Oh my, that is… concerning to say the least

I cannot comprehend how people manage to stay sane at this hospital...

I just finished having lunch with the infamous House. I did not want to have lunch with him. He sat down infront of me with some spaghetti and poured a whole can of chopped pineapples on it. I couldn't help but stare in disgust.

Hey everyone! I'm Dr. Francesca Scott, and I'm the new Head of Oncology at PPTH. I worked as the Head of Pediatric Oncology for a few years prior, and I'm excited to work with all of you here at PPTH! If I'm being honest, I've never run a blog like this before. Haven said that a lot of the other hospital staff have one though, and helped me set this up. I'd love to get to know you all better, so feel free to send me asks (I think that's what they're called), and I'll answer them as long as they're not offensive or not safe for work. It's wonderful to be working here at PPTH, and I hope I can get to know you all better in the upcoming months.

Backstory

Francesca is an only child. She grew up with a lot of pressure put on her by her parents to succeed academically. Because of this pressure put on her her entire childhood, Francesca feels that if she is not succeeding at everything in life, she is failing the people that she loves.

Francesca was diagnosed with a brain tumor at six. The tumor was at an inoperable size, so she underwent chemo to try and shrink the tumor. After her chemo plan ended, the tumor was still at an inoperable size. The doctors estimated that she only had a year left to live. One of her doctors convinced her parents to try chemo for just a bit longer, and after this it was discovered that the tumor had miraculously shrunk to an operable size. The doctors were able to remove the tumor, and after more chemo and radiation therapy, she was declared cancer-free. Francesca has now been in remission for 30 years. It was because of this experience that Francesca decided to become a pediatric oncologist.

They have officially been nicknamed "Wilson" at the hospital because they share many of Wilson's little mannerisms, and because they have also been married three times. Her first husband was abusive, and she divorced him after he hit her for the first time. Her second husband was the love of her life, but he died in the same car crash where Haven (he's my other OC who she's in a QPR with) lost his leg. Her third husband didn't want kids, and Francesca divorced him when she discovered that he had been cheating on him.

She was diagnosed with depression after her second husband died and Haven lost her leg in the car crash. They had depression before this point, but the crash pushed it past the point where she was normally able to deal with it. However, she often forgets to take her antidepressants due to the chaotic nature of her job.

Francesca wants to be a mother more than anything. However, she has had a variety of problems with trying to adopt and foster, and she is unable to conceive herself due to infertility caused by her chemo as a child.

Worked as the Head of Pediatric Oncology at another hospital for about three years before coming to work at PPTH.
