Grey's Anatomy

Say you're in the O.R...

Repairing a vena cava, when suddenly, everything goes to hell...

I think we should practice our statements to the judge.

I think you should stop worrying about it and relax.

I could help you with that.

Derek, we have 36 hours before we have to convince a judge that we're Zola’s parents.

We are Zola’s parents.

But they don't know that.

And for all they know, we... hate children.

We feed cute little kittens to a dog we keep in the backyard.

Meredith.

I'm just saying, they don't know us.

All we have to do is just stand up there and speak from the heart.

That's all the convincing they'll need.

- Okay? - Okay.

So you cut this, suture that...

and soon that crappy situation is a thing of the past.

I missed you this morning. Is everything okay?

Yeah. I just wanted to get a run in before work.

Okay. Well, uh, I gotta get upstairs

if I'm gonna beat Shepherd to rounds, so I'll see you later?

Too bad you can't meet all of life's challenges with a surgical scalpel.

Yeah. All right. I'll see you later.

I mean, you could try.

- Going up? - Nope.

Yeah, you are.

Ooh, Avery. Today's the day. You, me, cross-facial nerve graft.

You pumped? I'm pumped.

- All right. - Get pumped.

But I'm pretty sure that'd be considered assault.

Dr. bailey, I've been going over this islet cell data.

And I think that-- Dr. bailey?

Are we not going to the mouse lab today? Because I--

we've got bigger things to worry about than mice, Grey.

Like, um... guinea pigs?

Are your feet as quick as your wit?

Move 'em.

Ooh, sorry, Karev. I'm gonna need your esophageal atresia.

Oh, and you have a pyloric stenosis. I might need that one, too.

What are you--why?

Well, 'cause we have a prospective Peds fellow coming in day,

and she's being courted by all the big guns-- U.S.C, Johns Hopkins, Chop--

and--and Hunt asked me to help to make sure she got the red-carpet tour,

and that includes scrubbing in on a couple of surgeries.

Wait. Whoa, whoa. You’re already meeting people?

Well, it's a little early, but when someone with Polly Preston’s resume

wants to observe in your hospital, you make time.

Justine, these three bubble-like spots?

Those are your aneurysms.

J-j-just a second.

Um, sorry. I didn't hear a word. Say again. My aneurysms.

Horrible things. What are they doing now, growing?

Is that why the God-awful headaches?

One has sprung a leak.

Great. Go ahead. Say it. Say I told you so.

He's been warning me about this for years, and I have been avoiding this surgery.

Fine. Okay.

But it's gonna have to wait until I'm done with my book.

Dr. Grey, what are the possible consequences of not fixing a warning leak?

Stroke, hemorrhage, death.

Dr. Grey, what are the possible consequences for a botched clip?

Stroke, hemorrhage, death.

So I'm dead, and my book's not finished.

I can't do that to my readers.

I just need to find a way to get Kate to the bridge

where she's supposed to meet Nathan before she's pulled back in time.

- After that, I'm all yours. - Justine...

Yeah, between your voice and my leaky aneurysm,

I'm having a bitch of a time focusing, so... could you... please?

When I say this is a very important patient,

I mean, she is very important to me.

I do not like it, but I have a very full schedule today,

and you will have to be my proxy.

No one touches this patient but you.

You will run every test I ask for.

You will report every result back to me personally.

This woman has lost a husband and a son in this hospital.

I will not have another O’Malley lost under this roof.

O’Malley? George's mother is our V.I.P.?

- Meredith Grey. - As promised.

It's been so long. Oh, you come over here and give me a hug.

This is so freaking cool.

I bet it never occurred to you to put this on your wish list.

How's that coming, by the way?

Why? Do you need it today?

Because I can't-- um, I'm not done.

You do get that this is supposed to be fun, right?

Right. I need more time.

Um, do you mind, um, just... Moving more to your left, please?

Your husband's in the gallery.

I know.

Henry's been begging for a ride-along.

I figured, if you're gonna observe a surgery, this is the one you want to see.

How are we doing, Dr. park?

Just a few more minutes, and my guy down at U.C.L.A.

Will have the heart he's been waiting on for over a year.

Okay. Let’s roll.

Got it.

Make sure that connection is secure.

