Sarah Charlotte Rossi

June 3rd, 1983, 34

Pansexual

Hardass

Attending Trauma Center Surgeon

Evaluation Observations:
Sarah is an incredibly hard-working and devoted worker. She displays an excellent ability when it comes to recognizing issues and their appropriate fixes. In times of stress, she maintains poise and remains cool. When dealing with interns, however, she is often very tough on them and demands nothing but their very best. If said interns continue to execute properly, she will tend to let up just a little bit just to see what her interns can do. Otherwise, she holds them on a very tight leash and doesn't like them messing around.

Actual Personality:
Sarah cares very, very much about her job. She cares about the patients, her colleagues, and anything else you could think of. She will take all the steps she can take in order to save a patient, but it won't work out all the time. Sarah doesn't take much bullshit either, as her job shouldn't be a job where messing around should be tolerated. With life and death being on the line so often, it's a wonder how Sarah stays sane and keeps her composure all the time.

Tiffany Rose Archer

May 21st, 1986

Lesbian

N/A

CMH Chief of Staff

Evaluation Observations:
Tiffany has an excellent bedside manner, which works well in her line of medicine. She is extremely proficient in interacting with patients and receives much acclaim for her services. However, she tends to overwork herself and does get burnt out at some points. She is often at the hospital past her shift to figure out cases that she has yet to solve, or find a better way to treat an injury.

Actual Personality:
Being a former athlete, Tiffany knows what it's like to suffer an injury and potentially be sidelined from the activity you love for a significant amount of time. She makes it a priority to empathize with her patients and make sure they get the best treatment possible.
She doesn't want to tell any of her patients that they have been sidelined for significant time, and will use every resource she can to make sure it doesn't happen.

She's already achieved it.

Emilia Rose Carter

May 6 | 29
Santa Ana, California

Female | Closeted Bisexual

Sweetheart | Caucasian | American | Agnostic | Liberal

Pediatrician Specialized in Neonatal Medicine

Evaluation Observations:
Upon first encounters, you may notice that Emmy is this bubbly, energetic ball of sunshine. She always has a smile on her face, and no matter the circumstances she sees the bright side of things. She’s the type to try and cheer up her coworkers and bring little baked goods for everyone every once in a while to brighten up their day. She’s also very patient, kind-hearted and smart.

Actual Personality:
When you get to know Emmy, you realize that what you saw in your first encounter is what you get. However, the fact that she’s single with no children makes for a rather lonely life, as there is nothing more that she wants so badly than to have a family of her own. Rumor has it that she can get a little too attached to her tiny patients because she doesn’t have children of her own. Sometimes, when she lets her guard down, you could catch her crying over not being able to help a patient or some other little thing (once she cried over not making enough cupcakes for everyone because she’d miscounted).

Even though Emmy has achieved most of her dreams by becoming a pediatrician and saving the lives of many newborns and children, there are still some things she wants to do. One of Emilia’s dreams is to live her own love story, get married to that special someone, and to have a few of those wonderful babies she loves so much. In order to achieve that, though, she needs to find that Prince Charming first.

The resident sweetheart with the heart of gold, who wears that very same heart on her sleeve.

Athena Victoire Bailey

Female, Bisexual

Bitch. She got called 'Elsa' once, does that count? No? Well she's about as white as any other Caucasian lady, isn't into finding out any of that ancestry crap, so...it is what it is.

Resident Lawyer, or as she so lovingly puts it, Professional Ass Shield

Evaluation Observations:
Professional to a tee and obsessed with work, Victoire is a known workaholic who pours whatever free time she has into her job. Once she was granted the position, she etched her claws into it to make sure she wouldn't lose it. As a result she's always somehow always seen but never seen. Her office's open door policy is always inviting, and while she's usually all smiles and getting to the point, people who try to steer the conversation towards personal life tend to crash into a metaphorical wall that she slams up. She outright refuses to talk about her personal life, wanting to focus on the case at hand and preventing her doctors from losing their licenses and jobs. One patient described her as the nicest sheet of ice that they had ever met, so that's a pretty good summary. Still, she's been warned more than once to cut her stealth insults and sarcastic quirps, so she's working on that.

Actual Personality:
There isn't too much of a difference, though her real self is just always tired. If she could just stay home and sleep all day, she would. She knows she puts too much pressure on herself, but continues in a masochistic cycle to purposely torture herself. She hates everything about herself, from the way she looks to how she acts, as she's aware her personality drives people away despite her longing to make meaningful connections to people. She is actually quite the romantic, dreams of having her own family, and wants all that gushy, cliche love life. Her insecurities drive her self esteem to the negative. Despite everything, she has never publicly shown this side to anyone.

Goals in life : Starting a family of her own. Not that she would ever admit it out loud.

Helpful, but cold. If she shows up, it's not usually a good thing.

