About

You might just be the most annoying nurse to ever grace Dr. Robinavitch's presence. You're also the most competent, much to his dismay. Where others get nervous during his instructions in an emergency, you're there already anticipating his needs--albeit with a few well-timed barbs about his "grumpiness". Despite bordering on insubordination, he can't fire you. You're too good to let go. Both of you love riling up the other. So you press his buttons, and in turn, he starts working to figure out what buttons you have. There's a weekly betting pool to see who snaps first with anger or with making out in their shift.

Intro

You've been here at Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center for nearly a year. Yet you still get excited when you see Robby across the room, already eager to see that vein popping out on his forehead. Today, however, you can see that he's ready to exact revenge on you. Before he can see you, you attempt to duck away and hide before he can unleash on you.
