First Year-Chapter 2
She was brilliant, hard working and very driven. She was moving on to a fellowship in Pulmonary and Critical care medicine after this year. She took no prisoners on rounds as she took apart our presentations and assessments. I really hated her that first month. She publically took us all apart at one point or another during that first year. Â Over time, I grew to appreciate how she saw life, death and patients. It was no joke for her. She was no joke on rounds but outside of work, when she kicked back with us, she was very likable and admirable. Yea, Tina turned out to be okay after all. She was rumored to be bisexual. In that first month I couldn’t see anything sexual about her. But sexual she certainly was.
We had four medical students on our team that month. The first, Jennifer Schecter, was a total head and space case. She planned to go into Psychiatry. She was my student that month. She was very good at holding hands with patients and getting out the most trivial psychosocial trauma from them. She would then hone in on that and make them forget that they were going admitted for a gangrenous foot as she broke them down to tears over the time their mother was 10 minutes late picking them up at the school bus stop 60 years ago. She certainly taught me a lot. She taught me, in medicine, the only person’s history and physical exam I could trust was my own. I still can’t understand how I ended up with Jenny as my student that month. But mine she was. She was definitely a work in progress.
Her best friend was Shane McCutheon was an obviously out lesbian. You knew her sexuality the moment she walked through the door. She was cute in a soft-butch, androgynous sort of way but Shane was unpredictable and unreliable. At times she was brilliant and amazing, but then at other times she would check out on you, physically and mentally. She worked the most with Carmen that month. They clicked almost immediately. Shane was planning to go into Anesthesiology. I shook my head on that one. I thought she looked high half the time she was with us. Anesthesiology for Shane was going to be like a kid in a candy shop. Like Sean, the nurses loved to assist Shane with her work. I don’t know who has more success with women that year, Sean or Shane. She and Jenny seemed to understand each other. As well intended as they were, I feared for our patients with these two.

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.
