Excerpts from Trey Lancaster's Handbook: the Official Doctor's Apprentice (Totally)

  -If the wound looks really bad, say "You'll live" on repeat until Francis arrives.

  -Rule No. 4: Do not touch that jar. (You will be swatted with a ladle.)

  -If Francis says "Sit still," do not sit still. He will smack you easier that way.

  Patient Case #32: Blake Ashford (Origin of the Sofa)

  -That muscle-brained menace couldn't stand it no more.

  -Patient after patient kept perching on my bed. I said the next one owed me laundry duty— they fled like rabbits.

  -Blake– who showed up for shoulder pain– vanished, then returned hauling a loveseat—on his shoulder—and dumped it by the door.

  -Francis: pinched the bridge of his nose like the world offended him.

  -Ermin: demanded to know why a library couch had gone missing, stopped asking once he found out.

  -Trivia: No one realized that it used to be in the library—except Reid.
