Sources:
[1] General info about Grey's Anatomy.
[2] Cast/crew info (no specific details for this episode).
[3] General info.
[4] Mentions Meredith Grey as a brilliant first-year surgical intern (though the series has evolved, the source says this).
[5] General info about the hospital names (Seattle Grace, Seattle Grace Mercy West, Grey Sloan Memorial).
