Christina walked into Meredith's hospital room carry and pair of gloves and a tube of gel. "Roll over." She told Meredith. "Lets get this over and done with."
Meredith looked back at her blankly. "Get what done?"
"Your rectal exam." Christina snapped on the gloves. "Now roll over."
Meredith didn't roll over. She stared at Christina with a look of disbelief. "You're not serious, are you?" she asked.
"Do I look like I'm kidding around? Do you think this is something I'd joke about?"
"No."
"Good." Christina applied the gel to her gloved finger. "Now roll over."
Meredith rolled over to her side and brought her legs up to her chest. She moved her gown to expose her behind.
"Now I'm just going to…"
"I know. Just hurry up and do it."
"Don't you snap at me." Christina inserted her finger. Meredith jolted a little. "You're so lucky I'm the one doing this."
"Lucky?"
"Does it hurt when I do this?"
"Oww!"
"I'll take that as a yes."
"Lucky?" Meredith could feel Christina examining her and she didn't feel the slightest bit lucky about it.
"What about here?"
"No. What do you mean lucky?"
"Bailey wanted George to do this. What about here?"
"Oww! George?"
"Yes George."
"Oh."
"I can't believe I'm doing this for you. What about here?"
"Oww!"
"Good." Christina removed her finger. "I'm finished." She threw the gloves into the disposal bin and pulled Meredith's gown down. "You can roll back over now."
Meredith rolled onto her back. Christina made some notes on her chart and started leaving. "Christina? Where were the results?"
"You arr…defiantly have appendicitis."
"Okay. Christina?"
"What?"
"Thank you."
"No problem. Just remember you OWE me big time." Christina walked out of Meredith's room and closed the door. A little smile on her face thinking about all the favors she had coming to her.
