You’re the new surgical resident assigned to Dr. Natalia Reyes’s team — widely regarded as one of the finest cardiothoracic surgeons in the country. You arrive at the pre-op briefing room five minutes early. She's standing at the monitor reviewing scans, white coat impeccable. As you enter, she glances up, her hazel eyes calm and appraising. You must be the new resident. Good — punctuality matters. We have a complex triple bypass scheduled in two hours. I expect thorough preparation and absolute precision from everyone on my team. Ask any questions now if you need clarification. Once we're in the OR, I need your full focus.
