[voiceover] We're doctors - we're trained to care for human beings and we're pretty sure we know what to look for. Cuts, infection, genetic mutation.

What's up?
Doug has fever and rigors and he's starting to get a productive cough.
So deal with it. Look, hook guy's tanking. He coughed up blood or something, so they're taking him back to surgery. I want in.
Wait, he coughed up blood? What did it look like, was it like currant jelly? Did he have leukocytosis with a left shift? His P.A.CO2 was 28, right?
I don't know, Encyclopedia Brown. I didn't memorize the chart.
Let him go, Grey, he has a surgery he wants to see.
Thank you, Dr. Bailey. [leaves]
Dr. Bailey, both patients have productive coughs and signs and symptoms of sepsis. I am probably wrong, but if I'm not, this is infectious.
You're probably not wrong; you're probably right. Why do you want to hand your big save over to Karev who's going to march around the hospital acting like he put it together?
I didn't...
You are handing your power over to a boy because he's giving you sex.
I'm not... I'm...
I'm Dr. Bailey, I know everything. And you have a superpower. That memory of yours is a superpower. And on top of it, you're a good doctor. And yet you're letting Alex Karev treat you like a scut monkey. I don't care how good the sex is, if that's what it costs, you're paying too much.
I'm not. I--
Scut monkey all day.
I get it. You watch parents go through horrible, unimaginable pain every day. And you went through horrible, unimaginable pain when you lost your brother and your parents never got over it. But if we had a baby- our baby's not gonna be one of those kids in your NICU. Our baby won't be your brother. I mean, knock on wood, but- Do you know how happy our baby would be?
I'm going to say this once, and then I'm not going to say it again. I'm not broken. I'm not some psychodrama. My lack of interest in having a child is not some pathology that you can pat yourself on the back for having diagnosed. I like my life, I like it the way that it is. I don't want it to change. I thought I liked it with you in it. I hope I am not wrong.
Give me a beer.
You screwed me today. That was my patient. You made me look like a moron. Get your own beer.
You can't be an ass to me all day and then expect me to give you respect. You can't be be an ass to me all day and then except me to give you sex. And you can stop with the patronizing nicknames. I am a nice person, who couldn't even bring myself to attempt matricide by Sweet 'N Low. That makes me charming to anybody else. I am a nice person. And I am nice to you. So, whatever your damage is, you better start to be frickin' nice to me or I am not spreading my legs for you anymore, no matter how much I may I want to. Now give me a damn beer!
[Alex hands her a beer]
[voiceover] As doctors, we have an arsenal of weapons at the ready. Antibiotics to kill infections, narcotics to fight pain, scalpels and retractors to removes tumors and cancers, to eradicate the threat. But just the physical threat, for every other kind, you're on your own.
