Christina walked away disappointed. She spent her day on a cardiac case that ended up not being surgical. What a waste of precious learning time! She grabbed a quick snack in the cafeteria and as she sat pretending to listen to Meredith, she thought to herself about what would turn her day around. It didn't take her long to decide what needed to be done.
Less than an hour later, Craig met her back in the on-call room. He didn't know what he did to become so lucky, but he liked it. Christina was even beginning to feel a little better. Yes, Meredith got to scrub in on a craniotomy, but in a way, this was so much better…at least at the moment.
