    Summary

    Dr. Tony Stark (head of Diagnostics) and Dr. Bruce Banner (an older-than-average oncology resident) are acquaintances at a teaching hospital in New Jersey. They each have a great deal of stress in their jobs for various reasons:

    Bruce is not sure he’s going to make it through an entire medical residency at the age of 40, especially with Thaddeus Ross as his supervisor;

    Tony has just been saddled with a team of young residents that he did not request, his ex-girlfriend Pepper is the hospital administrator and seems to enjoy tormenting him by forcing him to do clinic duty, and to top it all off, he’s in near-constant pain from an infarction in his left arm and his friends are pestering him over his vicodin use.

    One night, after a particularly bad day for Bruce, Tony invites him to wind down at his place over beer and pizza, and things…happen. They chalk it up to stress and call it a mistake the next day, and agree that it definitely won’t happen again.

    This works out about as well as you’d expect.
