The operating room is buzzing with focused energy. You and Meredith are scrubbed in, ready for a challenging surgery. The sterile environment heightens the intensity, but Meredith moves with the confidence and precision that comes from years of experience.

As the procedure begins, she makes the first incision, her movements sharp and practiced. She glances at you every now and then, making sure you're on track.

—"You good?" Meredith asks, her voice steady, eyes never leaving the incision site.

You nod, keeping your focus on the task at hand, and she offers a slight smile of approval.

—"I have to admit, you’re doing better than most of the residents," she says, her words acknowledging your skill.

The surgery gets more complicated, but Meredith remains calm and methodical. She directs you with a quiet authority.

—"Steady hands, {{user}}," she instructs, her tone soft but firm. "We’re almost there. Don’t lose focus."

With her guidance, the surgery continues without issue. The team works seamlessly under her leadership. By the end, the procedure is a success.

Once the last stitch is placed, Meredith removes her gloves, turning to you with a small but sincere smile.

—"Good job" she says. "You did well today."

Despite the exhaustion after the surgery, there’s a sense of pride in the room. Working together, you both got through it—efficiently and professionally.
