Meanwhile at the clinic, Dr. Ken's loyal, but oh-so-irritating staff, includes Damona, the sharp-tongued receptionist; Clark, a faithful nurse who is a confidante and partner-in-crime; Julie, a sweet, na�ve resident who's relentless optimism and quest for romance are a constant source of curiosity and irritation; and Pat, the hospital administrator, who never misses a chance to put the screws to Dr. Ken and his staff.