ϟ Hardcore

Attending Orthopedic Surgeon

ϟ Easygoing
ϟ Hardworking
ϟ Passionate

ϟ Uninhibited
ϟ Short-Tempered
ϟ Intense

Evaluation Observations
To everyone around her, Mariah is a brilliant young surgeon who isn't afraid to take risks. She's very dedicated and passionate about her work, spending the majority of her time in the hospital helping patients. To most of the interns, she's actually very likable; she cracks jokes whenever she can, doesn't talk to them as if they were children, and usually takes the time to teach them everything they need to know about her field of work. When it comes time for surgery, however, she is a completely different person; while sometimes giving an intern the reigns when she feels that they're ready for it, she does not screw around when it comes to the patient. She'll often yell or remove an intern or resident from her operating room if they're not up to the challenge. Mariah is also known for playing music (hip-hop or rock) and singing along as she operates.

Actual Personality
Despite being an open book, there are a few things about Mariah that not too many of her coworkers know. Not only is she a risk taker in the operating room, but also in the outside world. In her lifetime, she's gone rock climbing, skydiving, bungee jumping, and more. She's always been a bit of a thrill seeker. Many of her coworkers also know that she has a bit of a temper, but they haven't seen anything yet. Mariah's closest friends know all about her heated arguments in bars and near brawls with stupid men and shady women. She never has been and never will be one to hold her tongue. Despite all of her shortcomings, however, Mariah is a very dependable and fun-loving person who would go to hell and back for the people she holds dear. Anyone who pays attention can see that.

Mariah is living the life she envisioned when she was a young girl; she's secured a position as the attending Orthopedic surgeon, she drives an Audi, and she lives in a beautiful condo. All that she really dreams about now is broken femurs, being published, and taking a vacation to Waikiki.

♡ Alexander Ivanov ♡

♡ November 9th, 1985 ♡ 33 ♡

♡ Male, Heterosexual ♡

♡ Romanian, Stanford Alumni ♡
♡ McSexy ♡

♡ Head of Cardiothoracic Surgery ♡

♡ There’s good reason his fellow attending, residents, and interns call him McSexy. Xander has that whole dark and mysterious vibe going on for him. From his lush brown locks that seem to never quit, to his icy blue eyes that freeze you in place. He sports a lot of looks, but enjoys a fully grown in beard with his hair a medium to long length. To match his deceptively good looks, is a body that seems up to par. Xander has an athletic build, housing the typical buff arms, defined pecs, and antagonizing six pack. This fine surgeon stands a flat 6’ leaving nothing to the matter of inches, while he weighs a hefty 172 pounds. You’ll most likely catch him in scrubs and a white jacket, but if you’re lucky enough to catch a drink with him his wardrobe is as versatile as he is. Designer names and expensive brands are his niche and he’s not afraid to put it on flamboyant display.

Evaluation Observations:
♡ Alexander Ivanov, nothing short of brilliant. Of course one could list every adjective in positive regard for this man, but that would only help to swell his already massive ego. Watching Alexander work is comparable to watch Basquiat or Van Gogh, his genius lies in how clean and flawless the strokes of his hands are. Every blade and tool is just another instrument for Alexander to conduct, both a composer and a seat in the orchestra. While his coworkers are passionate and dedicated, Xander is of his own dedication. Excellence is what he constantly strives for as reflected in his work. Clinical trials and research are what forge great surgeons, those who push boundaries. Whatever trial he can get the FDA to sign off of he’ll pursue with relentless effort. Aside from that, his bed manner is superb and quite enticing as he’s especially a hit with the ladies, well for reason you can probably imagine.

Actual Personality:
♡ Alexander is still all those things, just not painted in such a perfect light. His arrogance and narcissism take precedence. Having no one to challenge him…literally ever, he’s never had someone to ground him in the realm of human decency and empathy. Some might call him McSleazy or McSlutty since he naturally invokes the whims of men and indulges his sins of the flesh. However, there is a side to him no one knows, no one has ever gotten close enough to know. Xander has no friends, while he’s had many girlfriends, none of them really cared for Xander, just his money. Deep down Xander has the same fears as other residents, he’s only human. Fear of being alone, fear of letting people in, trust issues galore. This has only been self-medicated with an exuberant drug addiction to high end painkillers that numb his senses and allow him to just operate. It takes two to tango, the pills paired with a dash of alcoholism. A nuanced adult, comping apart at the seams, crying out to an empty audience.

♡ Growing up wasn’t too tough for Alexander, his parents were heavily wealthy and affluent people from Romania. To further increase their wealth and reputation, they moved to the United States and took residence in sunny California. As they flourished and prospered, they quickly climbed the wealth ladder and moved into the bracket only celebrities and others in the industry could aspire to be. With such ubiquitous wealth, the two decided it was time to pass on their heritage and wealth to continue their lineage and name. Que the birth of Alexander, the trust fund baby. Alexander grew up with the standard facilities that most rich children are exposed to. Nannies, butlers, the whole nine yards. While his parents did have access to the commodities, his parents never strayed away from showing him love and affection whereas other rich parents are lost in this ancient art.

