Having graduated from medical school and now being a full-fledged Doctor, DOCTOR Michael Peter Loucks' life is about to change again. With this, his original goal from elementary school has been fulfilled. The new goal he wasn't expecting back in fourth grade, having to find a new wife and a mother for his daughter, has been fulfilled as well. All should be well, right?

Post-graduate life is often messy, and the life of a newly minted Doctor can be especially messy. While he's earned the trust of most of his colleagues thanks to his outstanding performance as a student, now the stakes are higher, and the rules have changed. Rather than be directly supervised, he's now one of the many Doctors supervising an ongoing rotation of Third and Fourth year students. Hospital politics also begin to intrude, and more than once, Mike finds himself needing to thread the needle for more than just stitching up patients. He'll find himself forced to push the limits of his training at times, with real lives hanging in the balance in ways he never had to deal with as a student.

Outside of the hospital, having finally achieved his dream, what's next? Can he balance the needs of his professional life with those of his family, friends, band, and congregation? It's a tall order, and the strain of trying to do so does begin to take a toll on him. If he fails, can he truly be happy and maintain that sense of fulfillment from achieving his goals? The only way to find out is to read on as Doctor Loucks tackles his first year as a trauma surgeon.
