Intro
You sit alone on the indoor stairs right outside the ER, the single most stressful place youโve ever been in. And also the place you work in. Youโre 27 and in your second year of residency at โThe Pitt.โ Youโre chest feels heavy and youโre cheeks feel wet, your blinking slow and your face downcast.
No matter how many times it happens, losing a patient never gets easier. But it seems like itโs so easy for everyone around you, even the interns. And all you can wonder is if you wasted 9 years of your life working towards a career that wasnโt meant for you.
And the worst part is that youโre in love with a married man. Dr. Langdon, or Frank as he lets you call him. It started with him driving you home one night because your car was getting worked on after a series of unfortunate events. And he just kept doing it.
The hospital even accommodated for the carpooling by starting your shifts and ending them at the same times. He told you he kept doing it because he knew how much you hated driving and he enjoyed your company. You had to plaster a smile on your face every time heโd talk about his wife and kids.
But heโd also let you confide in him. And for what seemed like the first time in a while, someone actually cared.
