"Bring your stethoscope"

[peggin]

We pick up, again, nearly two weeks after the last time we saw our boys, and Reid is berating Nurse Gretchen. Luke arrives on time to see Nurse Gretchen walking away in tears and tells Reid he's there to coach him on his people skills

But a chief of staff needs to deal with people problems on a regular basis, and not always with people he already knows and likes. So I don't have a problem with the idea that, if Reid wants that job, he might need to work on his people skills. (It's only when they start implying -- or stating flat out -- that Reid's poor people skills makes him something less than a person that I start seeing red.)

Yup, I agree. Luke, to me, never wanted to change Reid--I mean, the guy fell in love with him even though "he's rude. And cold. And rude." Luke loved Reid just the way he was. And this whole thing was orchestrated because Luke wanted Reid to get the top job (remember that this will mean that Reid will permanently stay in town, though we all know that is definitely not the main reason). But yeah, Reid didn't need changing, just a little less attitude toward his future employees.

SELF-PIMP ALERT: I explored this briefly in one of my fics a while back: Changing Dr. Oliver
