Maia walked into the hospital taking in the smell of the antiseptic she'd grown familiar with— the hospital smelled of cleanliness. She made her way to the locker rooms, Lucky had sped here making Maia earlier than what she intended to be but she didn't mind.

"Woah look who's early today" Jeremy spoke taking a seat on the bench. Maia closed the locker she stuffed her bag into before speaking to him.

"I'm always early, what do you mean" she scrunched her brows.

"After me"

"Ugh whatever" she waved him off, before tying the laces on her sneaker she noticed was lose.

"Someone is trying to get their first solo surgery I see" Jeremy grinned while he wiggled is eyebrows.

"Aren't we all"

"Exactly"

"Whatever Jeremy"

Maia rushed out the locker room uninterested with the conversation— Leaving Jeremy behind to talk to himself, she turned into the training class taking a seat, waiting momentarily for the chief to enter, giving them their assignments for the day.

A few minutes went by before the resident class filled the room, and a few minutes more before the chief entered.

"All right, you two you're with doctor Walter in cardio, you two with doctor Stein in neurology, you two in ortho with doctor Lincoln" he pointed out the pairs as he spoke, pausing a second before getting to Maia and another girl who Maia wasn't very familiar with, "you two will be with me in general surgery"

Maia nodded her head accepting the orders, following behind the man with the other girl once he dismissed the residents. This wasn't Maia's first time in general surgery, it wasn't as exciting as trauma since most the surgeries were lap chole's, and hernia repairs. But Maia enjoyed surgery no matter what form it came in.

"All right ladies, try to contain the excitement when I tell you this, todays patient is a 27 year old male with a unknown object lodged in his rectum" both Maia and the other resident faces scrunched in displeasure from the diagnosis.

"This is exciting how?"

"Good question doctor Reid, this is Exciting because you two will be handling the extraction" the chief spoke pointing his fingers between Maia and doctor Reid. He motioned for the two to follow him in the room, greeting the patient who sat very uncomfortably in the bed.

"This is doctor carter and doctor Reid, they will be doing your surgeries and taking care of you, ladies take the floor" the chief extended his arms out, gesturing for the women to take over before taking his place in the background, silently observing them.

"Hello Mr Arnold, may I ask how we got here?" Maia questioned as she prepared to take the man's vitals.

"I'm embarrassed" he said looking away, "you know this isn't how I would want women to see me"

"We're all professionals here, it's okay" doctor Reid reassured as she placed a thermometer in his mouth, the temperature reading normal.

The man appeared visibly nervous as he watched the three doctors look at him with concern.

"I was with this woman, who's into very interesting things... she's very experimental in bed" he spoke nervously, wiping his eyebrow as if to catch sweat.

"Mr. Arnold, don't tell me you have a uh..." the chief spoke his face confused by the man's story.

"She brought up the idea of butt plugs and at first I thought it'd just be her, but she went on about gender equality and how as a man I shouldn't let it hurt my masculinity... so I uh yeah it's really up there doc" he looked around the room his face flushed red, he really wanted to run right out of there with the embarrassment this brought him, but he settled for gazing out the nearby window.
