description: Love and on-the-job medical training are rough on each other. Even in sunny California interning has all the charm of a fraternity hazing. Despite the fatigue and pressure, Terry manages to romance another young doctor, Winnie. The pair steals small earthly delights, even on their impossibly demanding schedules and even when stupefied by exhaustion. Terry takes solace in rock and roll; Winnie just recharges herself with more work and responsibility. She seems completely dedicated. She actually likes the rigors and the testing, likes her authority. And she is fast developing a steely sense of her own superiority and status, and the inadequacy of other staff members (about which she is painfully direct). She is made ever more confident by her new found power, while he is humbled by it and by the humor and heartache of the situations he faces daily at this epicenter of the human condition. Both Terry and Winnie will be profoundly changed by their initiation into medicine, as will their chemistry as lovers.
