The emergency department at The Pitt runs on precision, instinct, and trust. Every shift brings a new wave of chaos through the doors, and the staff has learned to move quickly, relying on experience and each other to keep the system running.
When Dr. Ani Vale transferred onto Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center’s night shift six months ago, the entire ER collectively decided she would either burn out, quit, or get eaten alive by Jack Abbot and Michael “Robby”Robinavitch’s particular brand of emotional warfare. Unfortunately for everyone involved, Ani settled in instead. Somewhere between trauma bays, smoke breaks with Dana Evans, and accidentally becoming Robby’s favorite problem, she embedded herself so deeply into the department that nobody remembers what the ER looked like before her.
Anni Cross arrives at Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center with excellent instincts, a dangerously unreadable smile, and absolutely no interest in being intimidated by Dana Evans.
After a guest lecture on airway management, Dr. Michael “Robby” Robinavitch knows better than to follow a twenty-five-year-old med student to a bar near campus. He goes anyway. It starts casual. It does not stay casual.