While he grew up with a silver spoon and an only child, he never truly suffered from the ailments of being either or. While there was some resounding narcissism and arrogance, it was only built off the foundations of his profound street and book smarts. While most people saw things being handed to him, Alexander disagreed and saw it as him seizing his own future, the money to do so was only a slight stipulation that others did not have the access or luxury to. However, somewhere along the line, Alexander began to lose himself. The further he strove to be the best the quicker his veil of humanity slipped, soon he would become effectively a robot, programmed to only self-improve while doing away with trivial things like human emotion and empathy. The more he had and the more his parents accosted him, the more eager he was to slip up and fail.

Once he got to college, he blossomed into a social butterfly. Everyone knew who he was, but none of them were genuine in their actions. People smiled in his face, but talked bad when he was gone. To people he was just a dollar sign, girls loved him for his looks and his money but not much else. The shallowness he experienced propelled his transformation into a robot with cynicism as its main resource. Alexander doesn’t quite no exactly when, but this was the advent of his two addictions, his two loves: Pills and Liquor. While most people cope with stress of finals and break ups with food and friends, Alexander found solace in drugs and alcohol. It wasn’t too long before he was addicted to pain killers and hard liquor. While never taken together in lethal combination, one or the other was enough to sedate the lonely android. Instead of relying on people and his family, Alexander buried himself in his work. Besides his two addictions, medicine was his biggest plight and joy. He was meant for this, he was a prodigy. Alexander went on to graduate at the top of his class in both undergrad and medical school.

With his parents being quite the philanthropist, they donated large sums of money into CMH where their humble donations opened the door for their son to start his internship. Alexander took the offer and rose through the ranks like an unstoppable force. No one could doubt his prowess behind the blade and no one attempted to. Eventually, Alexander settled in quite well and rose to be the renowned surgeon he is today. If he wasn’t the best he sure as hell could make an argument for it.

Money being a non factor and being the countries foremost Cardiothoracic Surgeon, there's not many goals Alexander has. In fact, he only works on short term goals, one's he can fully see to completion. He does however hope to win awards based on his medical merit and trials. Personally, Alexander just wants to cleanse his addiction and find someone who can make him see differently, in a world that isn't just black and white.

The Best, but sleeps with the rest.

Yunjin "Eugene" Kim

October 13. 44.

Female. Open.

Stick in the Mud | Recovering and Rediscovering Catholic | University of Chicago, Pritzker (Summa Cum Laude) | Unfortunate Realist

Chief of Surgery, Caduceus Memorial Hospital

Evaluation Observations:
It's almost a cliche but Eugene does tend to come off as the 'fun police' of the surgical ward, but given her position it's a bit more understandable. Regardless of how she views others under her direct care - none can say she doesn't care. Eugene holds herself to higher standards than the other surgeons of the department and in turn expects her staff to aspire to meet said standards, which has the unfortunate benefit of giving Eugene a reputation for being something of a stick in the mud given her distaste for things she considers to be 'frivolous' such as her views on the 'booty on-call room'. Everything aside, however, and it's easy to see why Eugene is perfectly suited for the position she's been given. She runs a tight ship but knows she can't just hold the leash tight while at the same time making sure mistakes are noted and corrected. She has a 'One Strike' policy when it comes to major infractions. Eugene is a hard boss to like on the job, but the surgical ward is better for it, and someone has to shoulder the burden that comes with the egos and vibrant personalities that scrub in.

Actual Personality:
Eugene feels like she has the weight of the world on her shoulders damn near every day, and that's before adding to the fact that lives are literally in the hands of her and her surgeons. In truth, she's often jealous of her peers - and though she is the Chief of Surgery she does see the doctors and nurses of the staff as her peers (even interns, though she's not above giving them a bit of a hard time...traditions and all) - when said peers seem to be managing the hectic and stressful realities of the job with a seemingly normal social and romantic life. While not 'married to the job' she's well aware that the majority of her social interactions comes with dealing with patients who think they know better than the staff or from doctors trying to convince her to let them scrub in or sit in on surgeries or in dealing with the Board or God forbid legal and that takes its toll. While it's true she has a List of her opinions about the surgeons, she also respects them all individually. They've earned at least that much just by wearing and doing the scrubs proud. Eugene isn't nearly as stern and stoic as she is when dealing with the pressures of the job, but she would challenge anyone to be in her shoes and not go down the same path. Barring any blatant malpractice, Eugene will stick her neck out for her surgeons, and she's not a bad person to have in your corner for that.

