Shelly Curtis

Nurse Curtis was an emergency room nurse at Walker General Hospital in San Francisco at the dawn of the 21st century. She was on duty when the Doctor was brought in after suffering gunshot wounds. She brought initial attention to the Doctor's X-rays, which showed that the had two hearts. Neither nurse Wheeler or Dr. Salinger, who removed the Doctor's non-fatal bullets, gave the X-rays much credence, however. She also participated in Dr. Grace Holloway's unsuccessful cardiac surgery on the Doctor. Later, she showed that she was on first-name terms with Bruce, the ambulance driver who had brought in the Doctor. (DW: Doctor Who)
 * The novelization reveals details not present in the film. It gives her first name as "Shelly".  It also describes her as "junior" to nurse Wheeler, despite the fact that she is more prominent in the film, and played by an older actor.  The book's assertion of the relative seniority of the two nurses is thus particularly circumspect, as author Gary Russell may not have been privy to final casting details when he wrote the novel.
