(Inspired by the episode "Chief Surgeon Who?")

Being Frank

Never first. Often last.

Why him and not me? I have more experience than he does, a thriving practice back home. I'm a major and he's a captain. I know the rules, I follow the rules… he's not even on the same planet as the rules.

It's not fair, not fair, not fair.

Always an underachiever, my father used to say. You could do better. Why don't you try harder?

Everyone's against me, I would try to explain.

They still are. They don't like me, don't respect me, knock me down.

I'm not sure I can keep getting back up.