This tube connects directly to the aorta.

That's right, and this tube removes waste.

- Got it. - Dr. park, your hospital's on the line.

Look at that.

She's about to catch a flight to L.A. and not even know she left the body.

- Damn it. - What is it?

My guy arrested. They weren't able to resuscitate.

- He's dead? - Damn it.

It's all dressed up, and no place to go.

Grey's anatomy season 8 episode 08

here, let me get it.

It says here you've had surgery three weeks ago

at Seattle Pres for a gallbladder removal?

I've gone back there a couple of times,

and they always tell me I'm fine and send me back home.

Uh, bring me a 20-gauge just in case, and benzoin.

And, you know, it's freezing in here. Have someone take a look at that thermostat.

- Yes, doctor. - I'm going to palpate your abdomen,

and you let me know if you feel any discomfort, okay?

The boys insisted I do my surgery somewhere else,

after what happened here with Harold and... and Georgie.

She's got some mid epigastric tenderness.

We should check that gallbladder.

Uh, have you been experiencing any fevers at all, Louise?

- Any pain, uh, vomiting? - Yes, actually, I have.

Mrs. O’Malley, those aren't good things.

I know. I'm sorry.

It's just that... look at you.

You know how proud it makes me to have you as my doctor?

Thank you.

Grey, let's get a C.T., C.B.C., lytes, and a liver panel,

and let's get another couple of blankets.

I kept hearing Georgie's voice saying, "mom, "get a second opinion.

Go to Seattle Grace. They'll take care of you."

We will, Louise. We're gonna take very good care of you.

A doctor. You're all grown up.

Looks like Columbia’s got a good match who's already consented.

We're contacting them now to arrange pick-up,

but it will be hours before they arrive.

In the meantime, her vitals need to be monitored and lactate levels checked hourly.

Okay, so I'll find an intern to babysit.

Oh, I, uh, I'm not leaving her with an intern.

- You're not serious. - Dr. Yang, this is a beating heart in a box.

I'm very serious.

And you need more time to finish your wish list anyway.

Right? Page if you need me.

Shepherd, I can't approve this.

I'm not asking your approval.

I'm giving you a heads-up, as a courtesy.

Ah, I have to be at a board meeting.

Well, don't let me hold you up.

Yikes. These are intense. Are these patients of yours?

They will be.

I went looking for patients who were told no by every doctor they've seen.

- So what are you gonna do? - Tell them yes.

Tell them I will do my best.

It's not just me. It's you, too.

- You ready? - Me?

I... y-yes, of course.

What's this?

Uh, Justine Campbell’s, uh, A.M.A. Forms.

- She's leaving against medical advice so... - Oh, so you're not ready.

- What? Why? - Yes. We're saying yes.

If you can't get her to say yes to a simple surgery that will save her life,

how do you expect to tackle that?

Tear those up.

Get her to say yes, and I'll let you jump on one of these.

Okay? What do you say?

- Yes. - Damn right.

Come on. Tell me I'm paranoid or something.

- You're paranoid. - Thank you.

Although, she did throw a softball at his girlfriend.

I know. Screw this.

You know, I can't be around Sloan today.

I... just take me off plastics, just for the day. I gotta clear my head.

I am not gonna rearrange the whole surgical schedule just 'cause you're having girl problems.

Just suck it up.

You guys ever hear of a Polly Preston?

Uh, chief resident at the Brigham?

She's only my number one peer role model.

You're a freak, and I hate you.

What are you working on today, Karev?

A fat lot of nothing now. Why?

How would you feel about a nerve graft?

I would feel great about a nerve graft.

- Fine. - Thank you.

The pain's getting worse?

Does it look like it's getting better?

- I know what can really help. - What?

- Clipping your aneurysm. - Cute.

Look, I'm sure if you call your publishers and you tell them,

- they'll extend the deadline. - It is not about a deadline.

It's about my readers out there, who are waiting for me to finish a series

that they have been following for ten years.

You're really that popular?

Wow. You really know how to kick a girl in the ego, don't you?

I'm--I'm sorry.

We don't get a lot of time to read around here.

Uh, what about your family?

I-I mean, I'm--I'm sure that they wouldn't want--

do you see any family sitting with me, Dr. Grey?
