« Gossip Girl Quotes »
The truth is painful. Deep down nobody wants to hear it, especially when it hits close to home. Sometimes we tell the truth because the truth is all we have to give. Sometimes we tell the truth because we need to say it out loud to hear it for ourselves. And sometimes we tell the truth because we just can’t help ourselves. Sometimes, we tell them, because we owe them at least that much.

Grey’s Anatomy - 4x03 - Let the Truth Sting
6 notes
Doctors give patients a number of things. We give them medicine, we give them advice, and most of the time, we give them our undivided attention. But, by far, the hardest thing you can give a patient is the truth. The truth is hard. The truth is awkward, and very often, the truth hurts. I mean, people think they want the truth, but do they really?

Grey’s Anatomy - 4x03 - Let the Truth Sting
Being chief is about responsibility. Every single surgical patient in a hospital is your patient. Whether you´re the one who cut them open or not. The scalpel stopped with these. You need to be able to look at her family. And to tell them your team did everything they could to save someones job. The husband, the wife, you get caught up. Taking care about the people´s families. And responsibility… it makes you… you take care of the people’s families. And you sacrifice your own.

Grey’s Anatomy - 3x25 - Didn’t we Almost have it All?
A surgeon’s education never ends. Every patient, every symptom, every operation…is a test. A chance for us to demonstrate how much we know. And how much more we have to learn.

Grey’s Anatomy - 3x24 - Testing 1-2-3
As interns, we know what we want, to become surgeons. And we’ll do anything to get there. Suffer through killer exam, endure one-hundred hour weeks, Stand for hours on end in operating rooms, you name it, we’ll do it.
[…]
Too often, the thing you want most is the one thing you can’t have. Desire leaves us heartbroken, it wears us out. Desire can wreck your life. And as tough as wanting something can be, the people who suffer the most are those who don’t know what they want.

Grey’s Anatomy - 3x21 - Desire
Some people believe that without history, our lives amount to nothing. At some point we all have to choose: do we fall back on what we know, or do we step forward to something new? It’s hard not to be haunted by our past. Our history is what shapes us… what guides us. Our history resurfaces time after time after time. So we have to remember sometimes the most important history is the history we’re making today.

Grey’s Anatomy - 3x20 - Time after Time
A patient’s history is as important as their symptoms. It’s what helps us decide if heart burn’s a heart attack… if a head ache’s a tumor. Sometimes patients will try to re-write their own histories. They’ll claim they don’t smoke, or forget to mention certain drugs… which in surgery can be the kiss of death. We can ignore it all we want, but our history eventually always comes back to haunt us.

Grey’s Anatomy - 3x20 - Time after Time
Surgeons always have a plan. Where to cut, where to clamp, where to stitch. But, even with the best plans complications can arise, things can go wrong. And suddenly, you’re caught with your pants down.
[…]
The thing about plans is they don’t take into account the unexpected, so when we’re thrown a curve ball, whether its in the OR or in life, we have to improvise. Of course, some of us are better at it than others. Some of us just have to move on to plan B and make the best of it. And sometimes what we want is exactly what we need. But sometimes, sometimes what we need is a new plan.

Grey’s Anatomy - 3x19 - My Favorite Mistake
At the end of a day like this, a day when so many prayers are answered and so many aren’t, we take our miracles where we find them. We reach across the gap and sometimes, against all odds, against all logic, we touch…

Grey’s Anatomy - 3x17 - Some Kind of Miracle
There are medical miracles. Being worshippers of the altar of science, we don’t like to believe miracles exist. But they do. Things happen. We can’t explain them, we can’t control them, but they do happen. Miracles do happen in medicine. They happen everyday, just not always when we need them to happen.

Like I said, disappearances happen. Pains go phantom. Blood stops running and people, people fade away. There’s more I have to say, so much more, but… I’ve disappeared.
Meredith Quote of the Day {25.10.2011} #134 Grey’s Anatomy - 3x16 - Drowning on Dry Land
Disappearances happen in science. Disease can suddenly fade away, tumors go missing, and we open someone up to discover the cancer is gone. Its unexplained It’s rare, but it happens. We call it mis-diagnosis say we never saw it in the first place, any explanation but the truth. That life is full of vanishing acts. If something that we didn’t know we had disappears, do we miss it?

Grey’s Anatomy - 3x15 - Walk on Water
Surgeons aren’t complacent people. We don’t put our feet up. We don’t sit still. Whatever the game is, we like to win. And once we win, we get a new game. We push ourselves; residents, attending. It doesn’t matter how much we achieve. If you’re a climber there’s always another mountain.
[…]
They take pictures of mountain climbers at the top of a mountain. They’re smiling, ecstatic, triumphant. They don’t take pictures along the way cos who wants to remember the rest of it. We push ourselves because we have to, not because we like it. The relentless climb, the pain and anguish of taking it to the next level. Nobody takes pictures of that. Nobody wants to remember. We just wanna remember the view from the top. The breathtaking moment at the edge of the world. That’s what keeps us climbing. And it’s worth the pain. That’s the crazy part. It’s worth anything.
