#1) Dr. Jennifer Keller's voice was almost lost amongst the cacophony of the operating room. "Time of death, 0843." She ripped off her gloves and peeled back her surgical gown. Tossing them into a bin near the door, she charged out of the room.
She'd lost patients before. When she was an intern, during her residency, when she was on as an assist. People died. That's what happened. But this was the first patient she had lost as primary, and it shouldn't have happened. The woman was so young.
The Chief of Surgery, Dr. Frank Jameson passed her in the hallway. "You're going to have to get thicker skin, Keller. Or you're never going to make it."
And become an automaton lacking any sort of bedside manner like you? No thanks. The years of striving for a career in the cut-throat field of neurosurgery had taught her when to speak her mind and when to keep her opinions to herself

#3) To say she was nervous was putting it mildly. Dr. Jennifer Keller checked and rechecked her pack and adjusted the straps to her tac-vest. She was one of four civilians standing in a concrete room in a secret underground bunker getting ready to walk through the Stargate to the "alpha site". Oh, and by the way, the "alpha" site was on another planet. She still had a hard time believing it was all real

#5) It was supposed to be an easy day. Dr. Jennifer Keller was going with Teyla to the Athosian village, she had packed lollipops for crying out loud! Instead, she found herself limping through the forest with a guy named Nabel who possibly sold out the Athosians to some sort of bad guys called the Bola Kai. Oh, and they were being hunted by those bad guys and maybe there was a Wraith worshipper involved. It had turned out to be a really bad day

1. The first three times someone asked for "the real doctor, not - are you an intern?" Actually, the fourth time as well, because that person didn't believe her when she assured him she was a real doctor. The fifth time, she did her best to laugh it off - what else was she going to do - and by the eleventh time, it was a running joke with the staff. At least until she moved to a new hospital, and had to start all over again

I sense a pattern to these responses...Keller getting treated as a child without competence or knowledge of her own skills. It's enough to leave anyone furious. Especially with Carson.
