Dr. Perfect
By Penelope Rivers
Roger both hated and loved Dr. Matt Ryan of Anne’s Mercy
Hospital. For one, they had grown up together and had been next-door
neighbors, but Matt had always been an over achiever: top of every
class, student council president, volunteer group leader. They had also
gone to the same high school, and Roger hadn’t spent a day without
hearing the words, “Matt Ryan.”
Roger, though, was his family’s underachiever and was the only
child of two parents that had more than enough to say about their
neighbor’s son: “Why don’t you act more like the Ryan’s boy? He got

Valedictorian!” “Why don’t you go to medical school like that boy,
Matt?” “Why can’t you be more social, more like that Matt?…” The
only halfway decent thing that Roger had ever done, which was still
not good enough in his parent’s eyes, was to go to nursing school.
Now, years later, he had thought that he was over and done with
that Matt Ryan stuff. That was up until a week ago when a fellow
nurse had responded to a question that he had asked about the new
doctor that was supposed to be arriving: “The new doctor? I think that
his name is Matt Ryan or something…”
And so Matt Ryan came to plague Roger’s life again, sixty miles
away from home with all of the hospitals in-between. Yet Roger, with
all of his envy and pain, was just like everybody else: he was
completely head over heels in love with Dr. Matt Ryan, despite the
fact that he was a guy. His deep felt love was one of the reasons why
he left in the first place, besides his parents. What was the point of
having a love/hate relationship with a man that everybody adored?

Matt was probably going to end up with a model-esque creature that
also had a graduate degree—basically, another “perfect person,” just
like Matt.
That was why, as Roger leaned downward as he smiled at an
eight-year-old girl that was leaving after having gotten stitches, he
was shocked when Matt remained longer than necessary, prolonging
their closeness. They had talked a few times—many, in fact—but
there was always a hidden edge to every personal conversation. Roger
thought that this was probably due to the fact that Matt was more than
aware of how much better he was, despite how he never said it. That
was another reason why Matt was so perfect. He was humble to the
point of it being damnable.
“So…” Matt said, fumbling around with his notes. Once again,
the conversation took that awkward, edgy turn that it always did.
Roger silently looked down at his navy blue scrubs, suddenly feeling
unnaturally short. “You’re off in fifteen minutes, aren’t you?”
