"Smyth," we all automatically corrected the doctor.

We stared expectantly at the jumpy-looking young man in scrubs standing before us.

The four of us darted down the hallway in the middle of his sentence, stopping seconds later after realizing we had absolutely no clue where we were going. The nervous looking 20-something quickly strode, head down, towards a room a long ways down the hall.
