Swinder, Derek and others in “Here's to the Future”

The test impaired your memory to such a degree that I have to strongly recommend you don't have the surgery.

Derek

Izzie, the test was the worst case scenario. The result has nothing to do with the surgery.

We don't know that.

Derek

But what I do know is that not operating is every bit as risky as the surgery itself. If not more. But, it's up to you.

Izzie

What do you think?

Alex

I think he's talking to you, not me.

Derek

I'll leave you two alone to discuss this.

Alex

Ah, I'll come with you. I have a couple of questions.

Izzie

Wait, Alex.

Alex

Think about what you want to do for a second, OK? I'll be right back. [everyone but Meredith leaves the room. Meredith closes the door]

Meredith

You are not having the surgery!