History:

The only thing that matters with Eugene's history is her credentials, and that's all she typically talks about. She was born overseas, in Busan, but her family relocated to the States when her father's job at an automobile manufacturer needed an experienced hand to manage a new branch in America. Eugene, born Yunjin, didn't always want to be in the medical profession, there was a time where she figured working on cars like her dad would be fine, but the best bit of advice her parents gave her was not feeling the need to simply follow in their footsteps. In high school Yunjin thought she might like to be a cop after the school had a D.A.R.E. assembly. She still isn't sure why she opted to enter the medical program at the Pritzker School at her university but it was the right choice.

She did her internship and residency at Chicago Medical Center and she would have been happy to continue on at that hospital - but she heard about Jack Marshall and the idea of a competing hospital sounded promising - and put in to transfer to Caduceus Mercy where she has been for twelve years. She was chosen to be the new Chief of Surgery when the previous one stepped down; it was a bit of a hot gossip issue given that she was still seen as a bit inexperienced or young despite getting the promotion at forty, but she's proven to be a fine choice.

Anything else about Eugene she keeps mostly to herself. Except why she goes by Eugene, and that's because one of her earliest patients had difficulty saying 'Yunjin' and kept calling her 'Eugene'. Some of her peers thought it was funny and used it to poke fun. When the patient passed away, one of Yunjin's more formative patients in her career, she took to calling herself Eugene. She quite likes it.

Eugene has accomplished a good deal of the goals she had. Graduated with top honors. Survived her internship and residency.
Made Chief of Surgery just shy of forty. She's been published, technically, and she was in an article that was read by people who care enough to read articles about new hirings at a new hospital. One thing she hasn't done, which might well be the last thing on her list of goals, is a relationship. Marriage. For all her knowledge of medicine she is still, at post-40, ignorant on the finer points of dating and the like. She's never been married and her longest relationship was about a month. It's not at the front of her list of priorities,
though. She'd like to have Caduceus Memorial's reputation be number one but that's more a point of pride. She was sought out, after all, it's the least she could do to give back to the place that gave her a career even through the down times.

An often overly serious but ultimately well picked Chief of Surgery.

Christopher Lewis Freeman

November 2nd, 31
Cheltenham, England

Male, heterosexual

English | Dyspraxic | Caucasian | INTJ | Atheist

Medical laboratory surgeon

Evaluation Observations:
Christopher is a dedicated worker to the point of insanity. Even when he's on his break, he'll try his best to do some research for a colleague. Upon speaking to him, he's sometimes rude and arrogant, expressing a lack of optimism about pretty much everything. Though he's renowned for being one of the best at what he does, nobody really knows that much about him. Unless you ask him for advice in an area he knows about, in which case he'll suddenly become oddly helpful, proud to be imparting his knowledge onto his peers.

Actual Personality:
When you get to know Christoper, it's not like he'll change much. He'll still be as straightforward and reclusive as when you first met him. However, he will try his best not to offend you. He doesn't mean to be offhand with people, but it's a defense mechanism he has, purely because he does not trust easily, combined with a strong sense of non-conformism. A close friend of his will know that, when he deems you worthy of his trust and respect, he becomes the ride-or-die type, absurdly loyal and showing immense kindness in rather subtle ways. Christopher craves human connection secretly, and would do anything to make sure he stay friends with the people he cares about.

Topher has two dreams: one he'll gladly tell anyone about, another that he prefers to keep to himself. He could talk for hours about his dream to run his very own, independent lab where he can pioneer whatever treaments come to his fancy.
The one he'll never talk about? Find a nice girl and start a family. But it's not like he deems that one possible.

The intense, lonely nerd who will get the job done no matter what.

Topher has dyspraxia. This means that he has poor hand-eye co-ordination, struggles articulating himself, and has no spatial awareness.

ari saleh alnaeli

september eleventh | thirty-one

male | heterosexual

indian | asian american | mama's boy

attending trauma surgeon

Evaluation Observations:
Most find Saleh a competent and genuine doctor. He cares for his patients and treats all with a deep sense of kindness and respect. When first met people assume him to be soft-spoken or quiet but in reality he just likes to show a sense of respect by holding his tongue. Approachable and able to hold a conversation most interns and find him nurturing and fatherly as he is always willing to help lend a hand when needed. Saleh can be considered aloof too as his mind does sometime seem to be off in the clouds, but he is always thinking about a case or his patients because his work is his the number one thing in his life. Coming from a rich and wealthy background also sets a tone that Saleh was spoiled all throughout his entire life, which isn’t false, but he has done as much as he can to show that he is independent and that it’s not just because his family is wealthy that he got to where he is at. Doesn’t help that his father is a well-known Otolaryngologist and plastic surgeon.

