Grey's Anatomy Life Lessons

I have always loved the beginning and end of Grey's Anatomy where meredith talks. They usually have insightful thoughts so I thought i would start writing them down as I went through the seasons. I'm going to start at the first episode and just keep going :)

 

 

To a degree, medicine is a science but I would argue that it’s also an art. The doctors who see medicine as science only, you don’t want them by your side when you’re bleeding won’t stop or your child’s screaming in pain. The clinicians go by the book. The artists follow their guts. The artists feel your pain and they go to extremes to make it stop. Extreme measures, that’s where science ends and art begins.
…
Surgery is extreme. We cut into your body. Take out pieces and put what’s left back together. Good thing life doesn’t come with a scalpel because if it did, when things started to hurt, we’d just cut and cut and cut. The thing is, what we take away with a scalpel, we can’t ever get back. So like I said, good thing.
