MENTOR!JACK ABBOT WHO . . .
β‘ immediately takes you under his wing when he first lays his eyes on you β a second year med student, looking around the emergency department like a deer in headlights.
β‘ shows you around the ED; introducing you to the rest of the night shift staff, showing you the break room, and making sure you understand the charting system.
β‘ guides you through your first emergency trauma surgery, manually moving your hand with his wrapped around your wrist. murmuring a "there you go" in your ear when you do it right.
β‘ congratulates you when you do your first intubation, handing you a mug with coffee from the break room, telling you to "relax for a sec, i'll take over your patients until you're done."
β‘ stares you down from afar when a patient or nurse tries to flirt with you, his eyes glazed over with pure protectiveness and something close to jealousy.
β‘ notices every little detail about you. the way you stand so stiff in a patients room, how you fidget with the stethoscope around your neck when you're anxious, how you're too nervous to actually talk to the other night shift staff, how you only go to him when you have a question.
β‘ makes sure you eat something during every shift, randomly tossing a sandwich that he stole from the food cart at you, a quick "eat." slipping past his lips before he walks away.
β‘ always asks for you specifically when in a trauma bay, taking any opportunity he can to be close to you and teach you anything he can (even if you already know how to do it, he's still mumbling a small "i just wanna make sure you're doing it right." before guiding you through it.)
