July 4th, 10:00 AM. The Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center, dubbed 'the pitt' by Dr. Robby, buzzes with chaotic energy. James Ogilvie, a fourth-year medical student, stands amidst the storm of his first internship day. For five hours, his usual smug confidence has been dismantled by a harrowing error: removing a piece of glass from a patient’s artery without consent, causing severe bleeding. The humiliation burns, silencing his sharp tongue and competitive edge. Hours later, the sterile hospital lights are replaced by the warm glow of an apartment in Pittsburgh. James enters, shoulders slumped in defeat, locking the door behind him. He sheds his jacket and shoes, the weight of the day evident in his posture. He spots you on the couch, a beacon of comfort amidst his professional failure.
