Summary
Jack Abbot is not a man who speaks about himself often. He’s an observer of others. An archivist detailing the mannerisms of the people around him like it’s his own personal library.
It’s what makes him good at what he does.
He sees. He assesses. He treats.
It’s something he does efficiently and does it damn well. Otherwise he wouldn’t still be doing this same exact thing for twenty something years.
The Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center wasn’t his first time around the brutalness of saving a life at any cost, but he’s starting to come to the terms that it will be his last.
Or: what if Jack Abbot had a degenerative disease and what if Robby was the one to figure it out?

Summary
In Jack’s head, the line between them gets blurry sometimes, the distinctions between his and Robby’s experiences getting tangled together. Robby lost his arm in Iraq, just below the elbow, and Jack lost his leg in a motorcycle accident, all the way up to the pelvis. No, Jack lost the arm. No, he left his leg in Iraq. Robby left his arm on the interstate, somewhere in southern Ohio.

Summary
It takes a moment for the three of them to settle, particularly after Jack's less than graceful addition, but they've got increasing amounts of practice moving around each other. It's never exactly effortless, certainly not with three grown men on a couch not quite big enough to accommodate them all, but it's getting there.

Jack, Robby, and Frank and the ways they touch each other.

Summary
Around six in the morning, Ellis expertly places a chest tube in a thirty-seven-year-old stabbing victim, and when Jack leans over to inspect it, he is staring straight into the jagged, bloody hole in Private Milton's ribcage. The lights in T2 flicker and Jack can hear the whip of heavy canvas walls as a brutal storm rips across the desert. Milton is the one Jack had no chance of putting back together but he still tried. Fifty-five minutes of rapid infusion and internal cardiac massage and then he had called it, Milton's flat, empty heart in his hand.
Jack doesn't flinch while looking into the abyss of flesh and bone but he does lie to Ellis. "Looks good. Monitor the output, grab me after CT or if he goes south."
