[voiceover] The human body is a highly pressurized system, the blood pressure measures the force of blood pulsating through the arteries. It's important to keep this pressure regulated, low or inadequate pressure can cause weakness or failure. It's when the pressure gets too high that problems really occur. If the pressure continues to increase, a closer examination is called for because it's the best indicator that something is going terribly wrong.

Why do we so many post-op fistulas after pancreas surgeries? I mean, your operation is flawless. It doesn't matter. We still see fistulas in what? 20 percent of patients? I- I think there's a way to bring that number down. I just gotta find it.
Miranda...
I needed a win, sir. I've got a string of big losses and I could use a win, that's all. Yang... Yang was the one I didn't have to worry about.
I know. I know. Look into the pancreatectmy patients, figure it out and then let me know how I can help.
Uh, can I use Avery? He actually gave me the idea. He was great today.
That's good to know. You know, Alex Karev saved a baby's life with a ping pong ball?
A ping pong ball?
Yes, he did.
Hmm. Alex Karev.
[voiceover] Every pressurized system needs a relief valve, there has to be a way to reduce the stress, the tension before it becomes too much to bear. There has to be a way to find relief because if the pressure doesn't find a way out it'll make one. It will explode. It's the pressure we put on ourselves that's the hardest to bear. The pressure to be better than we are. The pressure to be better than we think we can be. It never ever ever lets up. It just builds and builds and builds.
