begins to examine those parts of her body usually seen as distinctly 'unladylike'.
