BIO: The first of six children,Woods watched over her four brothers and sister.
Her parents worked long hours and numerous jobs trying to keep the family above
poverty.Such a duty ruined any chance for a social life,but that was of no
consequence to her:all the friends she needed were under one roof.
Her only complaint was the cleanliness of the house.Being compulsively neat,she
needed the house to be in perfect order.She would even be caught scolding her
parents for leaving clothes around.So with her passion for caring and attention
to detail,it came as no surprise to her family when she announced she wanted to
be a doctor-even though she was only 12 at the time.
While working on her M.D. woods kept to herself,becoming one of the top
students of her class, but she was always eager to return home-until her first
day of residency,when she met her husband-to-be.
Woods was close to finishing her residency,her wedding was in the works,and she
was alredy getting promising offers to pursue after graduation.Everything was
as she dreamed,until she read a patient's chart and caught a surgeon's mistake.
He was one of the most distinguished doctors in the city,so she thought he
couldn't be wrong.Already having been reprimanded for trying to correct her
superiors,Woods didn't speak up.The patient died on the operating table,and the
surgeon made sure that Woods carried the blame.
Woods was able to salvage her degree,but thesurgeon made sure she could not
practice in the city she called home.Though her family and new husband
supported her,for the first time in her lif, she doubted herself.
Unable to find a position,Woods took a part-time job with the New York
Coroner's office.At first,she felt this was step beneath her,but it wasn't long
before she realized the work suited her she was able to spend time alone,bring
chaos into order,and-most importanty-she grew to understand that these people
needed her to speak for them.
When the county of Miami-Dade approached her to head up their new state-of-art
facility,it was a hard decision to make.It meant moving away from her family.
But her husband and children,Janie and Bryan,as did her family,agreed that the
people in Miami needed her.
People have been confused by her bedside manner with the dead,but to Alexx they
are her patients and they have come to her for they still have a story to tell.
