    Summary

    “I, was in Switzerland.”

    “The seven years you spend here as a surgical resident will be the best and worst years of your life.” Richard announced. “You will be pushed to the breaking point.”

    “I was in Switzerland, in my car, drinking coffee, about to walk into my hospital.” Cristina hiss-whispered.

    “Look around you. Say ‘Hello’ to your competition.”

    “Tell me this isn’t a dream,” Meredith whispered back. “Or it is, only just a really weird one.”

    “Eight of you will switch to an easier specialty. Five of you will crack under the pressure. Two of you will be asked to leave.”

    “We are so screwed.” Cristina sighed.

    Summary

    With practice, concentration becomes second nature, like a dancer’s posture or a fighter’s stance—not impossible to break, but easily returned to, more natural and comfortable than not.

    It’s also, not to put too fine a point on it, not a bad exercise to maintain if one is trying with some difficulty not to come undone, completely untouched, in his own trousers.

    Camp is very small, and it's very easy to be overheard when one doesn't want to. Fortunately, Gale knows how to cast Silence and is very, very good at maintaining concentration. (And Shadowheart is happy to return the favor.)
