Hey, I wore a diaper yesterday, yes - and I will wear one today. If it helps get Dr. Shepherd through this surgery, I will wear a diaper. My diaper is awesome. My diaper is hard-core. You wish you had the balls to wear my diaper. I'm gonna wear it, and I'm gonna wear it with pride. And if I have to pee in it? Oh, I'll pee. Because I am a surgeon. This is America. And I will do what needs to be done. So you can kiss my hard-core, diaper wearing ass.
S6 E7Give Peace A Chance
No, no, whoa whoa whoa whoa!
Move!
No!
Dr. Robbins!
I said no! Dr. Shepherd is operating on the inside of a man's spinal chord right now. Even the most minor disturbance could cause him to make a mistake on that patient - a patient who happens to work here, and whose life I personally would like to see Dr. Shepherd save. So no... you don't get to go in there and be a bully. Not today chief, not on my watch.
[voiceover] Ask most surgeons why they became surgeons and they usually tell you the same thing. The high, the rush, the thrill of the cut. For me it was the quiet. Peace isn't a permanent state. It exists in moments. Fleeting. Gone before we even knew it was there. We can experience it at any time, in a stranger's act of kindness, a task that requires complete focus or simply the comfort of an old routine. Everyday we all experience these moments of peace. The trick is to know when they're happening so that we can embrace them, live in them. And finally let them go.
S6 E8Invest in Love
[voiceover] It's impossible to describe the panic that comes over you when you're a surgeon and your pager goes off in the middle of the night. Your heart starts to race. Your mind freezes. Your fingers go numb. You're invested. There's someone's mom, someone's dad, someone's kid. And now it's on you because that someone's life is now in your hands. Surgeons, we're always investing in our patients. But when your patient's a child, you're not just invested, you're responsible. Responsible for whether or not that child survives, has a future. And that's enough to terrify anyone.
This is not general surgery in miniature. These are the tiny humans. These are children. They believe in magic. They play pretend. There is fairy dust in their IV bags. They hope, and they cross their fingers, and they make wishes, and that makes them more resilient than adults. They recover faster, survive worse. They believe.
Maybe I can help.
No, no you can't. Because as long as you're standing there breathing over my shoulder, I feel like I'm operating on a stack of dollar bills, 25 million dollar bills, and what I need to be invested in right now is this kid, so please, get the hell out of my O.R..
I love you.
[shocked] You do?
I do.
I love you too.
[voiceover] They say the bigger your investment, the bigger your return. But you have to be willing to take a chance. You have to understand, you might lose it all. But if you take that chance, if you invest wisely, the payoff might just surprise you.
S6 E9New History
[voiceover] Doctors live in a world of constant progress and forward motion. Stand still for a second, and you'll be left behind. But as hard as we try to move forward, as tempting as it is to never look back, the past always comes back to bite us in the ass. And as history shows us again and again, those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it.
He needs a spinal tap. His falling could have burst an aneurysm and some bleeds show up on a spinal tap that don't on the CT.
CCharles
And some doctors enjoy torturing patients because they messed up and don't know what they're gonna do with the rest of their lives.
You are the one that got me fired. You owe me this, you little bitch. Unless of course you want me to find that snotty Reed, what's her name? Tell her how much you love her. Cause I will.
Miranda.
Oh, Adele. Oh I'm so sorry, I sent the Chief into surgery. Do you want me to-
What I want is for you to tell me the truth. Are you having an affair with my husband?
I am not having an affair with your husband!
I saw the way you handled him just now.
Handled! I did not... handle... there was no handling... we work together.
You spend every waking moment together, you finish each other's sentences, you read each other's minds. You're more married to that man than I am.
Yeah, but that's just because they're husband and work-wife.
Excuse me?
The Chief's your work-husband and you're his work-wife. You look out for each other, you take care of each other, there's nothing wrong with it, it's like me and Sloan.
Excuse me?
Nobody's talking to you. He's my work-husband but he has a girlfriend, I have a girlfriend, but nothing going on between us.
I mean, there was at one point...
You're not helping.
Neither one of you are helping. Adele, I promise you there's nothing going on.
Something is going on because he hasn't been in his bed all week.
What?
Really?
The last time he acted like this, disappearing, sleeping at the hospital every night, he was with Ellis Grey. He may not be having an affair with you-
He's not, I promise you. I promise you, he's not.
Okay. But wife-wife to work-wife, someone in this hospital is sleeping with our husband.
So are you back or...
Oh, did you want me to come back? Cause you told the Chief you had serious doubts about my abilities to be here.
What?
You went behind my back and told the Chief I wasn't ready to be here.
He was making cuts, I was protecting you.
You got me fired Alex.
Is that what you think?
This job was the one thing I had left, the one thing, and you took that away from me. You interfered and got me fired. I have forgiven you for a lot Alex. I've had to forgive you for a lot, but I cannot forgive you for this.
You made an assumption. You decided I did something. You didn't ask. You didn't hang around to talk. I am your husband and you didn't give me the benefit of the doubt. So you know what? I can't forgive you either.
[voiceover] Sometimes the past is something you just can't let go of. And sometimes the past is something we'll do anything to forget. And sometimes we learn something new about the past that changes everything we know about the present.
S6 E10Holidaze
[voiceover] The best gift I ever got was for Christmas when I was ten – my very first suture kit. I used it until my fingers bled, and then I tried to use it to stitch up my fingers. It put me on the path to becoming a surgeon. My point is sometimes the best gifts come in really surprising packages.
[referring to money needed to fund new equipment for a boy's surgery] I'll write a check. How much?
I'll split it with you.
Thank you.
[both look expectantly at Mark]
I have a teenager. What if she wants to go to college?
Have you met her?
All right I'm in.
