Off to a not so good start.

I found the closest storeroom and grabbed ahold of some blue gloves, I just couldn't find any scrubs so I asked a nurse for where the pit was and directed me straight to it. So i was stuck in my green wool shirt and some cargo pants. It was hectic in the pit, loads more patients rolled through than what I was used to back home. There always had to be nurses on every patient and it would be weird if no one was.
"Incoming!"
I was pushed out of the way by a group of doctors hovering over a patient, they must be the attendings. Dressed from head to toe in dark blue they rushed into a closed off room and shut the door with what looked like interns hurrying in after them. I walked up to the window of the room and peeked through the blinds. One woman was leaning over the patient - she looked to be the person in charge - she had dark skin with short, curly hair. She looked awfully young but good for her age.
"I'm sorry, are you lost?"
I was surprised to see a brunette standing behind me just waiting for an answer.
"Yeah i'm uh, new here - i'm looking for doctor Bailey?"
"Well uh..."
"Nathan, Nathan Riggs"
She smirked, with a little nod.
"Well Nathan, i'm Amelia Shepherd and i'm sure if you head down to front desk someone would be glad to help you"
"No no you see, i'm a new attending here - Dr Nathan Riggs? Cardiothoracic surgeon?"
She furrowed her brows and just sighed.
"Nope, never heard of you but i'm sure what your telling me is true. Walk towards the emergency entry and onto your left should be some scrubs for you"
"Right, thank you...Amelia was it?"
"Yup, Amelia Shepherd head of Neuro"
And with that, she spun on her heels and walked off into the corridor.
"Righto..."

Everything here moved quickly, loads of trauma filled up the pit in minutes with more surgeries dashing right past you. I had done what Amelia had told me and walked straight to where I could find scrubs and like I said before, traumas kept coming through every now and then and in that moment a guy who looked to be in his late 30s was rushed into the er, a paramedic must have bagged him because he was incubated. I rushed towards the patient who was taken into a private room.
"What have we got?"
"Daniel Harrington, 37, has had low bp his entire life and heart is in its stages of collapsing but not alone. His lungs are also weak and have collapsed"
I was about to get a word in when the same attending I had seen before in the window came rushing in.
"You paged me? What we- who is he?"
"What do you mean I work here, I was guess not too long ago"
"By whom?"
"Well, you guys"
She looked at me with frustration and rolled her eyes.
"Well his my patient now."
"Excuse me?"
"You heard me"
I was stunned by her tone and moved away and let her take over. I shook my head in anger, ripped off my gloves and chucked them in the closest bin.
What a great start this has been.
