I was born Robert Gregory Chase, son of Allison Cameron (Chase), and Robert Chase. I'm 9 years old and when I grow up I wanna be a doctor. This is my story.
I was born on my mom's birthday. To this day she still says I was the best birthday present ever. My parents named me Robby after my father and grandfather and Gregory after the... to quote my parents "narcissistic son of a bitch that brought them together." I love my parents. People say I'm gonna hate them when I get older but I don't think I will. My mom and dad are the reason I wanna be a doctor when I grow up. For one thing they're both doctors, and on another note I did do most of my growing up in a hospital. But the big reason is that one day I was watching my parents asset in a surgery from the big glass observation room when the patient's heart stopped and the defibrillator wouldn't work. As one of the nurses ran to get another crash cart my parents reached inside of the man's open chest, grabbed his heart and squeezed. The man's heart started beating. They held his heart...his life in they're hands... and they gave it back to him. I wanted to do that. Help people, save lives!
When I was born my mom was on maturity leave to take care of me for a while and then her and my dad starting taking alternating shifts so someone could be home to take care of me. Of course working for Dr. House doesn't always make that the easiest so sometimes my parents would have to get a sitter or leave me in the hospital daycare room. My mom and dad didn't want strangers raising me and with alternating shifts my parents didn't get to see much of each other. Sooooooo when I got to be old enough and after Dr. Cuddy gave her approval I started spending my days after school at Princeton Plainsboro Teaching Hospital. After school I ride my bike 10 mins to the hospital, lock my bike up in my parents car, have a snack, do my homework, do about an hour of volunteer work, and then... pure bliss. I get to roam the hallways of the hospital learning and seeing and on occasion "doing." Don't worry I'm not treating anybody haha. Sometimes my dad on his breaks will take me to the surgical lounge and I'll work on my stitches on a pig's foot. and I just love to go to the lab with my mom because she lets me sit on her lap and look in all the microscopes. I figure if I listen, watch, and learn as much as I can now that I'll be a shoe in for a top medical school! Also maybe I'll get to help a few people alone the way.
As far as my volunteering work in the hospital goes this is pretty much my job description. I pick up x-rays and lab results and bring them to doctors. I pick up urine and blood samples and take them to the lab (not my favorite part of my job). Stuff like that. When I'm not "working" or running-a-muck in the hospital I'm having fun! I am only 9 after all. I love baseball. Watching it, playing it, collecting baseball cards. I also like basketball and soccer (or as my dad calls it football) but baseball's my game. I play the piano. Dr. House's been teaching me a little bit but I also have a teacher I take lessons from every other week.
So other people in my life. Well first lets start with Dr. House. He's a jerk. Nooo doubt about it. But he's nice, well... he can be nice. When he wants to be. I like him though. We play together, go out for ice cream, hang out. It's great! Maybe not to my parents or Dr. Cuddy, but thats only because he's usually spending time with me when he's suppose to be working. Next is Dr. Cuddy. I really like her and she really likes me. I like talking to her. She's almost like a second mother to me sometimes. She lets me watch TV in her office (as long as I keep the volume down). Then there's Foreman. He... doesn't really like me. Mom says not to take it personally cause Eric's not the biggest fan of kids in general. She says he'll like me better when I'm older. Foreman ok in my book though. Last but not least there's Dr. Wilson. I don't really spend that much time with him but he's nice and really funny. Well I guess that's it... for now.
Like I said, my name is Robby Chase. This is my story. Enjoy.
