Beginning

Meredith:

 I am a rock. I am an island. That's the mantra of pretty much every surgeon that I've ever met. We like to think we're independent, loners, mavericks. That all we need to do our jobs is an O.R., a scalpel, and a willing body. But the truth is, not even the best of us can do it alone. Surgery, like life, is a team sport and eventually, you've gotta get off the bench and decide which team are you batting for. 

Ending

The thing about choosing teams in real life, it's nothing like it used to be in gym class. Being 1st picked can be terrifying, and being chosen last isn't the worst thing in the world. So we watch from the sidelines, clinging to our isolation because we know as soon as we let go of the bench, someone comes along and changes the game completely.