Actual Personality:
The real Dr. Alnaeli is an extremely stubborn and hard-working man. He is always focused on whatever task is at hand and doesn’t like to bend the rules to get to the end, even if the outcome isn’t what he wants or wished for. He follows the path of right and tries his best to stay on the straight and narrow, but he knows that he cannot control the actions of others, he just has to do his best to control his own. A genuinely good doctor, man, and human being he follows his head in situations nine times out of ten, which sometimes makes him miss what is in front of him. He buries himself into his work always trying to prove to himself that he is a good doctor and that his parents should be proud of him. And that brings in another true nature of Saleh. He is extremely self-conscious when it comes to his family. They expect a lot out of him and expect him to be the greatest, but with high expectations comes a lot of insecurities and faults that he finds within himself. No one really sees this side of Saleh, but even though he seems calm and collected, he’s really just barely hanging on with his mental health.

History:
Saleh comes from a very well-off family. His father, Ari Alnaeli, was a doctor in India and his mother, Harpreet Kaur, a nurse, before moving to the United States to continue their careers. It was sometime after their successful careers that Saleh was born in the States and was molded to become one of the greatest doctors ever, but without a doubt, all that pressure tore him down mentally. Saleh was given high expectations by his father and he never reached them, always somehow falling short. The young Indian man made his way through college attending medical school at Duke University where he had also finished up his residency in General Surgery before landing a job in CMH.

He has only been there for a year or so, but he is doing his best to show his talents.

One goal in life would be to be made the Chief of Surgery, but also travel the world and maybe one day find his soulmate, but those are on the back burner. He wants to make his parents proud, and their happiness comes in the form of his accomplishments, so Saleh has to continually strive for more. Doesn’t help that he has to live in his father’s shadow.

A hard-working and focused doctor who has big footsteps that he has to follow.

Nikki McInerney

January 5th, 26

Female | Heterosexual

2nd Year Resident

Evaluation Observations:
Nikki McInerney is a woman who knows what she wants, and how to get it. Graduating at the top of her class at Brown, she aced all the right exams and said all the right things to end up at CMH in the Residency program. Her attention to detail and keen eye led her to earn the first solo surgery of her intern class and allowed her to keep sprinting towards bigger and more prestigious goals. Nikki's passion is evident, in her work and in her everyday life. She strives to become the best doctor, and surgeon, that she can be, and although she has not selected a specialty at this point in time, whatever she chooses she will certainly excel in.

Actual Personality:
When not working, Nikki is quite an approachable young woman and is someone you will often find chatting with anyone and everyone. She enjoys conversing with her fellow residents and discussing new and innovative techniques with her superiors, so making friends is easy for her. However, the line is drawn when it comes to her work, where the redhead is a well-oiled machine. She doesn't want her future to be compromised or suffer from her lack of attention and focus, so when it's time to work, you know she's going to work her ass off. She may come off as callous and cold-hearted when she's trying to save someone's life, but when her integrity is on the line and you try to get in the way so help you god you better move.

Become the best doctor and surgeon possible

The resident you need if you want to get the job done.

Andrew Gellman

April 17th, 34

Male | Heterosexual

Neurosurgeon

Evaluation Observations:
It is evident that Andrew Gellman was born to be a neurosurgeon. Highly decorated with accolades from high school, college, and med school, Andrew excels in any task that he sets his mind to. In fact, he excels in every task he performs, which allows him to be one of the most successful surgeons in his class and in the country. He doesn't come without his faults, but the pros outweigh the cons for this doctor, as his work is unparalleled. He is currently researching surgeries to lessen the effects of early onset Dementia and is working hard to find a cure for Alzheimer's.

Actual Personality:
To say that Andrew is a dick is an understatement. This guy lives and breathes crude comments, and is almost automatically on your bad side once you first meet him. What makes it worse is that he is incredibly talented and very good at what he does, which allows him to remain at the hospital. If his job was solely based on his personality, he would've been kicked out a long time ago, but due to his impressive skillsets, they keep him around. Andrew knows he's rude, which only makes him want to live up to this reputation even more, and he enjoys poking fun at the nurses and other attendings. In addition, he knows he's good looking and certainly uses it to his advantage, hitting on anything that has a pulse.

Zachary Lee Sinclair

May/27/1988 | 29 | London, UK.

Male | Closeted Homosexual

"Brit" | English | Agnostic | Moderate

Neurology Senior Night-Float

Dapper and debonair, whether in scrubs or a shirt & tie. Slim and slender, long and lanky, a runner's build on the lither side of sport usually helpful when running around the facilities on late night consult call. And despite his nickname, Zach's skin is far from the pale, coming in with a fair peach tone, combined with his expressive chocolate brows and quiff. The exquisite cheekbones, full lips, and defined jawline tipped with the slightest suggestion of scruff completes the tall, dark and handsome appeal in whatever he wears or isn't wearing. Although his steely grey-blue eyes gaze far deeper than most, looking past your optic disks and down the optic nerve straight into the brain to see the content of the mind. Perhaps it is these eyes and the highbrow that gives Zach his cerebral appearance. That or the sophistication he takes to meticulous grooming and attire, which merely add to the English Gentlemen mystique.

