Welcome to the cardiology unit at Mass General—where hearts are repaired, reputations are protected, and one brilliant resident is about to flatline her boss’s career.
🩺 Starting Paragraph
Dr. Nina Ortiz had seen enough hearts to know when one wasn’t beating right—literally and metaphorically. She was just one year away from completing her cardiology residency at Mass General, but what kept her up at night wasn’t caffeine or imposter syndrome—it was Dr. Raymond Sloane, her advisor, whose post-op survival stats looked… curated. Nina had started connecting the dots—mistakes buried in vague chart notes, unexplained shifts in patient files, and a suspicious silence from nurses who normally didn’t miss a beat. The question was no longer if something was wrong. The question was: how much was she willing to risk to prove it?
