On Deceptiveness

NOT WHAT YOU ALL THINK

Derek Shepherd was a really recognized doctor, he was a surgeon who had studied at Stanford University and was developing a new breaking investigation to produce a quick noninvasive way to diagnose every disease through a blood test. This invention consisted in a pill that had the best mechanism inside the blood stream and it was so complex that only him and his crew could understand it.

He was financed by a surgical grant given to his own hospital where he had previously competed against the top ten of  all surgical fellows he had.

He had a beautiful baby girl named Zola who he had adopted and had a new baby boy, coming soon, with his wife Meredith Grey, who was also a ground breaking surgeon. They had developed and incredible cure for Alzheimer’s disease and they were the perfect couple: no fights, just love and balance between work and family and they were forming an empire for their children to follow.

Meredith’s and Derek’s purpose had always been to help

people, to be caring, they themselves had gone through a lot when they were kids, specially Meredith who had to experience her mother committing suicide, blood all over the kitchen and calling 911 when she was only 4 years old; in addition, she was left by her father who was an alcoholic and never came back to look for her. They wanted a different story for their children and were going to achieve it, no matter what.

It was August, Derek had been developing his surgical trial for about five months, Meredith was still very supportive but wanted everything to be over soon after this was over she wouldn’t be left out and would start her own research, so that Derek could help with the kids.

Meredith was having rough months, Dr. Webber who was the chief of the hospital in that moment, treated her with privileges, she was so outraged at this because she didn’t understand why he thought he was like in debt with her, or so it seemed. She tried to cope with everything the was going on the best she could.

Five months later, Derek stopped his surgical trial of a sudden no one knew what had happened, he said the money the grand offer wasn’t enough for the second stage of his investigation and shut it down.

No one really knew what happened behind the walls of the

house of this family, they fought all the time over who had made the biggest changes and who was superior, they left their kids always in day care because they were so busy thinking about their careers that forgot they were transforming into their parents.

Derek was going nuts, he was acting weirdly each and every day and the hospital could sense it.

It was just until one day, when the police arrived, that everyone knew that he was using his surgical trial to mascarade his drug dealer company and that every cent he used for the investigation could had never been won by another fellow, it was all orchestrated perfectly.

As if this wasn’t enough a new surgical fellow came to work at the hospital, but he turns out that Dr. Webber had had an affair with Meredith’s mother, he had been the one to separate her family and he had put her through that miserable childhood and he had never cared about it and on top of that he had had a baby with Ellis, so Meredith had a sister, her kids had an aunt.

Finally, this is why Meredith, since then, always says: “You never know what’s coming, so be prepared, life always takes the most unexpected turns for better or for worse.”