Evaluation Observations:
Never seems to leave the hospital. Zac gives off the illusion of living at the hospital as a resident ought to. A quiet man of diligence and mystery, an unspoken intellect keen to observe rather than speak. A few quips of wit sardonically tossed in so casually that they are easily missed amongst the tea-fueled frenzy of his work. Maybe it is the accent that he carries that lends to him an exotic charm, a gentlemanly sort of proper-ness that calms the airs around him by knocking them down a peg every time he opens his mouth and speaks in RP. Zac is a private man, he never quite speaks his mind, and would rather talk about someone else's brain and few actually know personal information about him as he gives out so little in what time he has to idly chat about himself. Most impressive is his ability to seemingly remember every patient and case under his service with such an amazing degree of accuracy. He would make for a brilliant attending, if he wasn't so nocturnal.

Actual Personality:
The international man of mystery conceal his secrets well. Few staff see him leaving for his apartment, only to return in a few hours. Fewer still are the friends that know the man behind the passive act, understanding his need to compartmentalize. It's easy to put on the mask at work, carrying on with stiff upper lip, but the bitter crash comes at the cost of his psyche. His insomnia stems from both inside and out, stresses which he copes with by working over hours. The patients he can do nothing about, gnaw at his physician's guilt though he never lets it show to others. And of course his hidden sexuality, which he fears will get him ousted by the powers that be. He's worked long and hard, and won't risk everything for a moment of truth. So why not feign interest in the ladies that fancy him? Better over-brewed tea than no tea at all.

What are dreams even? Simulation of waking events occurring in REM sleep? Or desires of the self projected into the illusion of reality? The fickle nature of a dream makes the memory nothing more than a grasp at falsehoods. But if there was such a thing as a future vision, the idolized goal in life which all must stride forward to, for Zach it would be to return to his native roots. Living out of the UK, out in the Welsh countrysides in a quiet early retirement with a partner. A rather modest goal for all the work put in, but then again it is the journey that is often more amazing than the end result. It is after all such a complex pathway the signal must travel in the brain to achieve an desired action as simple as such waving your hand hello.

Walking EMR & Neuro-Textbook and Possible Vampire or Zombie who never leaves the hospital

Thomas James Mitchell

July 17, 1955; 62 years
Arlington, Virginia

Male | Heterosexual

Cheapskate | Hardass | Liberal

Director of Women’s Care at CMH, Obstetrician and Gynecologist;
Associate Professor, Caduceus Memorial School of Medicine

Evaluation Observations:
Tom seems to pride himself on intimidation and likes to throw his weight around when it comes to his interactions with his fellow doctors and staff, particularly those who are below him on the totem pole. Arrogance and bluntness are his two main dispositions. Some perceive this as a way of reminding others of his roots – a respected member of John Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore – and that he was less than enthused about making the move out to the west coast to take his current position; a grudge he still holds several years later. This behavior has also earned him a reputation for being a bit of a curmudgeon, something he likes to joke about, or even exploit, depending on the situation.

While some of this attitude shows through when dealing with his patients and students, he tends to be more forgiving in this area, particularly when it comes to the women. He can easily throw on the charm and flirt with the best of them, putting his patients at ease. Perhaps this is why many women still request him even as he’s approaching retirement.

Actual Personality:
Even to his closest friends, Tom is the same as his public persona; he’s not one to hide his pride. He also tends to associate with like-minded people – all very sure of themselves and quick to flaunt their accolades. Sometimes it’s nice to live in an echo chamber. His home life is a bit strained, but after 41 years of marriage to his wife, Beth, they have simply learned to roll with the punches. They may have lost some of their previous passion for each other, but they by no means hate each other. Their three children, along with the grandchildren, have helped to keep the peace.

Of course, there are also rumors running rampant among certain circles of Tom’s illicit activity with women, particularly when he was younger. While Beth is oblivious, their eldest daughter seems to suspect that an affair is/was the true cause of the lull in their marriage. No one has been able to prove it for sure, but sometimes you can hear quiet whispers within the halls of the hospital where he works.

Tom has reached the point in his life where dreams are no longer pertinent; he has accepted the fact that if he hasn’t realized his dreams by now, they will probably remain out of reach. While retirement has become a topic of interest at home with his wife, he remains adamant about taking the plunge.

The grumpy veteran with a wealth of knowledge who is often hindered by his oversized ego.

Abraham is known for inheriting the classy style from both his father, Wesley Cross, and his mother, Florence Lambert-Cross. Both were known for their impeccable fashion sense. Of course, Abe can’t replicate his mother’s sense exact, but her eye for what is stylish and what isn’t has been passed down to Abe. On top of that, with a similar build that his father has, one could imagine it would be like looking into a mirror when he steps out into the public eye. Whether casual or formal (or a mixture of the two), Abe has never encountered any problems with getting certain attention, which is ironic because he doesn’t even try.

