Keats and Milton

Reiss never did do too much to the very best of her potential; the haphazard, slipshod, almost-drug addict daughter of the Chief of Surgery. Sure, there were flukes, like the 4.8 GPA she somehow pulled out of her ass senior year.

it's not until she encounters the impossible girl in Cardiothoracics with terminally challenged lungs and an oxygen tank called Mrs Rodriguez to boot, that she finally finds someone worthy of the full brunt of all her saved up could-have-beens and almosts.

We all have our afflictions, it's just that Reiss's came with a defunct respiratory system.
