Meredith opens up saying:

The game they say the person either has what it takes or they don’t.

Meredith wakes up with a one night stand. She says he has to go because she can’t be late on her first day of work. She goes to say goodbye but forgets his name. He turns to her and says DEREK. She says Yeah Derek. We don’t need to do this, I’m going to go take a shower and you can let yourself out. He just smiles as she goes upstairs.

All the Interns are being introduced to the Hospital (Seattle Grace) and Meredith walks in late.

Meredith meets Cristina and George. George is all over her, noticing what she was wearing the first time they met. She then meets Izzie. They all have the natzi (Dr. Bailey).

HOUR 1:

The first emergency comes in. A 15 year old girl who is having convulsions. Every Intern gets a case, and Meredith gets the 15 year old girl. They stabilize her and Meredith needs to take her for test. Meredith is lost and the girl just keeps talking on how she is lost and she starts to drive Meredith crazy.

Izzie gets stuck doing erectile exams and she isn’t having fun.

George gets a patient with a heart condition and needs to take Blood out, but can’t seem to find the vein, Dr. Preston Burk comes in and takes over. He later chooses George to do the first surgery.

Meredith is told to talk to Dr. Shepard and sees he’s Derek. She calls him Dr. Shepard and asks what happened to Derek? He tells her she took advantage of him, he was drunk and good looking and she took advantage. She says she was drunk too and she didn’t take advantage. He wants to see her again, but she refuses and says that is not professional and storms out of the room. Derek stays with a smile on his face.

George begins his first surgery while all the interns watch. They bet he won’t make it and Meredith sticks up for him saying they should want there fellow interns to pass she bets he will make it. George starts off good but then freezes and when the heart monitor starts going down Dr. Burk pushes him out of the way calling him a Pansy.

Meredith gets a beep for Katie (15 year old) 911 page. She goes rushing to her room only to find her wondering when she’ll get out of there cus she had a pageant to attend. Meredith tells her that it is not funny to have her paged when nothing is wrong with her. She walks out of the room upset.

Izzie needs to put some meds in her patient but she is afraid to wake up Dr. Bailey. She doesn’t know how to do it, so she has to wake her up. Dr. Bailey gets upset and goes to help her. She says next time the patient better be close to death or with a tag on his toe.

Alex is another intern in the group. He introduces himself to Meredith acting cocky and knowing it all. He calls Meredith a nurse and she takes offense to his Macho attitude. George walks up and starts talking saying he knows Meredith but Alex brushes him off and tells him to get lost.

Meredith gets beeped again but she takes her time and when she walks in Katie is having another convulsion. Katie’s heart beat stops and Meredith works to bring her back. She finally brings her back when Derek walks in and asks why he wasn’t beeped sooner. He yells at her to get out and then Dr. Bailey yells at her as well.She just walks off, Cristina sees her and calls for her. She goes out side and throws up, she then tells Cristina to not say anything to anybody.

24 HOURS:

Katie’s parents want another Doctor. They say if Dr. Shepard can’t figure out what is wrong then he isn’t the right doctor. How could they not know what is wrong?

Derek tells the Interns they need to work together and find out why Katie is having seizures. Who ever finds out first can scrub into the surgery.

Cristina and Meredith work together. Meredith says she doesn’t want to scrub in and that she’ll let Cristina take all the credit. Cristina wants to know why Meredith doesn’t want to work with Dr. Shepard. She finally tells her it’s because they had sex. Cristina says was it good? Meredith just ignores her and continues working on the case. Meredith thinks she found out why Katie keeps having seizures and tells Cristina to follow her. They find Dr. Shepard in the elevator and they tell them that she fell on her ankle doing her routine in a pageant the doctors didn’t think anything of it but it could be an Aneurysm. Dr. Shepard first doesn’t believe them but says they have to try and see if that is it. They take Katie into x-ray and find that she is bleeding internally. Derek tells Meredith she can scrub in. Cristina gets upset and storms out.

The patient George told the family he would be okay passes away, and Dr. Burk gets upset that he would promise such a thing. Is he God? Now he has to go tell the family that he passed away. The family gets upset and tells George to just leave. The wife breaks down in tears.

Meredith asks Derek if he chose her for surgery because they slept together. He tells her yes, but then tells her of course not, he chose her because that is her patient and she should be there till the end.

The Chief asks Alex a question and he can’t answer it, he asks if anyone knows the answer and Meredith tells the answer perfectly. He says he knows her she is the image of her mother. Welcome to the game.

Meredith speaking:

I can’t think of any one reason why I should become a surgon but I can think of a million why I should quit.

She goes on to say their lives are in their hands.

Meredith takes the chance and becomes a team in the end of the surgery and help out.

I can quit but heres the thing, I love playing the field.

Cristina tells Meredith good surgery.

She tries to apologize in her own way. You should get some sleep you look like crap. It’s not possible and Cristina walks away.

Derek comes out and Meredith says that was amazing. That was such a high and I don’t know why anyone does drugs. Derek says “Yeah” Meredith: “Yeah”
I should go do this says Derek, Meredith says you should. Derek says I’ll see you around.

I made it through my first shift, we all did, the other interns are good people you would like them I do.

She then walks into a nursing home and talks to a women who turns out to be her mother. She tells her about how she is going to keep the place and maybe get roommates. Her mom has Alzheimer’s and doesn’t remember Meredith. Saying I think I used to be a Doctor. Meredith looks at her and says you are mom you are a surgeon.

End….
