I can see Gary/Mark/Robbie being a very difficult dynamic to maintain. Gary's rock solid, but the other two are flighty enough that creating a happy ever after with that OT3 would be very very difficult. I think you might be right on the money about Robbie's flirting with Mark and Gary.

You're angsty story arc would be sort of perfect, but would completely break my heart, not to mention Mark's. Mark is the one I would least like to see hurt, even if he's the one who's probably most likely to end up that way. (Poor Mark. There's something about that man that trips every maternal, protective instinct I've got. Very interesting...)

Mark/Howard/Jason, on the other hand, is very pleasing indeed. Howard & Jason are rock solid, and provide a nice support for Mark. I can see why you loved writing that fic, quite apart from the fact that it's brilliant. (I've finally formatted it for my iPod. Hooray for having apocafic whenever I want!)

Your work sounds brutal. And totally inefficient. Surely as more doctors become more proficient with computers they'll overhaul the system. Or perhaps not. You never know with bureaucracies, do you? Have fun with the TT pics!
