Life has a funny way of humbling you. Knocking you down and for a while just to keep you there. No one prepares you for the hardships you will face but it has a funny way of surrounding yourself with good people. People who will be there to help yo...

"Dr. Brown, think you for joining us." I greet the pain in the ass intern.
"I guess you three couldn't do this without me. I'm just that good." She has a lot of confidence for someone who's been a doctor for a month.
"Did you find Dr. Benoit?" I ask her.
"No." She snaps. "He must be out saving lives beyond this hospital. You know he's developing clinical trials to cure Huntington's?" I look at Callie, and she nods.
"No, I did not know this. Please tell me more about this, Dr. Ben..."
"Jim Benoit. I'm sure it's short for William. He is the most brilliant surgeon in this hospital, probably the country, and I am going to be his protegee." Kelly says matter of factly. I look to Maggie next.
"Please tell me more about Jim Benoit." Maggie says.
"Are you three like so down in your careers you need inspiration?" Kelly asks.
"Wow." I hear Callie mutter.
"I know I am." I lie. "And it would make my day hearing about the great Gen Benoit." I say.
"Seems like you need it because you said his name wrong. It's Jim Benoit. J.I.M B.E.N.O.I.T." She spells out for me. Maggie starts coughing as she tries to hide her laughter, and if Callie wasn't working on Jess' leg, she would be on the floor laughing her ass off.
"You know I'm just a peds surgeon. What do I know?" I lie.
"It's good to admit your faults and weaknesses." I can tell even under her mask; she is mocking me. "For starters, he was bold enough to tackle two unrelated specialties and then took on the challenge of fetal. He mastered all of these in less than three years. That's unheard of, by the way."
"Wow." We all fake amuse her.
"Dr. Brown, could you point out where the bleeding is coming from?" I quiz her.
"Because you don't know?"
"No, because I'm your teacher, and this is a teaching moment." I tell her.
"Here." She incorrectly points out.
"Tell me why."
"That's where the majority of the blood is coming from."
"Wrong."
"I'm not wro..."
"You're an intern Dr. Brown. You're going to be wrong more often than you are right." Callie tells her.
"The bleeder is coming from the area where the bubbles are located. It means a blood vessel was torn due to trauma." Maggie corrects her.
