"Joyce Jordan progressed slowly from Girl Interne to M.D., the change becoming complete around 1942. But the theme of a woman's difficulty in a man's world remained. In the earliest days it was a progression of suitors. Then Joyce faced the "necessity of choosing between a brilliant career as a physician or becoming the wife of a wealthy man," hospital trustee Neil Reynolds. At last, married to foreign correspondent Paul Sherwood, Joyce found happiness threatened by Paul's bitter and neurotic sister, Margot. Eventually Paul was written out of the script, and Joyce practiced medicine in the little town of Preston, becoming a surgeon at Hotchkiss Memorial Hospital." --
