Grey's Anatomy

When I was a kid, I would wake up every morning

in the winter and immediately open the curtains

to see if it was snowing.

And it usually was.

It was Boston.

Dr. James...

Okay, so what are we, uh... Hey! What are you doing? Stop!

It's freezing out there, and there are sick people in here.

No, it's crazy in the ER right now. I can't talk.

What do you... What do you mean? Why are you mad?

Um, okay. You know what?

I can't hear you. Hello?

Pretty sure she just faked not hearing me

so she could hang up. You paged?

You said you got a patient with frostbite?

Yeah, beds 2, 3, 6, 7, and 9. Have fun.

All... Yeah. Uh. Hey, whoa!

Get away from that door.

Okay. Schools would close.

People would hunker down, light candles,

and eat everything in the refrigerator.

Sorry, sorry, sorry. Hey, Schmitt!

I don't have time, for God's sake!

Come on, you can't be serious. This is supposed to be

the bloody Pacific Northwest, and you're telling me...

You've been very helpful. Yeah, thank you.

Hayes.

We usually let the parents do the screaming on this floor.

I just told my 6-year-old patient's parents

that I have a liver for their dying child,

but now half a foot of snow has rendered every road

in Seattle useless, apparently.

Okay. And no airlift either?

No, there's no visibility.

And it's just three miles away. Three bloody miles.

Okay, well, I'm sure the roads

are gonna be cleared up in a few hours.

She doesn't have a few hours, Grey.

INR is climbing. She's developing ascites.

I'll get it. What? What?

I'll get your liver. It's at Seattle Pres, right?

Give me the paperwork right now. I'll go.

Thank you.

I don't know whose service you're on, but I'll cover you.

How are you gonna get there? I'll walk.

Thank you. You're welcome.

Everyone loves a "snow day."

Except for one person.

My mother.

She always said the same thing...

"Meredith, surgeons don't get snow days."

So, you know it's 8 degrees outside

with a wind chill of minus-15.

People are freezing to death.

Hey, I'm used to the cold, alright? I grew up in Wisconsin.

Okay, well, where are your skis,

Look, just tell Hayes to call Seattle Pres

Listen to me. I'm not just not sure

you're thinking about this clearly.

Hayes was just screaming at the top of his lungs

and slamming his phone down. On the PEDS floor.

You gonna tell him that he sounds like my dad, too?

We don't.

"An object's weight is the product

of the Earth's gravitational pull

and the mass of that object.

What happens to the mass and weight of a rocket

as it travels beyond Earth's orbit?"

Kind of tricky.

Mass is the same. Weight decreases.

Hmm. I mean, correct.

Chief?

Yeah? Eight more nurses

can't get here due to the road conditions.

ER's over capacity, and Dr. DeLuca

went on foot to pick up a liver from Seattle Pres.

He did what?

Di...

Alright. I-I'm coming.

Joey.

Keep at it.

Yes, ma'am.

Checked on the TEVAR from last night.

BP is finally normalized.

Shh, shh, shh!

Still snowing?

Uh, it is.

Coffee? Two sugars. Thanks.

So, Amelia's not coming to work.

She's not returning my calls or my texts.

Um, are we just gonna keep doing this

till the baby arrives, then we... Hey, Teddy!

Oh. Would you like some coffee, as well?

I am pouring for everyone.

Everything okay with Amelia?

What, she get snowed in?

Oh.

Something like that.

Mm. Shepherd should take a leave more often.

Makes him look like he actually belongs

with the rest of us mortals.

Mm. You know what?

I...

I don't need any more coffee.

Here, someone take this.

Uh...

Amelia's on leave?

Why? Beats me.

I just got a cryptic text

saying the baby's fine

but she needed me to cover her service.

And judging from Link's disregard for personal hygiene,

that doesn't bode well for their little insta-family.

Or her patients.

Ha ha! Kidding.

Ohh! Adonis has made this warm.

Ahh.

Little bit of bleeding.

A rupture. Oh, come on, man!

Get proximal and distal control.

Yeah, that's why that guy died. What...

Oops. Spoiler alert.

Whatcha working on?

Oh, I have a lap chole later today.

Not everybody was snowed out.

Oh, yeah. Haven't you done like a million of those?

Why are you practicing? I'm experienced because I practice.

I just don't get it.

Those residents...

they work their butts off,

they go into a mountain of debt, all for a chance

at the greatest job on the planet,

and they treat it like it's retail.

What's your name? Desmond, sir. Tess Desmond.

Well, Dr. Desmond, why don't you step over here?

And let's see what

your laparoscopic skills are like, hmm?

Uh, Dr. Karev! Good morning! It's not. And move.

We need to do pre-op rounds on my carcinoma.

I actually think we should save Ms. Anderson for last.

Like, switch it up a bit, right? I disrespectfully disagree.

I need to order... I need to talk to her.

Move!

Schmitt. Um, I might've misplaced her.

Or she misplaced herself.

You misplace pens.

You misplace keys.

You don't misplace people.

Sure, when you put it like that,

but I still don't know where she... Find her!

While you're at it, try and find my husband.

Stupid. Cavalier. Cowboy. Doesn't ever listen.

Maybe fired. All due respect, Chief,

my patient will die without that liver.

DeLuca could save her. It's only three miles away.

Have you been outside?

You can't even see three feet ahead of you.

Somebody needs to go after him.

What about Ben? Can Ben send a rig out

and look for him? Yeah.

He can get him to Seattle Pres and get him back.

Last time we spoke, Ben was amputating a foot

in a grounded rig. So, no.

Dr. Bailey, you asked me to let you know

when I discharged Joey Phillips.

No, no! In the middle of a blizzard?

What's the matter with you?

Sorry, there's no medical reason to keep him.

All that's left is his dispo with Social Services.

He's free to go.

Uh, and let me know if there's an update.

I'll call Andrea every 15 minutes.

Dr. Hayes, something's wrong!

Baby? Elisa? Honey, wake up.

- Honey? - She's hemorrhaging.

Let's hang some FFP and get two units of blood in here.

Damn it, she's unresponsive.

Oh, God. It's okay. It's okay. She's okay.

Let's get an intubation tray in here right now.

Let's book an OR!

Ms. Gutierrez, how are we feeling today?

I called my neighbor, Stevie,

to check that the heat is still on in my house

so my cats are okay, but I worry about the strays.

They don't have wings, can't just fly south.

You know, freezing to death isn't supposed to be that bad.

Uh, uh, people, uh,

who have been resuscitated said it was blissful.

Ms. Gutierrez, if I may,

I saw on TV that the animal shelters are open 24/7.

There's plenty of food.

People can bring in any animal that they find.

Even horses. Really?

Oh, that's nice.

Okay, then, Ms. Gutierrez.

Someone will come to bring you to pre-op soon.

Hey, Desmond, meet me in the scrub room.

Me? Her? Uh, I'm... I'm supposed to assist, Dr. Webber.

I remember. But I'm sure the ER is slammed.

They could use the help.
