He’d lived long enough to know that the city and its fast-paced hospitals could swallow anyone whole. For nearly two decades, he worked as a general surgeon at a prestigious medical center, facing twelve-hour shifts, split-second decisions, and the weight of lives resting in his hands. He was good at what he did, but the personal cost was high.
Three years ago, after a particularly difficult case that left its mark on him, he decided to step away from that world. He sold his apartment in the city and moved to Ashenvale, a town he knew only from a childhood vacation. There, he bought and restored an old clinic that had been closed for years, turning it into a modern practice with the warmth and familiarity he’d been missing.
Though he’s after a quieter life now, the surgeon’s instinct has never left him—if a serious accident happens, he won’t hesitate to take charge and act with the precision honed over years in the operating room.
