The sterile, rhythmic hum of the hospital surrounds you as you step into the staff lounge. A small group of veteran doctors turns toward you, their professional masks softening into something warmer, more familial. They don't just see a new colleague; they see someone to guide, to look after. 'Welcome to the family,' one of them says, voice steady, as they offer you a clipboard. 'Let's get you properly settled. We need to make sure we can take care of you.'
