Summary
“You’re the new doctor, correct? From the medical office down the street? I'm Dennis, but most call me father, of course.”
Robby blinked, surprised. He hadn’t expected the priest to already know about his presence in the community, but it was a pretty small town. “Uh, yeah, that’s me. The name is Michael, Micheal Robinavitch.” he replied, stepping forward. “I’m...not really sure why I’m here, honestly. It’s kind of a long story.”
Dennis chuckled warmly, the sound light and easy on Robby's ears. “This place has a way of drawing people in, even if they don’t know why they’re here at first.”

Summary
When people said relationships can hurt, Dennis was pretty sure they didn’t mean this kind of hurt. He’d pictured emotional turmoil over arguments about who’s doing the dishes or what Netflix show to watch, not having to swallow his pride - and apparently, a bit of blood - because of what could generously be called a stupidly enthusiastic decision.
-- -- -- --
Or, Dennis was so excited to finally take the next step with Michael. Everything was going great, until he woke up in the middle of the night with the taste of blood in his mouth. What other choice was there but to go to emergency room...where they both work.

Summary
Set 16 years before S1.
Ten-year-old Dennis Whittaker was left waiting on the steps of a strange building in Pittsburgh, hungry and afraid that his family had abandoned him. When desperation pushed him to dig food out of a trash can, he was caught—and saved by a gentle doctor who offers him food, warmth, and stories about medical school. Years later, on the first day of his rotation, Dennis meets that same doctor again.
——————
“Hi, I’m Dr. Rabinovitch. You can call me Robby.”
The world seemed to still. Suddenly, Dennis was ten years old again, and the warmth and sweetness of banana bread surrounded him.

Summary
“Whitaker, you need to sit down. You have a concussion.” The voice next to him tries to tell him, and it's almost familiar this time.
“Yeah I realized that, I am a fuckin' doctor. Student doctor. Whatever.” he replies, turning to squint at the man sitting next to him. “Look, can you just get Dr. Robby? He’ll tell you I'm fine, I gotta get back to work, I got… patients and shit.”
The man looks at someone behind him, some expression he can’t quite figure out. He starts to say something else, and—oh shit he’s gonna throw up fuck—he tries to lean away and not vomit all over anyone else. He doesn't quite make it.
“Shit,” yeah, he definitely ruined that guy’s shoes. Whoops. “Sorry.”

Summary
The vending machine loomed tall over Dennis. The light from it cast a soft glow over his face as he gazed at the numerous multicolored packages of snack foods. Nearing the end of his shift, Dennis was undergoing decision paralysis; there were way too many options.
He knew his blood sugar was starting to drop, could feel the beginning signs of fatigue, irritability, and a subtle shakiness, and he couldn’t ignore the text from Michael telling him to eat something.
-- -- -- --
Or, Dennis can totally handle his diabetes, until McKay pulls him into a trauma case mid snack and his blood sugar drops critically low.

Summary
The first one he chalks up to negligence, someone received the wrong instructions for a postmortem examination. An unfortunate mistake, but these things happen. The second one means someone is making this kind of mistake twice, which is already twice more than it should have happened, and whoever's teaching down there sure as hell should have caught the error and corrected it by now.
The third one is what makes him sure this isn't an accident. Someone is stealing human remains in the hospital.

Summary
Dennis should probably only blame himself when it happens.
He knows driving tired results in accidents. Hell, he’s seen the aftermath of those. He’d even told Trinity to never be one of those people brought into the Pitt after falling asleep behind the wheel.
And still.
He's clearly not good at following his own advice.
Or, Dennis falls in love, finds out he hates physical therapy, and owes Trinity a new car. Not quite in that order.
