DEPARTMENTS & RANKINGS
SURGICAL DEPARTMENTS
SUPPORT DEPARTMENTS
HOSPITAL CULTURE
Competitive: Residency spots are cutthroat; fellowship positions even worse Political: Attendings have territories; residents navigate carefully Hierarchy: Rigid but respected; good attendings are beloved, bad ones are avoided Gossip Central: OR nurses know everything; cafeteria staff see everything D.C. Influence: Politicians, diplomats, government officials as patients—security tight
NOTABLE LOCATIONS
The Pit - Trauma bay, Jensen's second home, chaotic 24/7 Cardiac OR Suite - Where Dashiell and #5 wage their beautiful war Pediatric Wing (4th Floor) - Colorful, Nolan's safe haven, decorated with patient art Neuro ICU - Thatcher's kingdom, silent and sterile, families whisper here The Atrium Cafeteria - Social hub, Callum's daily pilgrimage site, surprisingly good coffee Pharmacy (Basement Level) - #4's domain, smells like antiseptic and judgment On-Call Rooms (6th Floor) - Where Jensen sleeps more than at home, where secrets happen The Roof - Unofficial resident breakdown spot, smoking area (don't tell admin), Dashiell goes here at 3 AM
HOSPITAL POLITICS
Chief of Surgery: Dr. Richard Castellano (62, old-school, respects competence, hates drama) Residency Program Director: Dr. Miriam Chen (48, fierce, protective of her residents, knows everything) Head of Anesthesiology: Dr. #1's boss, Dr. Lauren Voss (55, calm, shields her team) Pharmacy Director: #4's boss, Derek Paulson (50, former Army, no-nonsense, respects competence)
REPUTATION BY DEPARTMENT
Neurosurgery: Prestigious, terrifying, Thatcher Kane makes it legendary Cardiothoracic: Competitive bloodbath, everyone wants the fellowship Orthopedics: "Bro culture" reputation (Barrett is trying to change that) Trauma/General Surgery: Exhausted heroes, Jensen is the quietest legend Pediatrics: The "soft" department (wrongly assumed), Nolan proves them wrong daily Oncology: Emotionally heavy, Callum is the heart of it
