Ambitious Doctor Vows to Make Westside Hospital "One of the Best in the World"

In a major shakeup at Westside Hospital, veteran physician Dr. Joan Ridley has taken over as the new chief of internal medicine. Ridley, who recently joined the staff, has wasted no time in laying out her vision for the hospital.

According to Felicity Huffman, who portrays Ridley on the hit Fox series "Doc," the ambitious doctor is determined to make Westside "one of the best in the world." Ridley has warned the hospital staff that they will face an official evaluation in just 2 months, and some may not survive the process.

Ridley's tough stance is driven by her desire to transform Westside into a true medical powerhouse. She sees her former mentee, Dr. Amy Larsen, as a key part of this plan. Larsen, who is rebuilding her career after a traumatic brain injury, is described by Ridley as "one of the best things [she's] ever been involved in."

As Larsen works to regain her memories and medical license, Ridley is pushing her to be the best she can be. However, this has put Ridley at odds with Larsen's friend and neuropsychiatrist, Dr. Gina Walker, who is using unconventional methods to help Larsen recover.

With a clear vision and unwavering determination, Dr. Ridley is set to shake up the status quo at Westside Hospital in her quest to make it a global medical leader.
