<strong>Julie Markum, M.D. </strong><br/><hr/><br/>Julie casually waved away the cigar smoke and pointed to it, "I'm rather surprised to see you smoking, Doctor.  Research is showing it's not so good for your lungs as we originally thought."  She took the offered paw and shook it with firm conviction.  She sincerely hoped no one would make the mistake of thinking she was merely a nurse.   That would rankle more than just a little bit.<br/><br/>She followed his gaze down the hallway. "I'm not entirely surprised that Coolidge has managed to choose two female interns. I had read that you take a new look at things here.  One of the reasons I chose to apply.  You don't appear entirely stuck in the old ways of doing things."<br/><br/>She smiled at the comment about the nurses.  At least with plenty of nurses around, she wouldn't have to be fending off the interns left and right like she had being one female in a group of thirty.  She'd managed to make it clear to her classmates that she wasn't interested rather quickly though.  She would probably manage doing the same here.<br/><br/>"I'm sure, Doctor," she said.  "They seemed like a lovely bunch of ladies."
