Grey's Anatomy

doctors spend a lot of time

focused on the future...

planning it...

working toward it.

but at some point, you start to realize,

your life is happening now...

Any changes overnight?

No.

not after med school, not after residency,

right now.

this is it. it's here.

blink and you'll miss it.

Oh, it's the chief. somebody better make a coffee run.

You all look like hell.

i gotta be in surgery in ten minutes.

Um, mer, will you let me know?

Yeah.

We should go, too. it's probably gonna be a while.

Shepherd said she'd wake up in the morning.

What did he tell you? was that all crap?

What did he say?

He said it may be a while.

She's gonna wake up.

Stevens still isn't awake.

And i'm having something of a day even aside from that.

So... don't take my face personally.

It's just my face today. did you tell her?

Uh, you should tell her,

And don't take her face personally. okay, well...

On behalf of the department of pediatric surgery,

I'd like to welcome you to the fellowship program.

You're in! we're gonna get you a pair of wheelie sneaks.

congratulations.

All right.

I know i didn't support you during this process.

In any event, i am behind you now.

I'm trying to be a big person here.

How about you meet me halfway?

wake up. wake up.

Wake up. wake up.

Wake up. wake up.

I have a headache.

I slept, cristina.

Last night, i slept for the first time in...

i slept.

And, uh, i don't know,

Hugging o'malley because you slept?

No, i hugged o'malley 'cause he's got great news,

Which i'll let him tell you, but, yeah, i... i guess,

Yeah, maybe i hugged him because i slept.

And that's because of you,

Because you came with me to see my mom,

And then i slept, and i slept without nightmares.

That's not a small thing, cristina.

that... that is everything.

i can be a better man.

I can be a better man for you, and if...

I hope, you know, if you'll let me,

I can be a better man with you.

No, don't say anything.

Just... just think about it, okay? okay?

What--

Mm.

Dr. bailey, i need to tell you something. oh, not now, o'malley.

I know. it'll be quick 'cause i gotta

Get to the o.r. to scrub in with the chief.

Now i think you're gonna be mad at first,

But i'm about to do something important,

And i'm very sure about this decision,

And i-i think eventually, you're gonna be proud.

But, you know, before that,

You're probably gonna be like...

"what did you do?!"

i'm... i don't mean to imitate you-- you call that quick?

I joined the army to be a trauma surgeon.

I report for duty tomorrow.

You did what?!

Yeah, that's where i thought we'd start.

You know, something's going on with george. what?

Owen hugged him. they were happy.

Well, we don't hug when we're happy.

Are you better?

What?

You know, with your therapy. uh, whatever.

You said you got well. well, are you... better?

Or are you just, you know, fake better? what do you mean?

I'm asking you if people, you know...

I mean, are you actually different?

I mean, do you feel different?

I'm getting married today. mm-hmm. city hall.

No muss, no fuss. just quick and dirty.

Well, uh... do you want me to come?

No, no. just letting you know.

Oh, no, wait. uh, uh...

Okay, this is my grocery list.

It's old. uh, this--this is new.

Um, this is my favorite pen, so i want it back. borrowed.

And all of it's blue, so you're covered.

Now see, if we were george and owen,

We would hug right now.

Dude.

Unidentified male, dragged by a bus.

He's clamped down, so we couldn't intubate.

Didn't they stop when they hit him? bus driver didn't know he was there

Until he got halfway down the block. oh, is he gonna be okay?

Okay, i'll take over c.p.r.

push 20 etomidate and 100 of sux.

He saved my life.

The bus was gonna hit me. he threw me out of the way.

Grey, get her out of here. it was supposed to be me under the bus. he's all alone.

They don't even know who he is. please. all right, stand over there and just don't move.

He's back. okay, let's get a trauma series,

Trauma labs and o-neg blood in here.

Severe avulsion injury to the left forearm.

Whoa. okay, his skull is bashed in.

Page shepherd. and sloan.

Start antibiotics and start cleaning out those wounds.

uh...

Now can you get her out of here?

Did you get the whole thing?

Did you get the whole tumor out?

Just let me finish my exam.

Can you tell me your name?

My name is isobel stevens. it's 2009.

And i'm in the... neuro i.c.u. at seattle grace hospital.

Did you get the damn thing out? got the whole damn thing.

You got it? yeah.

Oh, god. you got the whole thing.

And i can talk and i know my name

And i'm not a turnip. nope.

No offense. oh, no.

You are a great surgeon, but i really thought

I was gonna be a turnip.

This is so unbelievably great.

Your, uh, kidneys are a little sluggish,

So we're just gonna keep an eye on your electrolytes

For a few hours.

Your post-op crit was-- was fine. okay, good. good.

Good.

How did the surgery go?

Did you get the brain tumor? did you get it out?

Iz, you just asked him that.

We just talked about it.

No, no, it's okay. she's gonna be foggy for a while.

The tumor's out.

There was a little bleeding during the post--

You got it? yeah.

All of it? mm-hmm.

That's amazing.

Derek shepherd, you... are a hero.

And i know that that's derek shepherd.

And you're alex. and you should kiss me.

Alex...

I don't have a brain tumor.

I'm tumor-free.

yes, you are.

What's wrong? why do you look weird?

No, nothing. nothing.

Uh, your kidneys are a little slow.

We're just gonna watch them.

Okay. so you'll just recheck my electrolytes in an hour? mm-hmm.

Okay.

How did the surgery go?

Did you get the tumor?

We did.

The tumor's gone.

There was a little bit of bleeding,

And we took care of that.

You got it? mm-hmm.

Oh, my god.

And i can talk, and you didn't kill me.

What's wrong with you people? we should be celebrating.

we will.

She's like the woman

Who couldn't remember her husband was dead.

We had to keep telling her every five minutes. could be a perfectly normal post-operative haze.

Or the bleeding during the procedure

Blitzed her short-term retention.

Did you screw up her brain? karev--

i'll be back. try and stay calm.

Freaking her out is not gonna help.

Wake up.

whoa.

Man versus bus. the bus won.

Check out the left arm.

he's crashing again!

What do we got? we got roadkill.

You mind? he stepped out in front of a moving bus

So he could pull a woman out of the way. he's a hero. can you fix the arm?

Fingers are already blue. if it's gonna happen,

It's gotta be in the next few hours. pupil's blown. stop c.p.r.
