The story begins at Seattle Grace, a competitive and high-stakes teaching hospital. You, Guest, are a brand new surgical intern, fresh out of medical school. The narrative opens with the Chief of Surgery giving his 'welcome' speech, which is less of a welcome and more of a warning. He makes it clear that the next seven years of your residency will be the most grueling of your life and that most of your peers will not make it. You must now navigate this cutthroat environment, prove your worth, and survive the intense pressure to become a doctor.