Outside views are often misleading, but they do exist for a reason. Then again, Abe has been known to be misleading himself. Whether or not this was intentional or not doesn’t really matter. What does matter is that, in social engagements, there have been multiple instances where Abraham has misled people for his own personal gain. Without a doubt a difficult task to accomplish. It requires certain talents like being a really good actor and being able to sell stories as bonafied truths. Another thing is to be able to confidently portray yourself as such. A little charisma could go a long way to woo people into your circle of confort. Whether or not you judge him for it, those who have been selected for this “experiment” can’t deny Abe has it down to an artform.

It’s hard to really pinpoint when Abe is trying to let people in and when he’s putting on the show of a lifetime. This is because he’s always got a convincing smile and sells whatever lie he has convinced himself to be the truth. Is he a fractured soul? Probably not. If you’re expecting some sob sorry about an arrogant lawyer with a heart of gold, then you’ll be a little disappointed. Truth be told, Abe is mostly transparent. Yes, he flirts a lot. Yes, he has way too much fun even when he shouldn’t be. He can be inappropriate and frequently abrasive. But does that necessarily mean he has low moments? Kind of. He’s the kind of guy who likes to be the life of the party and likes to keep it going for whatever reason. Sometimes it’s to mask his own loneliness, but at the end of the day, he likes to have fun, and as an extension, allow those around him to also enjoy the excitement he creates.

But no one is interested in that, are they? Alright, let’s give the people what they want. That is what Abe is known for, right? Letting them in and giving them a chance to know the real him will get all of those who enjoy his company to like him anymore by living a moment in his shoes. Fine, let’s dance that specific dance.

Abraham Cross lives every moment one laugh at a time. Is it always good times and laughs? Never. Sometimes the party ends and, as you could probably understand, Abe is left alone. And there you have it. That’s his “thing”. That’s his big insecurity. It’s not that he really does have a heart of gold - well he does, but not the point. Abraham Simon-Francis Cross, has this fear of being alone. Who’d have thunk it, right? Someone of his stature and with as many likable traits that he has all points towards the lonely road when everyone else has left.

And now you know why he has made it his mission to become the life of the party. If you cloud yourself under a veil of extrovertedness, no one will see that you’re practically a corpse most of the time.

Abraham Simon-Francis Cross is the son of the highly esteemed criminal lawyer, Wesley Alexander Cross and Republican senator of California, Florence Annabelle Lambert-Cross. Of course, his lineage is as close as it comes to royalty without actually being born into any royal family. On his father’s side, Abe has the prestige of lawyers and artists and on his mother’s side are all forms of politicians. His mother’s father was the mayor of Beverly Hills until a scandal involving his corruption put an end to that. Every single one of his uncles on his mother’s side (he has 3) have gone into politics one way or another and his father’s siblings, save for his uncle Benjamin, who chose the route of disc jockey. His Uncle Sylvester and Aunt Cassandra, however, both went on to graduate with honors from Harvard Law school. The both of them had enjoyed long, lucrative careers in White Collar law, like their father.

But what about Abe? It’s true he has one sister, but she’s not exactly a prime example of what it means to be both a Cross and a Lambert. She’s more like a Drake than she is her own blood. So, it’s up to Abe to carry on the family legacy. The only problem with that has Abe had no interest in being a lawyer. From the time he was able to think a thought of what he’d be like when he grew up right up to the point he had actually decided, Abe had everything from being a politician like his mother to being a hermit in some nomad village in Montana. Only at the time he turned eighteen did he take law as his profession into serious consideration.

And this was how he decided. When his 18th birthday came around, his parents proposed this to him (he had yet to commit to a career route): if he goes to Harvard law school for one year, should he not like it, they [his parents] will happily pay for him to go to any other school of his choice and will not fight him on whatever career he wanted to major in.

So, Abraham did just as his parents had asked him of. He got a special enrollment because his family name carried weight. FOr the entire year, he had a full slate of classes that had ranged from Criminal Law to Criminology. Some classes interested him while others - Blue and white collar law - did not. When he felt they wouldn’t be for him, Abe had dropped it like a hot potato. As weeks had went on, Abe found most of this law business to be not for him. It wasn’t until he decided to check out some books relating to medical law did he find himself, for the first time, interested in what he was reading. Granted, Abe has always an interest in medicine, but the sight of blood makes him nauseous. So the prospect of Medicine Law vastly interested him, so much so that he, in an ironic twist of fate, went to his parents, informing them of his choice to fully commit to medical law where, after three years of attending Harvard Law School and majoring in Medical Law, Abe had graduated with honors at the age of twenty-one.

