Doug knew all about that competitive mode the interns go into when it comes to surgery's. After all it was not too long ago that he himself had been one of those interns. He just nodded when George talked about it and kept a half hearted smirk on his face the hole time to say that he understood completely. It was rare that he found a intern that was so much like what he had been like when he was a intern.
He knew he was not looking at another copy of himself but rather someone who could become as good as him or better and with inturnes... He was always hoping they turn out better then he or the next Doctor. "No they don't. It's not something they can teach you. So much like anything else in life you really have to figure it out for yourself. medical school can only do so much, that is why they turn you lose for intern ship and stuff like that. Or that's what I think." He cleared his throat and killed off the last of his drink.

"Yeah, I guess...its just something that...I dunno. Something that I never thought I would have to do." He paused, trying to figure out how to better explain that. "When going into med school, the excitement is overwhelming, and having to tell a family that someone they cared about died...it just never crosses your mind when your there. The first time I had to do that," he paused, never forgetting his first time having to break the news.
"I felt like I was going to throw up. I can look at dead bodies, I can cut them open and look at their insides...and I'll feel fine. But when having to tell someone bad news, I get a weird lump in my throat...and I literally feel like I'm going to be sick." He wasn't sure why he was telling Doug all of this; he didn't even know if he cared. But it was nice to tell someone. He didn't tell a lot of people, because they would probably make fun of him for it, even though a lot of them most likely felt the same way, but would never admit it.

Doug's brows narrowed as he listened to what George had to say about medical school and about his first time breaking the news to someone. He nodded every now and then to show he was still listening to the other man. In some ways Doug felt like a girl and like this was sharing time. But he knew better because they are in a bar and the last time Doug checked he was still a man.
Oh this was not the first time he has felt this way and was sure it was not going to be the last time. Some how 'sharing time' seemed to happen no matter if he wants it too or not. When George was done, Doug nodded and sighed, "When I first had to tell a family the news... I froze... I watched them though the door and just stood there... At last I got the nerve, went out there and told them... When it was all over..."
He paused and looked down. He managed to keep his groan in as he remembered every detail of what went on. "I... When it was over I went into the locker room but... I ended up... losing my lunch... We can just say... The janitor was not happy." He rubbed his face and chuckled out of disbelief he just told that story.
