Introducing, PTMC’s newest loser med student: Puck Callahan!
My Pitt OC!!! More info and traditional sketch below the cut :)
- when I say Robby gets mad at him for “zebra hunting,” I mean that due to his own conditions, experience, and research makes him very quick to spot conditions that aren’t necessarily rare, but are currently considered to be by the broader medical community (POTS, EDS, MCAS, HSD, and similarly treated conditions)
- Robby also misgenders him quite frequently in the first few weeks of him working in The Pitt, Javadi tries to correct it and Robby absolutely does not like that, but it takes Abbot saying something for it to finally get through his head.
- along with HSD, he gets migraines (usually due to tension) and has autism and ADHD
- he is allowed to wear Doc Martens and prefers them to the traditional “clogs” or non-slips that other doctors and nurses might wear, because they provide ankle support
- he was head over heels for Trinity immediately upon meeting her, and she had to let him down easy (or as easy as Trinity could) and explain that she’s a lesbian. This makes Puck even happier, though, because he has the realization that Trinity sees him as a guy
- he is 1 and a half months on t at the time of his first day (Pittfest day), and wears lightly compressive tops as opposed to binders while on shift. Why? Because it’s not safe to bind for 12 straight hours, and he knows that. Puck is a healthy binding habits king.
- complicated/strained relationship with parents, very close to his 2 siblings.
- lives with his older sister
- trinity has made it her life’s mission to set up him and Mel
- special interests include: bugs, comorbidities of chronic conditions, and Doctor Who
- clumsy, not in the way that Whitaker is clumsy/accident prone, but in the way that he is eating the tile constantly (HSD often causes poor proprioception, as can AuDHD)
He’s my boy and I love him dearly :) hope you all enjoy!!