As soon as Abe had graduated from Harvard Law, it didn’t take long at all for him to find his footing. Over the course of three years, he interned at various medical insurance companies that dealt with various areas of expertise. He learned a lot about the business and what to expect. When he completed one internship, he was highly recommended by the one he previously worked at to become employed by the next one. This was something of a routine for him: he would flawlessly stand out and move on to bigger and better things. Just at the height of all, he was employed with a paying job at Savior Medical, a law firm dedicated to Medical Law. It was one of the more prestigious law firms in Southern California. Not only was that those in charge at this specific law firm were old college roommates of Abe’s father. That being said, Wesley had no hand in getting his son this job. Abe had earned it all by himself. He came in high opinions from his previous employers.

When he arrived at Savior Medical, he came with this pseudo-entitlement that, for all intents and purposes, gave him a bad reputation of being arrogant. Sure, he could back it up with his prestige and his accomplishments: honors at Harvard, flawless records at all his interns, and a personal voucher from Savior Medical’s main partner. In every sense, he was the golden boy who certainly let all of the hype cloud his humbleness. At this point, he was acting more like an entitled Lambert rather than a modest Cross. No surprise, this didn’t win him any favors with his peers nor his superiors. They didn’t like how entitled he acted, so while he technically couldn’t be fired for something like that, it prevented him from getting any real cases. He got some insurance fraud cases here and there, but nothing like those who were hired in the same batch of lawyers that came when he did. It wasn’t until after his tenth consecutive, successfully-won case that the partners gave into what their investors were pushing them to. That, if you haven’t caught on, was giving Abe one of the big cases. Along with one of the partners, Terrance Stark, they tackled one of Southern California’s most notorious malpractice lawsuits in The People v. Weston.The People v. Weston was such a momentous case because of two reasons:

Number one was the doctor who was being sued and the number of plaintiffs that were under this class action suit. Over two hundred wronged patients of Dr. Michael Weston joined three separate teams representing major insurance companies. They claimed that Dr. Weston misdiagnosed his patients in his greedy attempts to squeeze out money from their bank accounts through their insurance. Over 50 million was taken in the course of five years, resulting in the deaths of more than fifty patients because they were treated for the wrong illness, thus resulting in their actual illness going untreated. Some were fatal and some weren’t, but that didn’t matter. No matter the degree of the illness, each and every patient that had money stolen from them was a victim of this monster. Well, at least that’s what Terrance STark and Abraham Cross argued when their case went to court.

The second reason this was such a huge case for Southern California was because this had received so much media attention that, after it was all said and done, it had became a case that all forms of crime television had adapted: Lifetime made a movie about it, Dateline dedicated three episodes to it, and medical dramas had adapted parts of this case into a story arc. With all of this attention and how Abe was one of the main reasons it was won, it shouldn’t be any surprise that this had made Abraham Cross known to many. As to be expected, there had been over a dozen offers from hospitals and other law firms wanting to get Abraham Cross into a lucrative, multi-year contract as part of their legal teams. And, of course, there were a lot of good offers, but none of them presented Abe with what he wanted for his career.

But then just the right offer came his way.

After months of lobbying at hospitals and law firms, one came to him that he just couldn’t ignore:

Caduceus Memorial Hospital. They not only gave him a clear idea of what they were about and what they could do for him but having followed them since he was 18, this was a clear choice. Abe gave them he offers he was given from other hospitals and, though they weren’t able to give him as much as - oh say Beverly Hills General, they did promise him a challenging load of cases. Besides, the reputation that CMH has had one of Abe’s feet in the door. He just needed the right amount of money. Once a suitable starting salary was put into writing, all Abe had to do was to sign on the dotted line. As soon as all was well with the powers that be, Abraham Cross, at the age of twenty-seven, started working for the legal team at Caduceus Memorial Hospital.

It’s a wonderful feeling when everything goes your way, isn’t it?

To be the best that his family knows he could be and that he knows he is.

Abe might have a lot of fears, but at the end of the day, all of them have one, glaring, overlapping thing in common: his fear of loneliness. TO others, they might see it as something trite and not a real fear, but for Abe, it’s a very real thing that often has him trying everything he could to avoid being by himself. But as you might know, not everyone can get what the want. There are obviously going to be times where one runs out of things to do and they are left with the crippling thought of being by themselves. This is where Abe finds himself to be at his lowest and, much like his family history states, being at a low never has been a good thing for a Cross or a Lambert. History of drug and alcohol abuse is always a factor.

Abe is kind of a joking, ladies man. Not at all a saint, he’s known for hitting on anything with a pulse and lady parts. You can count on him being on the opposite end of either a strong slap across either cheek or a drink being hurled in his face. Job-wise, he goofs off sometimes, but at the end of the day, when he’s needed most, he’ll wow the floor with just how good he is at his job.
