Alana Reyes

Alana Reyes was a second-year medical student at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. She worked as Dr. Logan Weston’s teaching assistant and as a research assistant in Dr. Hale’s Neuroplasticity Division. During Logan’s medical crises, she sometimes assumed teaching responsibilities and helped protect his privacy.

Education

Before her second year, Alana had solo-authored two publications and co-authored a paper with Dr. Morales. She also ran a peer-tutoring program for medical students and mentored pre-med high-school students in Baltimore. Her academic records described organized lecture notes, strong patient-interaction evaluations, and SOAP notes that faculty considered advanced for a second-year student.

Personality

Alana remained composed during medical emergencies and challenged classmates who romanticized Logan’s pain. She protected his privacy while questioning practices that treated medical crises as spectacle.

Speech and Communication Patterns

Alana communicated directly and economically. In teaching settings, her answers were precise, and her humor was dry. During Logan’s hip-lock crisis, she gave concise instructions and obtained his consent before intervening.
