[opening voice over] On an operating table, a person is at his most vulnerable. Naked. Exposed. Skin is not a very tough armor. It's soft, easily broken.
“Got to Be Real” · Season 11, Episode 3
In this episode: Meredith Grey (3), Alex Karev (1), Jo (1), Stephanie (1)
She's, like, psycho, like a stalker. I'm being stalked. Alex, this is criminal. I mean, you... What's your problem?
Get out! I'm naked here!

No. Yeah, I am, but I'm not. They're this little team together. They are war buddies, and I don't fit. And then they look at me... Well, she looks at me... like I'm just the stupid, naked girl in Alex's bed.
So go be the stupid, naked girl in Alex's shower.
I am a doctor. I am a surgeon. I deserve respect.
You're a girl in her pajamas with her ear to the door of a bathroom. How much respect can anyone give you right now?
[ending voice over] Surgeons are bred to be invulnerable. It's very hard to lay ourselves bare, because we know exactly how deep some injuries can go. But vulnerability isn't the opposite of strength. It's a necessary part. We have to force ourselves to open up, to expose ourselves. To offer up everything we have and just pray that it's good enough. Otherwise, we'll never succeed.
