My partner, having lived in cold climates all her life, looked forward to moving to LA. The beaches, celebrities and West Hollywood called her. Unfortunately in the end, they didn’t call her loudly enough. She did not get a position in LA for her chosen residency in Internal Medicine-Pediatrics. Med-Peds was the new, smarter Family Pratice alternative. She often looked down on traditional Family Practice programs. They were 3 year programs, where in the end, per Dylan, you were a “jack of all trades and master of none”. Med-Peds was a vigorous 4 year residency where in the end, you would be board certified in both Internal Medicine and Pediatrics. Dylan was brilliant and finished near the top of our medical school class an felt strongly this was a better alternative. She had a bit of a troubled past but rose above it. I was madly in love with her and missed her terribly on that first day of being an intern.
We were both stunned when she didn’t match for a position here. She was outstanding and received honors in all her core rotations. She was caring and compassionate. She was very personable. She should have been able to choose her program.  She was certain after a very positive interview and the subsequent recruitment call she got from the program director that she would  secure a position here, but in the end, she did not match here and ended up her second choice, at the, also world famous, Cleveland Clinic. We were both stunned that we would be separated but the “match” was a bit of a crap shoot. After going on interviews, programs ranked you, you ranked them and the ranking lists went into a non-biased computer, which was supposed to match the programs and students who ranked each other the highest. We just never thought that with her credentials and after such positive feedback she would not match at the Peabody Clinic. But on the much bally-hooed, Match Day, when students across the country gathered to find out where they were going, she was shocked to see the Peabody Clinic was not her destiny. The outcome of the match was your commitment to the program and the programs commitment to you.  You really could not break that commitment after match. She didn’t voice it but I certainly thought it, could  my mother, Peggy Peabody, would have interfered and requested the program directors not to rank Dylan. It was unthinkable, but how naïve was I.

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.
