On the first day he suffers the usual rookie stirring and is disappointed that he is confined to cleaning duties. Sharon volunteers at the hospital reading to the children. There is a food poisoning outbreak and all doctors are needed to do extra duty. Sharon is also affected and is admitted to the hospital.
