Prologue: Blue Scrubs and a Scalpel

When you're little, the question that you always get asked is, what are you going to be when you grow up? Children answer that they want to be a ballerina, a princess, an astronaut, or president of the United States.

Not me. I always knew that I wanted to be a surgeon.

Why? You may ask. The answer is fairly simple. My mother was a surgeon, a great one. Her name is Dr. Elizabeth Forbes, though everyone calls her Liz. My mother grew up in a very traditional home, the only girl in a family if six boys and the only one who finished college.

She grew up in a very male-dominated world, but that didn't stop her from being great. She was the only woman in her resident years and one out of three woman who passed her board exams. She won two Giuseppe Salvatore Awards for her research, the highest award in the nation for surgery.

My mother was a great surgeon, always thinking of the best way to make patients feel more comfortable and avoid pain. My mother was a great surgeon, but she wasn't a great mother or wife. Growing up, I always felt like my mother hated me and that I was a disappointment to her.

So even now I ask myself, what inspired me to be a surgeon? It surely wasn't mother's love. Well, the answer is rather simple.

I love to cut and I love the thrill of surgery. This is my story.

June

Caroline Forbes could hardly believe that she was standing in the middle of Salvatore Memorial Hospital, the biggest and most well respected hospital in Virginia and the one that had the number three best Trauma program in the United States.

Her mother had worked here for a couple of years before she had gotten a better offer to work for a hospital in California that focused more on research. Caroline briefly remember living in Virginia during her childhood, but honestly everything was a blurb.

Her father still lived here with his partner Steven, though Caroline had not visited him in over three years. She and her father did not get along.

She blinked her blue eyes at the lavish building. This is what she had been dreaming off ever since she started medical school four years ago. She was practically tingling with excitement, at the age of 26 she was finally a surgical intern.

Caroline didn't know exactly what her specialty was going to be yet, she just knew that she wanted to cut and be as great as a surgeon as her mom, the legendary Liz Forbes ever was. She could feel it in her bones.

Caroline felt a pang of sadness when she thought about her mom. The past two years had not been kind to Liz. She had just lost the Giuseppe Salvatore Award for the second time in a row, the surgical board had forced her to retire because her vison was growing bad at the age of 58, and she was still bitter that William Forbes had left her for another man.

Liz had spent her free time drinking from a bottle until Caroline had finally registered her in a nursing home. Something that she cursed at her every day.

Caroline shook her head, she was not going to let her mom ruin this special day for her and besides she was safely tucked away in a nursing home. Caroline entered the shiny building and sniffed the air. It smelled like medicine. And coffee.

Caroline's stomach growled. She had forgotten to eat breakfast. She looked down at the email that she had gotten from the hospital from a Dr. Alaric Saltzman. The rest of the interns were supposed to meet in room 125 F on the first floor.

After getting instructions from a nurse, she found the room which was already crowded with people. Everyone was talking around excitedly and Caroline would be lying if she said she wasn't nervous.

"You're supposed to grab a pair of scrubs and change love," she turned around and saw a boy with dirty blond hair in scrubs chewing on an apple. He pointed to the cupboard. "There's some over there. I would hurry if I were you Chief Saltzman is going to be here any minute now."

"I'm supposed to change in front of everyone?" she blurted out as she grabbed a pair of blue scrubs.

The boy raised an eyebrow. "Problem, love? You can't be an intern and be shy about seeing naked bodies."

"I'm not shy!" she snapped.

The boy rolled his eyes. "Easy Cinderella. There's room in the back of the room. No one can see you there."

Caroline sighed gratefully and without glancing back she quickly changed into her pair of blue scabs and tennis shoes. Her palms were soaked with sweat. She tied her blond hair into a ponytail and went to the front of the room when she heard a man yell. "Interns!"

A tall, dark hair man was standing there looking firm and kind of scary. His lips pinched into a small smirk as he looked at the eager faces. "Welcome to Salvatore Memorial Hospital. You've worked hard to get here, you are now a surgical intern. These are going to be the best and worst years of your life. I hope you survive."
