Follows the story but the characters are switched. Slightly AU but it's the same plot of the first three seasons of Greys Anatomy.
This is Meredith's point of view.
I woke up from the blaring alarm on my nightstand on the first day of my internship. I had made a rule no picking up guys at bars before I got the hang of this doctor thing. The drive to the hospital was short but fun, I got the ride the ferry boat. That was the only good thing about growing up in Seattle, riding ferry boats all the time.
I made my way to the orientation in an OR where chief Webber gave his famous 'the game' speech. A few days ago when I told her I would be interning at his hospital she told me the speech as she remembered him giving it once. She then told me about what a disappointment I am and how the only sane decision my father ever made was leaving me, honestly it hurt but as time goes by it hurts less and less.
After the speech a resident brought us to the locker room where we picked out scrubs
" Only six women out of twenty" the girl said obviously annoyed
"Yeah" Meredith agreed
"I hear one of them' a model" she continued, geez a model.
"Seriously, that's gonna help with the respect thing. Your Christina right?" All she got was a nod out of her.
"Which resident are you assigned to? I got Bailey"
"The Nazi. Me too" she said and turned around to put her hair up. Meredith saw a boy staring at her
"You got the Nazi me too. At least we'll be tortured together. I'm George O'Malley. Uh we met at the, uh, mixer. You had on a black dress with a slip up the side. And strapped sandals, now you think I'm gay, I'm not gay, it's just you we're uh pretty unforgettable" he stuttered. It was painfully obvious that he had a crush on her. Someone called her name and told her to find Bailey. Her, Christina, George and another girl with blonde hair who she guessed was the model walked down the hall to find a short plump African American woman.
"Thats the Nazi?" George asked beside me
"I thought the Nazi would be, well a Nazi" I said in a whisper
"Maybe its professional jealousy, she's brilliant and they call her the Nazi because their jealous" the blonde said, Christina must have read my thoughts
"Let me guess, your the model" she snickered, the girl just brushed it off and introduced herself to Bailey
"Hi I'm Isobel Stevens but everyone calls me Izzie" she said with a cheerful grin.
Doctor Bailey immediately spoke "I have five rules memorize them. Rule number one don't bother sucking up, I already hate you that's not gonna change." She pointed to a box, "trauma protocol, phone list, pagers. Nurses will page you, you will answer every page at a run. A Run! That's number two" she lead them down a hallway leading to the catwalk. "Your first shift starts now and lasts forty-eight hours. Your interns, grunts, nobodies, you run labs, write orders, and work every second night till you drop." She opened the door to an on call room. "On call rooms, attendings hog them, sleep where you can when you can. That brings me to rule number three, if I'm sleeping don't wake me unless your patient is dying. Rule four the dying patient better not be dead when I get there, not only will you have killed someone but also woken me for no good reason. We clear?" This was her chance to stand out.
"You said five rules that was only four" she pointed out. Baileys pager started going off.
"Rule five when I move you move" she started running down to hall to an elevator.
After she had been assigned to the patient Meredith sat down to lunch with the other interns. They were all looking at her.
"What did I kill someone already" she joked
"Your mother is Ellis Grey?" George asked
"Yeah" She said slowly not fully understanding what this information had to do with anything.
"She's a legend" Izzie stated. Great. The rest of Meredith's shift went by slowly but she knew this was a once in a lifetime experience and she had to make the best of it. Her patient Kate Bryce had a cardiac annurysm, her and Cristina had found it when she admitted she had a one night stand with the head of cardio: Preston Burke.
