Hippocratic Oath: Should Marlena Treat Jan on Days of our Lives?

On Days of our Lives, Belle Black Brady is furious that not only is her husband living with the woman who raped him and is now having his baby, but that her mother has agreed to treat the psycho, kidnapping witch.

Days of our Lives Polling

Jan Spears (Heather Lindell) claims she wants help to become a better person. Belle (Martha Madison) sees it as Dr. Marlena Evans Black (Deidre Hall) taking Jan’s side over hers. Is Marlena doing the right thing? Almost 2,000 weigh in with their opinion.

DOOL: Unprofessional

If you’re not supposed to treat family members, then 63% of you figure it’s equally as unethical to treat those who’ve tortured your family members for decades. Has Marlena forgotten everything that Jan did to Belle.

Most recently the Shawn Brady (Brandon Beemer) Devil-assisted rape, and who can forget the Belle wedding day kidnapping? If she wants to help Jan, Marlena can refer her to a trusted and capable colleague. Belle is right. This is too much to deal with from her own mommy!

Days of our Lives: Quality Control

Who better to assess whether or not Jan is really sincere in her rehabilitation than Doc Evans herself, 22% of the audience reasonably points out. Jan will likely have no problem snowing another psychiatrist, but Marlena isn’t so easily fooled. Not only does she know what’s at stake if Jan goes back to her evil, evil ways, but she’s had multiple up close and personal visits with the Devil herself. So she knows what to look for.

DAYS: Split the Difference

How about this, 15% propose: Marlena can consult with the other therapist treating Jan. This way, Belle gets the best of both worlds. Her mother isn’t Jan’s primary doctor, but she can step in if ever it looks like Jan is going back to her old tricks. Because if that happens, no one in Salem is safe. Especially not Belle and her family.
