Grey's Anatomy 13x01

Don't you wish you could just take it back that thing you said, that thing you did? There's no "undo" button. There's only hoping we can learn, we can change. Right? We can do better. We can't take back what we've done. We can't undo the past... Because the future keeps coming at us.

Best to keep the past in the past, move on and learn from it. If we don't learn from our mistakes we wind up locked into a future we never choose. The past is written, there's no changing it. What's done is done... But the future is ours to choose, for better or worse.

Grey's Anatomy 13x02

As surgeons we are out brother's keepers, ride or die. Womb to tomb. We see each other's fears, we see the white knuckle panic of failure and we see ourselves. And who the hell likes looking at that?

We walk through these doors as interns... Chips on our shoulders, loners, lesser rockstars on the verge of greatness. We're thrown into the deep end together, told to save lives together, to save each other. We become family. And even when you really screw up family is always there, always on call. Womb to tomb, ride or die.

Grey's Anatomy 13x03

Every patient who gets bad news wants to be the exception. The one in a million, the miracle. But surgeons don't believe in miracles, we have to make them happen.

Miracles aren't always huge. The fever breaks, the stitch holds, the bone heals... That's why they can be so hard to spot and why they can be such a pain in the ass. Don't get me wrong, tiny miracles are great. A little miracle's a miracle, but it just may not be enough to save us.

Grey's Anatomy 13x04

The harder the hit, the more it'll sting. That's usually the case. So we prescribe meds, ice, compression and elevation. Things you do to stop the immediate pain. But you can only dull the pain for a bit... And when the drugs start to wear off it really hurts.

There's a reason these fixes are called temporary. They were never meant to last forever. So what happens when you're faced with a fix that's more permanent? Do you fight it? Do you try to resist? Or do you step back and decide that maybe acceptance is the best fix of all.

Grey's Anatomy 13x05

There's a reson the punchline to so many doctor jokes starts with "I've got good news and bad news". Often, the bad news is so bad when something good comes along we tend to go a little overboard.

Every cloud has a silver lining, but it's still a cloud. A cloud can mean a shower or a storm, so you take your good days where you get them. You try to stay positive, you try to remember that even in the bad news there's good news for someone.

Grey's Anatomy 13x06

You know that story where a child gets trapped under a car and their parent finds the superhuman strength to lift the car and save the child's life? I always wondered if that was real. If someone I cared about was hurt or trapped, would my instincts kick in? Would I know what to do? Would I lift the car? Jump in front of the bullet? Would I be able to beat somebody senseless? I like to think I would.

When someone you love is in physical danger finding the strength you need to save them is easy. But, sometimes, the threat isn't physical... sometimes it goes deeper. In which case, no instincts can save you, no superhuman strength, no adrenaline rush. You can't power your way out of the crashing car, all you can do is sit, wait and wish things were different.

Grey's Anatomy 13x07

"If ain't broke, don't fix it" The saying's as true of the human body as it is of a washing machine or a blender. A good surgeon knows that if you go screwing around with something that doesn't need screwing you are the one who is liable to end up screwed.

It's hard to admit when we're wrong, but even though everything looks fine there's a problem. Something is broken and you have to see where it's broken and set about fixing it... or it's all gonna come apart.

Grey's Anatomy 13x08

There's this family in Italy who never slept. They suffered from a genetic disease that kept them awake for months, until their bodies just shut down... Even after all these years scientists still don't really know why we sleep. We just know we have to sleep, because without it we make poor decisions, we say things we shouldn't and sometimes we see things that aren't there.

We've all hit that point of exhaustion. The point where nothing makes sense anymore. Your body hurts, your brain becomes foggy and you feel like you're trapped in a tunnel when all you want is your bed. So... how do you keep going? How do you not sit down and give up? Sometimes it's easy. Sometimes you play games in your head and you make up someone, someone good. Whatever you need to keep you going...

Grey's Anatomy 13x09

Surgeons fight. We fight against death, it's our thing. But, eventually, if history's any indicator death is gonna win. We may win the battle but we're never gonna win the war. So the trick is to go down fighting, to fight for the right cause, for the right person... And if you go down, you all go down together.

We can't just give up, not after all this time. We have to stand together, we have to fight. I will go down swinging for you Alex, you know I will. But that means you can't give up. You don't throw the fight. So, whatever you're doing this for please... don't.

Grey's Anatomy 13x10

Back in the day physicians made house calls. So if you chopped off your finger or woke up with a touch of cholera you could order up a doctor, like delivery pizza. A respected member of the community at your service, the ultimate personal touch.

There's a reason doctors prefer to see a patient in person, face to face. It's the laying on of hands, human touch, that spark of connection... We lay hands on each other so we feel like we're all in this together. We connect with each other, because if we didn't we would all feel so, so alone.

Grey's Anatomy 13x11

We all have heroes. People we look up to. People we aspire to be who teach us how to be greater than we are because they are greater than we are. They're great... If we don't look too closely, 'cause if we get too close we realize heroes are just regular people. And regular people can fail us.

Our heroes aren't special, they're just people. They're like us, they're just trying to survive. They're trying to be happy. Trying to do better, be better, feel better... Heroes aren't more special or more courageous than the rest of us. After all, they're only human and they hurt, they break, they bleed... But sometimes, every once in a while, when it matters they get it right and that changes everything. A hero is only human, but that's the point, if they can do it, so you can. So you keep going, you don't give up. You stand tall and fight. You always show up to save the day.
