KOTLC characters as medical professionals (human au)

Sophie:

Neurosurgeon. She was still considered a child prodigy, and was top of her class all throughout her school career, including medical school. After she graduated top of her class in medical school, she applied to a massive hospital in LA, thinking that would be the best place for her to just lay low, since it has so many people. She was wrong. Even though she had perfect grades, she still had to go through a lot of scut work and tedious cases before she was taken seriously. Soon, she performed an actually complicated surgery and the hospital decided they’d utilize her more after it was 100% successful. Remember how I said she didn’t get to lay low? Yeah. At one point, she is given the opportunity to operate on conjoined twins and (hopefully) separate their bodies. She knows this is a once in a lifetime opportunity for a surgeon so she immediately accepts. That surgery is 100% successful as well. What Sophie didn’t anticipate was worldwide fame. She’s in news articles on papers and talked about on TV. Sophie’s getting so many job offers from around the world, and doesn’t plan on taking any of them, but she sees a hospital in England that looks perfect for her, and feels an urge to go there. So next thing you know Soph is in the same hospital as the rest of the gang.

Keefe:

Pediatrician. Such a Pediatrician. He loves taking care of the kiddos. And I feel like all of his patients were terrified of him like we usually are as kids, but by the end of their appointment they feel so comfortable. He's cracking jokes the whole time and asking them questions about their life. He's always looking for signs of abuse, too. He knows the signs of mental and physical abuse. I feel like he took extra psychology courses for that exact reason. He makes an effort to be friendly with the rest of the staff, especially the gang, who he now considers his best friends. Elwin vibes. Speaking of Elwin, he was Keefe's mentor. He wasn't all that interested in medicine as a career until he saw Elwin for a broken arm when he was a kid. Keefe mentioned to his parents that he wanted to be a doctor, and they were overjoyed that their son chose something so prestigious. So they started paying Elwin to mentor Keefe, and eventually Elwin feels more like family than his parents ever did. He went to medical school at a fairly small college just to tick off his parents. They wanted him to go to an Ivy League. When Sophie gets to the hospital he and the gang work at, he is immediately friendly and already has a small crush, because he's heard about how amazing and skilled she is. But he's too scared to flirt cause he doesn't wanna get reported to HR.

Fitz:

Ophthalmologist. If you don't know what that means, it's basically someone who treats your eyes. I don't know, maybe I think he'd do this because his eyes are always so emphasized throughout the series, or maybe I think this way because he's always secretly wanted to do this but Alden wanted him to become a neurosurgeon like the many Vackers before him and this is his way of breaking off from their legacy. Maybe. Anyways, he and Biana went to the same medical school. They are really eachothers only support systen at this point. They love that they get to be close to each other. Again, everyone in the gang works at the same hospital, and even though Fitz isn't a neurosurgeon, he still makes bank. And his family still isn't happy with him(save for Biana). But he learns to be okay with that, as he finds a new family within the gang. And then he sees news articles in the paper and hears mentions on TV about a woman named Sophie Foster and he's immediately intrigued. She's quite young for a doctor, let alone a neurosurgeon who's operated on conjoined twins. And THEN he learns she is transferring to the hospital he works at from America. He wants to talk to her, but doesn't want to seem weird. He wishes he had Keefe's confidence. They keep bumping into each other around the hospital, it happens at least once every day. And THEN they bump into each other at a book store. They kinda awkwardly exchange greetings and then start laughing. Sophie officially introduces herself to Fitz and Fitz does the same to her. They spend like the next hour chatting about books. Fitz is head over heels.

Biana:

ICU nurse. Biana can handle chaos like a boss. She likes the lack of routine in it. Biana never really had the rneurosurgeon expectation thrust upon her cause Fitz was supposed to be the Golden Child TM, but she's always been interested in medicine. So she goes to medical school for nursing and decides to go one step further for the ICU, because as I said, Biana likes the unexpectedness. She's fantastic at what she does. She's very professional in the workplace, but will go out for drinks with her colleagues. Especially the gang. I feel like she was thinking about becoming a doctor but really wanted to build financial stability for herself before she sought out higher education. Her parents aren't paying for anything, because she cut them off after0 they cut Fitz off. She's really happy with her occupation at this moment in time, though. She knows all about Fitz's crush on Sophie, and is actually the second person to introduce themselves to her. They become fast friends and Biana will not stop pestering Fitz to just make a move.

Dex:

Clinical pharmocologist. Because science. I think Dex grew up watching his dad do cool things pertaining to the study of the body, but quickly discovered he preferred pharmacology to biology by a long shot. He loves what he does. He has the best time at work. To him, the money and benefits are just added perks compared to getting to be in a lab all day. He doesn't really know about Sophie until she gets there, kind of. When she does get there he asks Biana about her and Biana's kind of like, 'how do you not know about her?' But still explains who Sophie is and Dex is just like 'cool' and moves back to his lab. But he meets Sophie at a lunch break one day and really enjoys her company. He likes that he can openly be a nerd about pharmacology around her, and that she is a good listener. Isn't really a huge part of the gang till Sophie comes along and brings Dex with her to everything. Anyways, Dex has created multiple medicines that have saved thousands of lives. His dream is to find the cure to cancer, and pretty much decoted his life to research an experiments about it. He only ever gets out of the house or lab anymore because Biana and Sophie drag him out.

Part 2?

Oh my god I just reread that and just to be clear Sophie is of age, she and the gang are all 18+. At the beginning it sounded like she was like 15 when she was working at the hospital. Nah I just emant she was really good at school.
