[voiceover] Victims of a sudden impact are some of the hardest to treat. It's not just the collision that injures them. It's everything after. The centrifugal force keeps them moving, tossing them from vehicles, throwing them through windshields, slamming their internal organs into the skeleton. Their bodies are injured over and over again. So there's no way to know how much damage has actually been done. Until they stop.
“Suddenly” · Season 8, Episode 10
In this episode: Meredith Grey (2), Derek Shepherd (1), Mark Sloan (1), Lexie Grey (1)
How much trauma has your girlfriend done?
A lot. She's told me about a bunch of her cases.
Oh, so we're just going off your pillow talk? If I get a hint that your girlfriend is in over her head, I'm gonna boot her out of my O.R.
You know what your problem is? You don't think anyone who sleeps with me can be talented or have half a brain.
That is not true.
It's mostly true.
Yeah. Yeah, it's mostly true.
Your ex-wife is brilliant, and she slept with me. I'm not trying to start a fight. I'm just sayin'.

Oh, thank god that is over. Did I seem nervous in there? Just be-be honest with me.
Oh, you-you seemed more than OK.

That is Derek Shepherd in there, one of the best neurosurgeons in the country, and Mark's best friend. And the whole time I was in there, all I could think about was my high school cross-country team. Coach would always say, "Don't look back, never look back, because if the kid behind you sees that, he knows you're weak, and he will run you down." The whole surgery that that's all I was thinking about. Don't look back.
Well, you didn't.
[Voiceover]You can't prepare for a sudden impact. You can't brace yourself. It just hits you. Out of nowhere. And suddenly, the life you knew before is over. Forever.
