FAMILY.

TL;DR.
though born in seattle, quinn maddox's earliest memories of the city would consist solely of the summertime, which she spent every year up until the age of sixteen with her father, a local clinicial college professor
it was through teaching that lloyd barnett had met his future wife, scarlett maddox--top student in her med school class, and the first person to make sure you knew it too
a love affair ensued, but most likely would not have ended in a marriage, if not for scarlett falling pregnant at the end of her second year, giving birth to their daughter, quinn, in the middle of her clinical rotations
the two were divorced by the time quinn was just two, and scarlett was matched with her top choice residency program across the country in maryland, where mother and daughter promptly moved to
if you asked quinn, she'd tell you that she practically grew up inside an operating room, had never a doubt in her mind about what it was she was going to grow up to do, especially as her mother's name began to draw traction in the surgical world
she followed (almost) exactly in her mother's footsteps--top of her class from high school to college to medical school, matched with her first choice residency program, even fell in love with someone who she felt truly understood her and her ambitions, enough so that a ring was placed on her finger...everything that she'd planned for, coming true
but like most dreams, it seemed that quinn's had been too good to be true when it was discovered that her mother had been involved in falsifying positive results on a clinical trial in order to receive government funding
before quinn could even have time to process the potential consequences for her mother's, her idol's, actions (whispers of prison time, the loss of her medical license), backlash had begun to strike her--at first, isolation from her fellow interns, followed by snide comments, complaints made to the hospital, even patients beginning to refuse her care
quinn ended up dropping out at the beginning of her second year, breaking off her engagement and getting out of baltimore, which had suddenly begun to feel as if it were closing in on her
spent the last year traveling, actively avoiding the news (and her mother's phone calls)...but medicine was her calling, and her time away from it only made that all the more clear
applied to and was accepted to seattle central hospital's residency program almost a year ago, repeating her intern year underneath a new name (quinn barnett, her father's last name) in hopes of avoiding any judgement on her mother's behalf
