INGRID WELLS

+ protective, tactful, loyal - aloof, competitive, lonely

Ingrid is a born and raised New Yorker.

A middle child of three, one older and one younger brother. She was always competitive with them joining in with exactly what they would do.

Her parents were always very supportive of all their children.

When Ingrid came out as a lesbian in her teens that didn't change and she's always been able to feel authentic and safe.

Medical school had always been the plan so after completing a pre-med degree she went right into it.

She loves being able to help people and from early on in her practise she knew tat she wanted to be able to help as many people as possible no matter what their ailment was.

Whilst her bedside manner can sometimes be a bit abrupt she is a good friend and a good doctor.

Over the years though she has felt that New York isn't where she wanted to be. It was her home but she didn't always feel comfortable there. Liking to help people she often struggled with referring a patient somewhere and then not seeing them again.

On her 50th birthday she decided to take the plunge and moved to Maple Creek.
