[voice over] Patients who undergo an amputation often feel a sensation where the missing limb was as if it’s still there. The syndrome is called phantom limb. It’s as if the body can’t accept that a terrible trauma has occurred. The mind is trying to make the body complete again. Patients who experience phantom limb report many different sensations but by far the most common is pain.
“Walking on a Dream” · Season 9, Episode 12
In this episode: Meredith Grey (5), Shane (2), Derek Shepherd (1), Miranda Bailey (1)
[Meredith's intern for the day Shane Ross knocks on the door of the on-call room while she and Derek are having a quickie]
Dr. Shepherd?
Ross?
Sorry to bother you, sir, but I was hoping to scrub in with you today, and I'm supposed to be on Dr. Grey's service. So I was wondering - if maybe you could talk to your wife for me.
[seethes] I'm gonna kill him. [flings open the door] No, Ross, he cannot talk to his wife for you, because you are with me, and we have a consult with a pregnant lady with abdominal pain. So go do the workup, and I will see you there. [slams the door]
[Meredith kisses Derek a few times and rushes off]
[grins to himself] Ahhh...I am liking the stupid hormones.
Do. Not. Say. Anything.
I am so so sorry.
Wow. Is this you not saying anything?! Go away and do not come back without a liver.
Um, can I get you a tissue?
GO!!!!!!!!
Dr. Bailey. Can I please get another intern?
What's wrong with Ross?
A lot.
The kid made a tiny mistake.
Because he's an idiot. If I have to work with him one more second, I'm probably gonna kill him.
Uh, you think I didn't want to kill you? You cut L-VAD wires, and yet there you stand. So be merciful and suck it up.
[voice over] The body can be stubborn when it comes to accepting change. The mind holds out hope that the body can be whole again and the mind will always fight for hope, tooth and nail. Until it finds a way of understanding its new reality and accepts that what is gone is gone forever.
