First Year-Chapter 2
Chapter 1
July 1, all over the country, everyone in medicine involved in training, regardless of specialty was taking on a new day of firsts. For interns it was the first day we would be on our own, making our own decisions, figuring out how this new, for most of us, hospital worked. This would be the first time we were writing our own orders, and it counted and not needing it to be cosigned by anyone. We might not admit it but we were terrified of the new challenge and responsibility. For the third year medical students, it was their first day of real clinical experience. Those days of classrooms, books, cadavers and theory were over. This was real life, real people and occasionally real death. For the senior residents it was their first day of overseeing the important task of training the medical student and interns. They supervised and kept us out of trouble. This time of year, the roles were new for all of us as we moved up in our medical training. It’s often joked that July is not the time to be sick and go to a training hospital. In truth, it wasn’t, everybody was new at what they were doing but by the next June we were all finely tuned machines ready to take on the next challenge and next set of firsts.
It was the first day of my internship at the world renowned Peabody Clinic in Los Angeles. It was a bit of a home coming for me. Although LA was “home”, I had not lived there much over the past 15 years. I was sent off to a British boarding school at age 10. After I graduated from boarding school, I furthered my education at Yale for my undergraduate degree, then to the University of Chicago for medical school. I was ready to get back into warmer climates after being in cold weather for so long, I debated it heavily but I thought in the end, the Peabody Clinic had an excellent training program, so why not come home. My favorite uncle Phillip Peabody was a highly regarded Cardiologist and begged me to come back here to further my training. He assured me, if I was a “half-way decent” resident, I would no doubt, get a position as a Cardiology fellow there and could join him in practice when I was completed my training. I dearly loved my uncle but I was not so sure Cardiology was what I wanted to do for the rest of my medical career.

Okay S, I see a bit of Grey’s here,,lol. I am liking how you described all of the characters and its a good start!
Thanks for comment Patpez…This story might resemble Scrubs, ER, Grey’s anatomy, etc but will reflect real people and real events I came across when I was a resident. I will try to balance the real medical facts and events with some L-word drama and characters. I rarely watch those shows, so any similarity will be entirely coincidencal. Thank’s for reminding me about that disclaimer.
woop woop…Sorry bit excited about the new story Squirl.Loving how Helena is so confident but in a different way she has a slight twist to her personality that i like.Keep up the good work
I do believe you are going to have a big winner here. Bette is straight? Tina is Bi and our Shane is still our Shane. thanks
I love the start of the fresh story Squirl. But wow, my girl Bette is straight? Can’t wait to see where you take that one, my interest is so highly peeked! I agree with bettyvhall, you have a winner here, looking forward to the next chapter. PPS!
really liked the bios and the diversity of your crew…this ought to bring about very interesting conversation!! Can’t wait to read the next post!!!
Finally caught up and I love it! A wonderful cast of characters…..great potential dynamics…sooo many paths we can go…Out of curiosity, will Alice peek her head in from time to time? And oooo, true personal stories you say (change the names, Jenny! lol! )? I’m so looking forward to where you will take us! I too am frightened by Shane the Anesthesiologist! lol! PPS!
I too wonder if the anesthesiologist at my hospital are on there own meds lol. great story
OMG! You made Bette straight??? Sheesh! Well ignore the comment I put on chapter 4 — no RILF for Helena. I just want it known that not all psychiatrists and mental health professionals are crazy like Jenny. While I can definitely see the fit, it just plugs that stereotype that I find so frustrating. I think my GI specialist is the scope for money type. That had me LOL! Okay, now the subsequent chapters make more sense. So Tina is bi — I wonder where that might lead.
Interesting start–I’m looking forward to where this story goes from here!
Spoofing Grey’s… i like it~
oooooohhhhh very interesting Squirl. I can’t wait to see where this is headed. Dylan didn’t make the cut for the Peabody Clinic?! I sniff back tears as I imagine the steamy broom closet scenes that she and Helena could have had together during breaks, lol. I wonder if Bette will still be straight by the end of the year. Great start, looking forward to the next chapter.
Holy sheet count Dr., sorry for the delay, you diplaced my favorite player of all time put her conter part in LA and the reason for her being replace in my neighborhood, Cleveland of all the places she could have gone, why my friend, well I though you were my friend, in Cleveland????????? This shall be very intresting, is Helena going to get stright Bette to bend? Is stright Bette going to stop by biland w/Tina first? Is Tina going to Stright Bette to bend and Helena is going to steel her away? Is Tina going to get stright Bette to bend and Helena is going to steal Tina away and leave Bette in bendy land for evermore? Oh the place this will take us. Take us away Squirl as only you can. Thank you, Md
P.S. Hope that health is still progressing.
Well. As I’m currently living near Cleveland, yes the Clinic is one of the world’s best hospitals and Cleveland is one dreary place live. I wonder if winter is any nicer up at the Mayo Clinic. Tell me, did Dylan do something to piss you off? Jenny seems a natural to go into Psychiatry. The prospect of Shane in anesthesiology is frightening. Even with the back story and the potential income (not many emergency pages in the middle of the night, either), I’m disappointed that Bette choose Dermatology. I’ve known some internists to sneer just a little at the field. Interesting set up.
