The key to being a successful intern is what we give up. Sleep, friends, a normal life. We sacrifice it all for that one amazing moment, that moment when you can legally call yourself a surgeon. There are days that make the sacrifices seem worthwhile. Then there are the days where everything feels like a sacrifice. And then there are the sacrifices that you cant even figure out why you're making.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Meredith: Hey.
Derek: Well hey.
Meredith: Uh you picked up Doc?
Derek: Yeah, he' s home.
Meredith: He seems to be doing much better.
Derek: He seems to be doing good.
(They both smile before Meredith cracks up in laughter)
Meredith: I'm not laughing at you.
Derek: No.
Meredith: No it' s just ah you know bad sex isn't really something that wives want announced to the dirty ex-mistress.
Derek: You' re not the dirty ex-mistress. You' re a friend. She' s your friend. I'm your friend. You know we' re all ... friends.
Meredith: But you didn't tell her?
(Derek pauses before he shakes his head no)
Meredith: Uh.
Derek: No. How' s your day going?
Meredith: Great.
Derek: Good.
Meredith: The vet asked me ... if we ...
Derek: What? What he ask you?
Meredith: If we were together.
Derek: Oh ho.
Meredith: And I set him straight.
Derek (walking out smiling): Good day Meredith.
Meredith: You too Derek.

A wise man once said you can have anything in life if you will sacrifice everything else for it. What he meant is nothing comes without a price. So before you go into battle, you better decide how much you're willing to lose. Too often, going after what feels good means letting go of what you know is right, and letting someone in means abandoning the walls you've spent a lifetime building. Of course, the toughest sacrifices are the ones we don't see coming, when we don't have time to come up with a strategy to pick a side or to measure the potential loss. When that happens, when the battle chooses us and not the other way around, that's when the sacrifice can turn out to be more than we can bear.
