The Maverick Doc

Maybe not for breaking a promise, but I do hold grudges. So don’t fuck me over and we won’t have a problem.

I’ll take your word for it.

Well I’ll be looking forward to when you tell me about how bad your grudges can get. I could use a cautionary tale every once in a while. It’s been a bit since I got to enjoy some dark humor, unless you count A series of unfortunate events. It’s a really fun read

I used to think that too until I became something that does bad things without..

I dunno maybe I do these things because I am a bad person? Maybe If I was better then I wouldn’t eat people. 

Well, uh, what has you in such a macabre mood?

Work. It becomes rather difficult and doesn’t really allow much time to decompress... People do fucked up things and you can see it all behind the lens when you work in medical.

I have four sisters, so there were five of us running around. Utterly obnoxious isn’t even close - but you’re right. Most of the memories are nice to think about. Sometimes. But ah, yes, my father has a curry recipe he won’t share evne to this day. It’s my favorite meal he’s ever made.

Oh, you don’t have to worry about that. I don’t go to hospitals. 

Having that many siblings must’ve been nice growing up. Wow that’s certainly many. My parents passed before I was lucky enough to get younger siblings. But PLEASE. So how do I get invited over for dinner for your father?

You sound like me I’m not really someone who cares too much about promises, if I’m being honest, but I’ll keep all that in mind. I’ll take the references, too. Just to see what I’m getting myself into.

I definitely find that hard to believe. You seem like the type who’ll hunt me down for breaking a promise which is not a bad thing. But I’m a saint and you can ask all my friends and I am positive that they’ll support me in that. I’ll let you take their word over mine.

That’s Wow you’re just I have a girlfriend Don’t get too ahead of yourself. Sometimes we make promises we can’t uphold. And in a place like this, that’s dangerous

Well I’ll be sure that I’ll be completely prepared for whatever promises you intend to hold me to. I can be reliable when I’m not being sarcastic... or impulsive... or arrogant... I’ll be sure to send you my references so you can hear them for yourself.

I didn’t realize that medical school required much Latin work– beyond the general root words and prefixes and the like. Why did you translate the Odyssey? There’s an abudance of poor translations already in existence Was it for some sort of medical school assignment?

Well, I will say this– better you than me! I’m afraid I’ve got no mind for STEM, so more power to you for doing all that you do.

My professor while being a little bit of a sadist, thought it was smart for us to have a deep understanding of the language. Hearing the medical terminology and being able to translate it on the fly would put us all ahead of the curve of other interns during our residency. Now I have it ingrained in my mind, and to a certain extent he was right it’s rather easy to instantly be able to work out what a disease, or even medication is just by its name.

Excuse you, I am always right. Also, I can’t believe you’d slander my good name like that—insinuating that I forced you into wearing them. Here I am, trying to protect your good, sexy name, and you’d do me dirty like that? What a betrayal. I should write a song about it.

Shut up, it doesn’t count if you’re a kid. That’s cheating.

That definitely has yet to be seen. I’ll give you once every full moon at best. Often enough to be surprising, but spread apart so nobody expects it all the time.

Admittedly, I think she was just trying to show off that she spent a lot of time in England for school. I’m more of a spicy food type of person, but I won’t lie and say I don’t get the odd craving for chocolate once in a while.

Ah, yes. You mentioned you’re a doctor right? The most I do is go running, but I can’t exactly brag about my healthy lifestyle since most of my meals are take out.

Attending school in another country is always fun. I wish I had siblings. That’s definitely an experience I never got but it sounds utterly obnoxious in the moment but fun to think about later on after the math. But spicy food became a norm in my family, my grandmother makes a mean cauliflower curry.

Don’t hate me for being right, babe. The minute those shoes go on, all your love interests are gonna sashay away, right out the door. Mmmmm, hard pass. Sequins are gaudy, and sweaters aren’t really my thing. Would I look cute in one? Absolutely. But I don’t aim for cute, it’s too low a bar.

You’re rarely ever right so it definitely will take a lot of getting used to if you’re able to make this into a regular thing. But believe me shoes on and I can still keep attention on me. Its in the confidence, they’re a conversation starter where I bring up the awful friend I have who forced me to wear them. My grandma raised me and I was lucky enough to hide all the sweaters she had me in, but best believe I set the bar for cute in those.

Whoever decided those were fashionable deserves to be burned at the stake. While we’re on the subject, though—I know it’s been said a million times but I feel like people truly do not take it seriously enough: crocs. Look, I get it, they’re comfortable… which is especially useful in the medical field, mister doctor, but still. Fugly as hell. You put those one, you turn into a dad, and not the hot kind. 

Excuse me, but toss me a pair of crocs and I can promise you I’ll be the hottest dad at ALL the PTA meetings! They’re comfy as hell... I don’t own a pair but I definitely resent you thinking that I couldn’t pull them off. I’d take that challenge easy. Now I would give my last dollar to see Mr Musicman in sequins AND OR a knitted sweater.

I’d love to share with I’m good with favors You shouldn’t make promises around here. Especially ones you can’t keep.

Any promises I make with you

Honestly would absolutely put others before himself, would complain the entire time about saving everybody else's ass. Even if he had a clear way out, he'd grab you off that hook and hop to dear god he could survive afterwards.
