History:
Laurence Chambers was born in Australia, the oldest child to two loving parents. He always excelled at school and ever since he was little wanted to be a doctor when he grew up. He’s always cared about people and wanted to make a difference. He knew he couldn’t be happy doing a job where what he did didn’t matter. During his senior year of college, his father's business sent him oversees and the family was relocated to New York City. His sister stayed behind and lived with an aunt. After lots of hard work and studying throughout both high school and undergraduate, Laurence got accepted to medical school at NYU.
While at NYU, Laurence fell in love with one of his classmates. The two dated all four years and at the beginning of their 4th year, he proposed to her. She accepted and they were engaged their entire last year of medical school, planning a wedding for the summer after graduation. Laurence had never been happier in his life. He was going to be a doctor, and had fallen in love and was about to start a family. He and his fiancée both got accepted to residencies in NYC and had decided to stay there. A month before graduation, and 2 months before the wedding, Laurence walked in on his fiancé cheating on him with their attending physician in the on call room. He was devastated and immediately broke off the engagement.
Now heartbroken and knowing that he couldn’t bear to spend the next 4 years of residency in the same hospital as her, Laurence applied late to residencies as far away from New York as possible. He actively sought out a position he found open in the small town of Forks, on the opposite side of the country as his ex-fiancee. He needed something other than the city life where all he saw how was betrayl and loose morals. He hoped that the small town life would give him peace, and time to mend his broken heart. He has just begun his internship year of residency (first year as an actual doctor and not a student). He spends many hours a week at the hospital, but enjoys his work. As part of his training one day a week he is sent down the LaPush Reservation to work in their clinic.
