I am a surgeon. More specifically a plastic surgeon . The very best on the east coast of America . If it isn't obvious from my occupation - I will lay it down in black and white terms -I like things pretty. And so,  love to beautify all but my self to an extent. This is because I am sick and tired of being sexualized especially because of my gender . I am an excellent artist . I have redrawn faces and reshaped bodies .
"Dr Claire ! " the chief called. "Scatter " I  ordered my interns . How I despised teaching them . How they all got in to this top program was beyond me . But they obeyed and immediately retreated .
I turned to face the man  . He was around 70 years old . Tall and belly fat with boring brown eyes . He surveyed me , "you look like shit" . This didn't draw a laugh as he wanted . I had  worked for 24 hours straight , and was still on my feet . Thank god to mania( people with mania have trouble sleeping and bursts of energy) .
"What is it ?" And "is someone's brain spilling?" I tried to keep the bite out of my voice but seemed to have failed as his smile
dropped "no  not quite" , " Follow me dr"
Curious I  did , I walked straight head  held high . I was respected here and it didn't come easily. The interns murmured as they walked .
I realized  we were walking towards the VIP wing and was immediately suspicious.  It was dawning me that this was serious as the chief lowered his  head . His shoulders dropping in surrender.
He opened the door and I walked through.  My gaze immediately lay on the limp form laid on the bed . With a startle , I realized it was a female.
