Grey's Anatomy

Surgeons are the biggest hypocrites.

We tell our patients to rest as we work 100-hour weeks.

You don't wanna be late. You're on my service today.

I think I've been servicing you since last night.

You want me to stop?

We tell residents to have good bedside manner...

Oh.

...then we yell at them for the smallest mistakes.

You follow instructions well.

Well, I aim to please.

And that's why breakfast is on me.

I'm starving.

This feels mildly transactional.

But I'm not opposed.

Aren't you a vegetarian?

Vegan, actually. Why?

Oh, you just ordered, uh, carnitas.

That was for a coworker.

At 2:00 a.m.?

You're not the only one who eats breakfast.

We tell our kids to chase their dreams

as we constantly question our life choices.

- -

Hi. The answer is still no.

I consult on your patients.

When was the last time I referred you a patient?

-What is a substitute for vanilla? -Are you doing a crossword?

I'm baking.

Okay, you need to go back to work. Patient's name is Emma.

She's five months pregnant with severe headaches.

-Yeah, I read your emails. -So, what do you think?

Well, it could be anything.

It could be migraines, CVST. It's hard to say without imaging.

Uh... Do you think I could use honey?

One second, there's someone at the door.

What?

So, will you do her scans?

I am on sabbatical. Why are you here?

Because you cannot say no to this face.

Oh.

-No. -Come on.

Emma's waiting for us at Grey Sloan. Go. Get dressed.

God.

We love fixing everyone's problems.

But don't ask us to solve our own.

-Big night? -And morning.

It was a very hot shower.

-Well, our house is nailing it right now. -Gross.

Who knew Kwan with a girlfriend would be more annoying than Kwan without one?

-She's not my girlfriend. -Oh, Mohanty finally dump you?

No, but we are just not exclusive.

-You're both seeing other people? -He's not.

You told me you weren't. He thinks Mohanty might be.

Okay, you are not allowed to ride in the car with me anymore.

Yeah, well, I'm exclusively seeing patients.

You on cardio today?

Cardio wants nothing to do with me, which is fine.

I'd invite you to Hunt's ambulance ride-along,

but it is a party of one.

Which is also what it's like for you when Mohanty's seeing other people.

Oh.

Hilarious.

Hey. Did you already tell her?

Uh, no, we waited for you.

We don't get to do this nearly enough. Come on.

Okay. Stop questioning it and take the job in Paris.

We'll talk Tuesday. Bye-bye.

Oh, my gosh, my client is great, but very stubborn.

Yeah, I think I know the type.

Katie, this is Dr. Warren.

He and Dr. Adams will be taking care of you while I'm out today.

But before I go, we have some news.

So, we got your scans.

Your primary tumor reduced by 30%.

Mmm.

The treatment is working?

It appears that way.

Your CEA and CA 19-9 have decreased dramatically as well.

Oh, my God. I'm sorry... ...I don't know what to say.

I mean, I know that you said that you would find a way,

but I didn't know that you actually could.

-Never doubt her abilities. - Mmm.

-And you're the husband, aren't you? -I am.

- Oh. -Wh-What did she say about me?

She is a professional couples therapist.

She gives good advice.

Yeah, but-but as a pro, you know, just...

Mmm.

So, I need to head out... ...but you are in good hands.

I am glad you're feeling better.

Thank you.

Mm-hmm.

Seriously, what did she say about me?

Hey.

I've got good news and bad news. Which would you like first?

- Bad. -Good.

Patient wins.

So, the bad news is no more hospital breakfast for you.

Because I'm being discharged?

-Yes. -

Your EF is normalized,

-and your dyspnea has resolved... -

...so you'll continue PT and surveillance echoes, but you're ready.

Oh. I get to sleep in a normal bed and eat normal food.

- -Thank you.

- For everything. Okay. -Oh, yeah.

Happy to help. Nurse will be in soon, all right?

-Okay. -Come here.

'Kay.

Mmm.

Are you sure you're okay with me seeing patients today?

Yeah, you've been w-waiting to get back into the OR for months,

and I'm gonna spend the day with the girls in the NICU anyway.

I get to come home.

You get to come home.

Good morning. Are you okay? You have a headache or something?

It's preventative.

I get motion sickness.

Oh, would it help if you sat up front?

Uh-uh.

Nope, I want to experience the ride-along like one of my residents,

so I can accurately assess its merits.

Oh, I thought you were optimistic about the ride-along program

when I suggested it.

I kind of thought this was just a formality.

Yeah, well, money's tight,

and everybody has ideas for innovative rotations.

Is there something I can do to move the needle,

send you some studies of other hospital programs?

No, let's just see what the day brings.

Okay.

Welcome to Grey Sloan.

Thanks for having us. We were just meeting Dr. Kwan.

I don't have any first responder experience,

so this will be great.

Well, meet Jackie and Greg.

They will be showing us how to triage and stabilize in the field

and how they transfer patients to the hospital.

For everyone's safety, please wait for our instructions

and then follow them closely.

After you.

Oh.

- Watch your step. -

There'll be no telling what the day will bring.

Except waiting.

-There's always waiting. -

Which brings us to your first lesson,

arguably the most important.

Who knows how to play Speed?

Off to a great start.

Mrs. Tucker in bed five has been discharged,

and I hear there's another empty bed in the on-call room.

-How can you think about that right now? -I think about it a lot.

You just changed a wound vac on a 92-year-old man.

Yeah, and it reminded me that life is short.

Okay, but we have to keep it professional here.

We're dealing with people's lives. It's serious.

[patient 1 whimpers, breaths heavily]

- Hey. - Hey, oh, what happened?

I slipped on baby oil. I think I busted my hip.

Okay, let's get you to a bed.

This way.

Yes, work is very, very serious.

You good?

Yeah, I thought I'd feel weirder after being gone for so long,

but feels like I was just here.

Yeah, that never goes away.

Uh, Dr. Montgomery. Dr. Shepherd, I didn't know you were back.

I'm not back.

Well, I'm on scut all day today, so if either of you needs a resident--

It's just a consult, Millin.

Emma, this is Dr. Shepherd, who I've been wanting you to see.

Emma and I met on the road. She's from Clark County, Idaho.

Dr. M's my birth control hookup, or was.

I finally gave in to my husband. He's wanted a baby for years.

Well, it's very nice to meet you.

Tell me about your headaches.

Uh, they've been constant for two months.

My husband has had to take care of all of our animals.

-Animals? -Mm-hmm. We run an animal sanctuary.

Cows, horses, goats, alpacas.

I always thought fur babies were enough,

but now that I'm pregnant with a human baby,

-I'm pretty attached to her too... - Mm-hmm.

...and all the cute onesies I can't stop buying.

Any numbness, tingling, or weakness? Squeeze my fingers.

Uh, no, but the pain's gotten worse.

Okay. Tell me when you see my fingers.

I've seen my OB and been to the ER. Everyone says it's hormones.

I see them now. Is that good?

Millin, I need a stat MRI head without contrast and a wheelchair.

What's happening?

-You've lost your peripheral vision. -W-What does that mean?

It means we need imaging to see what's going on.

Okay.

-Speed. - Yeah, you're kidding!

So, Jackie, on an average day,

how many calls for EMT services do you get?
