First Year-Chapter 2
The last intern on our team other than me was Elizabeth Porter or Bette, as she lwanted to be called. She was pretty high strung and definitely type-A on steroids. On the first day of work she showed up with Blackberry in hand, to keep her tasks, memos and contacts in line. She had long curly brunette hair, mocha-colored skin and deep chocolate colored doe eyes that seemed to smile on their own. She was decked out in designer clothing, a tailored suit by Prada and sporting matching 3 inch pumps. We were severely underdressed compared to her. She, like Sean, was only spending a year as an internal medicine resident. She was the top graduate of Harvard Medical School and was set to move on to an extremely competitive Dermatology residency here at the Peabody Clinic. They had hundreds of applicants and only selected one to two residents per year. Any resident coming out of that program would land top dollar offers for highly regarded practices around the country. Bette apparently had several lucrative offers from local  and Boston practices if she was able to successfully complete her Dermatology residency. Bette laughed at the concept of “if”,  it was definitely “when” for her. She was ready, she looked and played the part of a boutique Dermatologist for the rich and famous.
She was a stunner. She was the tall, extremely fit, bi-racial daughter of one of the board members for the Clinic. She could have easily been a runway model. Her father, Melvin Porter was a very driven, though, sometimes obnoxious, prominent African-American attorney in town. He was a self-made multi-millionaire attorney to the stars. He sat on the board of the hospital and many other major corporations in town. Bette’s mother was a blonde haired blue-eyed former beauty queen, who died of malignant melanoma when Bette was a young girl. She apparently loved everything about the sun. Unfortunately for her, the sun did not love her and that mole that kept getting larger was more ominous that she thought. She died within a year of diagnosis. This and her father Melvin, motivated Bette’s career choice. Bette was definitely Daddy’s girl. She was straight and was anticipating becoming engaged to the hottest young associate in her father’s law firm by the end of that first year. Her life was already laid out for her. Bette liked structure and order. She did not like to be surprised or to veer from the set out path. I often looked at her and her obsessive compulsive, type-A, uptight approach to medicine and life and thought, whatever!

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.
