[voice over] In order to properly treat a problem, a surgeon needs as much information as she can get. So we ask questions. Things like when did the pain begin? Have you experienced these symptoms before? Do you have a family history? Are you currently sexually active? Have you recently undergone surgery? If you’re unwilling or unable to answer these and other questions, we’re forced to rely on tests for insight. Until those test results come back, there’s nothing we can do but wait.

[about having to sit next to Shane Ross at Miranda's wedding dinner] It's like having dinner with "Ripley's believe it or not!"
Interns are like sexual catnip at this hospital.
[Callie calls Derek's hospital room.]
Hey, you're awake.
[groggily] No, not really.
Oh, sorry. I just--I wanted to check your post-op vitals. How's your BP?
Uh, you know who would know that would be a nurse. Why don't you call a nurse?
Right. I'll do that.
Why are you whispering?
Oh, I'm in a hotel bathroom. And I'm about to have sex For the first time in months.
[eyes widen immediately] I'm hanging up now.
[voice over] The next time you’re in your doctor's office, remember she’s not asking all those questions for her health. She’s asking them for yours. Tell her everything. The small details aren’t trivial. They actually make the story. There’s no rush, take all the time you need, start at the beginning.
