HOSPITAL – DAY MEDICAL PROFESSION #3 (a young male, ambitious, clever) is arguing with a fellow doctor. Doctor: You stole my surgery! Medical Professional #3: I didn’t steal your surgery. Dr. Berman asked me to scrub in. Doctor: Only after you passed off my diagnosis as your own. Medical Professional #3: We came up with that diagnosis together. I helped! Doctor: Forget it, don’t ever talk to me again. Medical Professional #3: Hey. Wait. Please. Just hear me out, okay? I’m sorry I got to scrub in on the surgery. And I’m sorry I maybe, sort of made it seem like I came up with that diagnosis on my own. But this isn’t high school. We’re doctors. Surgeons. Everyday people com in this place and depend on us to save their lives. Us. And that scares the crap out of me. Because the only way any of us are going to be able to save someone’s life is if we learn how. So that’s what I did today. I saw that there was the chance to learn and I took it. And maybe, just maybe that makes me a crappy coworker but that has nothing to do with how I am as a friend. So the way I see it is, we should be enemies when we’re in this hospital if that’s going to make us better doctors. But that doesn’t mean we have to be enemies out there. Because we’re the only freaking people who understand how crazy and stressful and god damn dysfunctional our lives are. And without friends? We’re screwed. All of us. So please, don’t write me off. Come to Joe’s. Drinks on me. Doctor: Fine.. But I’m still mad at you. Medical Professional #3: That’s okay. We’ll keep taking about it. Or you can just kick my ass at darts. Better, I let you throw the darts AT me. That sounds fun, no?? As they leave the hospital together ... End Scene ______________________________ Medical Professional #2 - Scene 1 INT. HOSPITAL – DAY MEDICAL PROFESSION #2 (a young female, confident, driven) is getting scolded by her boss, Dr. Berman. Medical Professional #3 stands there, taking the verbal lashing, but we can see her mind is always working a few steps ahead. Doctor Berman: .... It was dangerous, not to mention illegal for you to perform that procedure without a superior present! Do you understand?? Medical Professional #2: I do. But I don’t agree, sir. Doctor Berman: Excuse me? Medical Professional #2: The patient was complaining of chest pain. I paged Dr. Gavin and administered 10 cc.’s of heparin. We waited 2 minutes. That’s when we found out Dr. Gavin was tied up in surgery. We didn’t know how long it would take him to get to us. I administered another 30 cc.’s. The patient continued to deteriorate. That’s when I made the call to perform the thoracotomy. Doctor Berman: You opened a man’s chest with his wife and children standing 5 feet away! Medical Professional #2: That’s true. And I apologize for that. I should have asked the nurse to send them out of the room. It’s only in med school, they taught us that focusing solely on the task at hand was one of the most important parts of being a surgeon. I always thought I knew what they meant but, until today, until that moment where I had to open that man’s chest and put my hand on his heart, knowing that the only thing between him living and dying was me, well I guess I finally understood what they meant. I was the only person int eh room who could save that man’s life, sir. I can’t apologize for that. Beat. Dr. Berman knows she’s right. Doctor Berman: Very well. You’re excused. Medical Professional #2: Thank you. Medical Professional #2 goes to leave, but then stops, turning back ... Medical Professional #2: And sir? The patient, I heard he survived. Is that true? Doctor Berman: Yes. Medical Professional #2: Good, that’s .... good. Thank you. And the way Medical Professional #2 smiles, we can tell, she already knew the patient was going to survive. She just wanted to prove her point. End Scene ______________________________ Medical Professional #1 - Scene 1 INT. BAR – DAY MEDICAL PROFESSION #1 (a young male, charming, effortlessly talented) is having a drink after work with on of his fellow doctors, Meg. Meg: So then you just opened his chest? Medical Professional #1: I didn’t just open his chest. I paged Berman and shocked the guy half a dozen time but he kept flatlining. I did what I had to do. Meg: Look at you, sooo happy with yourself. Medical Professional #1: I’m not. Meg: You are. Medical Professional #1: I’m not. I did my job. But what you just did – – pegging me as some smug, arrogant guy that everyone love to hate... Whatever, I’m used to it. Meg: What are you talking about? Medical Professional #1: I’m good at what I do. I’m confident. And I make cracking a chest open in the middle of the ER look easy. But all through college, all through med school, people assume I’ve had everything handed to me. Like I haven’t had to work as hard as everyone else to get to this place. And why? Because I’m laid-back? Meg: Please, you’re a suck up. The way sweet talk the nurse so they’ll throw you more patients? Medical Professional #1: No, that’s just smart. Get to know the nurses’ names and they’ll throw you an extra patient now and then. Ask your attending how her kids are doing and she’s mor likely to want to spend hours locked inside an OR with you. But whatever, be a jerk if that’s what you want. Yell at people if that makes you feel better about yourself. Just don’t make me apologize for being someone people like Meg: Aw, you’ve really had a rough life, haven’t you? Medical Professional #1: Shut up. Just, I’ll buy you another beer if we can stop talking about work. We leave them there, drinking...... End Scene ______________________________ Edited by oncetherewasaway**, Aug 4 2009, 12:19 AM.
