[voice over] To a critically ill patients, an organ transplant means a new start, a second chance. But the body is designed to fight off any outside invader, even the one that is trying to save it. Because the transplant doesn’t guarantee that’s an easier life, there’s the threat that the body will reject the organ outright.

Jackson Avery really has a bigger say than any of us in running this hospital?
That can't be true. Can it?
Well, he's a voting member of the management team and he also represents the Harper Avery Foundation.
And their $175 million bucks.
As opposed to our $15 million apiece.
According to Stan, not only does he have the deciding vote, he can veto ours.
That is ridiculous. He's a fellow.
So are you.
But he's a plastics fellow. And I'm me.
Can your mind be blown on your own time? Right now I have to talk with my supervisor.
Um, well, you own the hospital now. So doesn't that make you the supervisor?
It does. So I will have that conversation with myself.
You know, it's like everyone has gone crazy. Owen and Derek are at each other's throats. Avery's on some kind of power trip. You know, I am supposed to be prepping for a major transplant and Callie's left me with an OR board that's like a Rubik's Cube.
[deadpan] Wow. In charge one day, and already the hospital's spinning out of control?
[voice over] The transplant process is very scary. The patient goes from worrying about getting an organ, to worrying if the organ will be rejected. The anxiety continues, until they can finally open their eyes after surgery, and see that their gift has been accepted.
