[voiceover] Surgeons are control freaks. With a scalpel in your hand, you feel unstoppable. There's no fear, there's no pain. You're ten-feet tall and bulletproof. And then you leave the OR. And all that perfection, all that beautiful control, just falls to crap.

Leave me alone. I've been sitting home for a week, watching Oprah give away things on TV. Oprah, Derek! You clear me now or I'll hurt you.
If you want me to clear you so soon maybe you should've thought of that before you gave chief to Burke and invited Satan to Seattle.
Satan?
Good morning. Richard, like the hat.
Satan speaks.
Actually I prefer to be called ruler of all that is evil. [Richard laughs] But I will answer to Satan.
You have a problem?
No.
You have a mocha latte?
No.
Then go away.
You could talk, you know, I mean, if you need to.
I'm fine.
You said that word so many times today, it doesn't even sound like a word anymore. Just saying you can talk to me. Because, you know, even if I repeat every word you say, no one around here likes me, they'll just call me a liar and move on.
[voiceover] No one likes to lose control, but as a surgeon there's nothing worse. It's a sign of weakness, of not being up to the task. And still there are times when it just gets away from you. When the world stops spinning and you realize that your shiny little scalpel isn't gonna save you. No matter how hard you fight it, you fall. And it's scary as hell. Except if there's an upside to free-falling, it's the chance you give your friends to catch you.
