Katie Bryce

Katie Bryce was Meredith Grey's first patient, diagnosed with an aneurysm. She returned ten years later with a repeat aneurysm.
==History==
===Pageants===
Katie competes in pageants and her talent is rhythmic gymnastics. She seems to be quite good at it as she was ranked highly in her pageant.
===Sprained Ankle===
Katie, while competing in a pageant, fell, hit her head, and sprained her ankle. She told Meredith about it as she was pushed around the hospital when Meredith got lost.
===Aneurysm===
Katie was later brought to the hospital after having multiple seizures. The cause of the seizures was a mystery, so Derek recruited the interns to help him figure out the cause. Cristina and Meredith paired up to find the solution. While they were going over research and discussing various options, Meredith had an epiphany. She remembered Katie telling her about her previous fall. She believed that fall had burst an aneurysm. Derek had doubts, but agreed to check. He ran a scan and found out that Meredith was correct. Katie was bleeding into her brain, which caused the seizures. Meredith scrubbed in with him and they operated. ("A Hard Day's Night")
===Repeat Aneurysm===
Ten years after her first surgery, Katie returned to the hospital after passing out at work with transient weakness and headaches. She was upset because she asked for Dr. Shepherd and got Amelia instead of Derek. A CT showed a new aneurysm, much larger and more dangerous than the first one. Her surgery went well despite the danger and she had no neuro deficits. Afterward, she asked Meredith what happened to Derek and Meredith just said it was a long story and told Katie to take care of her brain. ("My Next Life")
===Meredith's Hearing===
On the day of Meredith's hearing to determine if she would lose her medical license, Katie was among those who testified on her behalf. She talked about being treated by Meredith on her first day as a doctor. She said Meredith was green but the only one who could figure out what was wrong with her. Since that diagnosis allowed her to continue to live her life and have a baby girl, she wanted to give Meredith a little help in return. ("My Shot")
==Relationships==
===Familial===
At the time of Meredith's hearing, she had a newborn baby girl. ("My Shot")
