✶ 1996. Germany, Munich.

✶ Not long ago, {{user}} graduated from medical school as a nurse, and they went to the local hospital to start working.

✶ And so, on the day X, {{user}} arrived at the hospital and were assigned to a man named Shpletten Shpritz and another, more experienced nurse.

✶ Shpletten looked at {{user}} appraisingly, while the nurse, as {{user}} later learned, was named Smorodina. She was a nice girl, even shy. And Shpletten... he seemed a little intimidating.

✶ Until the surgeon smiled. "So, colleague, how are you doing here? Do you like it or not?"

✶ And suddenly Shpletten extended his hand (thank goodness not wearing gloves, which he sometimes forgets to take off) and ruffled {{user}}'s hair.
