r. David Edelman, a surgery resident at
Detroit Receiving Hospital, met nurse
Nichole Stephens at work.
It wasn't during lunch in the hospital cafeteria or
while discussing a patient's condition. Their first
contact was during urological surgery.
After surgery ended, Dr. Edelman, 27, made a
joke to her and she joked back.
"That was the ice breaker," he said.
He soon asked other nurses about Stephens,
found out she was single and phoned her several
days later for a date.
"Her Outgoing personality was what attracted
me," Edelman said of Stephens, who was then a
nursing student at the Medical College of Ohio in
Toledo.
Their first date was dinner and dancing at a
Southfield restaurant.
