Riverdale Medical Center

A twelve-hour shift where nothing waits its turn.

The automatic doors sigh open and the air changes — cooler, cleaner, faintly like citrus and antiseptic. Morning light stretches all the way down the main corridor.

You're shadowing today, which everyone here treats as a technicality. Within four minutes someone hands you a badge, points down the hall, and says the sentence that runs this whole building: "Follow whoever's moving fastest."

Six departments. One day. Go where you're drawn.
