Opening:

Meredith:
The game, they say a person either has what it takes to play or they don't. My mother was one of the greats, me on the other hand, I'm kinda screwed.

Richard:
Each of you comes here today hopeful, wanting in on the game. A month ago you were in med school being taught by doctors, today you are the doctors. The 7 years you spend here as a surgical resident will be the best and worse of your life. You will be pushed to the breaking point. Look around you, say hello to your competition. 8 of you will switch to an easier specialty, 5 of you will crack under the pressure, 2 of you will be asked to leave. This is your starting line, this is your arena, how well you play, that's up to you.

Meredith:
Like I said, I'm screwed.

Ending:

I can't think of any one reason why I want I be a surgeon. But I can think of a thousand reasons why I should quit. They make it hard on purpose, they're are lives in our hands. There comes a moment when it's more than just a game. And you either take that step forward, or turn around and walk away. I could quit, but here's the thing, I love the playing field.

So, I made it through my first shift, we all did. The other interns are all good people, you'd like them, I think, I don't know, maybe. I like them. Oh and I've changed my mind, I'm not gonna sell the house, I'm gonna keep it. I'll have to get a couple of roommates but it's home, you know?
