Cast : Isobel "Izzie" Stevens

CHARACTER

Seattle Grace Hospital
Intern Quarterly Evaluation

----------------------------------------------------
Physician's Name : Isobel 'Izzie' Stevens
Service : Surgery
Evaluator's Name : Dr. Calliope Torres
----------------------------------------------------

Strengths:
I guess one could say Stevens really cares for her patients well-being? They all seem to really like her and people request her in the Clinic because of her bedside manner. And I guess she did donate 8 million dollars to build a free clinic.

Weaknesses:
Stevens can't seem to find the line of professionlism because let's face it she's always crossing it. Examples: She's gotten romantically involved with a patient, she flirts with other women's husbands, she's anonymously paid for a patient's surgery and she just speaks her mind. She's WAY TOO PERSONALLY INVOLVED. Even her own interns think she's a little in over her head. They all talk about her behind her back. But who's to say it's not deserved.

Past Performance at SGH:
Although I've heard rumors that Stevens has made a couple of saves as an intern (apparently she drilled burr holes by herself on the ferry or something), it should be noted that she spent a significant chunk of her internship on probation.

Additional Comments:
Confidentially, I'd like to say I'm not sure why Stevens is still even allowed to step foot in this hospital after the whole Denny Duquette matter. But, I guess I'm not only Chief Resident, not Chief of Surgery.

Interview Transcript
Seattle Grace Residency Program

Candidate For Internship: Isobel Stevens
Interviewer: Barclay Faust, M.D., Associate Director of the SGH Residency Program

INTERVIEWER:
So, Isobel.

ISOBEL STEVENS:
Call me Izzie.

INTERVIEWER:
In your application, Izzie, you refer to yourself as very "self-reliant." How so?

ISOBEL STEVENS:
Let's just say my parents weren't always there to support me financially.

INTERVIEWER:
But they were there for you emotionally, that's what counts.

ISOBEL STEVENS:
Not really that either.

INTERVIEWER:
Well, at last they provided you with four walls and a roof over your head.

ISOBEL STEVENS:
We lived in a trailer.

INTERVIEWER:
Well, you've come quite a long way.

ISOBEL STEVENS:
What's that supposed to mean? Because I no longer live in home with a parking break, I'm a better person now?

INTERVIEWER:
No, not at all. I just meant, you must've worked hard, saved a lot of money.

ISOBEL STEVENS:
And I'm debt-free.

INTERVIEWER:
Really? That's a lot of debt to erase. What were you doing while in med school, practicing medicine? [laughs]

ISOBEL STEVENS:
This is funny to you? This is my life we're talking about medical school is expensive. I had to do whatever I could to pay for it.

INTERVIEWER:
Oh my god, you were a stripper.

ISOBEL STEVENS:
No! What kind of girl do you think I am?

INTERVIEWER:
It's just that when you said "had to do whatever I could" I thought you were implying took your clothes off or something. laughs Thank goodness I was wrong. So what did you do?

ISOBEL STEVENS:
Does it really matter? I mean, it's in the past. My grades are stellar. My recommendations are examplary. Do we really have to talk about this now? During the interview? It was my understanding that this was just a formality, anyway.

INTERVIEWER:
Okay. [Puts down pen] Interview is over. You seem like Seattle Grace material. But I'm curious I get a lot of med students asking me about debt reduction. What's your secret?

ISOBEL STEVENS:
Mumbles something barely audible.

INTERVIEWER:
What was that?

ISOBEL STEVENS:
Modeling

INTERVIEWER:
Runway Model?

ISOBEL STEVENS:
Lingerie

INTERVIEWER:
Oh, Well, at least you weren't pole dancing.
