Grey's Anatomy

Surgeons are 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.

Today...feels like the day to me.

I think by the close of business today,

I've got cartilage in a bottle.

- What's with you? - You and Derek.

You're all, "Don't screw the nurses and the drug reps."

You did a psych rotation. You know what happens

when you tell someone not to think about an elephant?

You spend a lot of time thinking about an...

I walk around the hospital trying not to make eye contact with the women.

I'm... lonely

and unhappy.

I don't see how this is a solution.

Find a grown-up who wants what you want and date...

like a grown-up.

I don't know what that means.

Oncology's kept you busy, two rounds of chemo,

brachytherapy, two rounds of external radiation.

Not to mention co-enzymes, shark cartilage, milk thistle.

- I'm open to pretty much anything. - Except surgery.

That's because surgery's not gonna work.

We'd like to hear all the options.

Your scans will be back any moment, and I'll have a look...

Let me tell you what you'll see. My tumor's the size of a football.

It's wrapped around my organs.

And if you try to cut it out, it'll kill me.

That's what you'll see.

We push ourselves. Residents, attendings...

it doesn't matter how much we achieve.

If you're a climber, there's always another mountain.

These are your scans.

I was just looking around.

- That's quite a tumor. - Huge.

There's probably nothing to be done.

You mind if I take a stab at it?

It sounds strange to you, I'm sure, but

I only have a few years left in the game,

and there may not be so many big tumors left for me.

Of course. You're welcome to it.

- What are you doing? - Thanks, Hunt. You're a good egg.

What are you doing?

I'm sure you've got work to do, Dr. Yang.

Chart.

- What are you doing? - What?

This is a monster case, and he just stole it from you

with some crap about mortality and old men?

He's playing you. What are you doing?!

Season 06 Episode 17 Push

I'd like to keep Audrey Taylor. She was my case...

- You gave it to me. - You swiped it.

Cause it's got Harper Avery written all over it.

When Dr. Avery was here, he did mention

that I need to dive back into my research.

- This case would be perfect for that. - This thing is a monster. At best,

it's damage control. I'd be operating by the seat of my pants.

On the contrary. A tumor like this calls

for a methodical analysis of the scans, a careful plan...

- Old-school, which... - Old?

I didn't see that coming.

I didn't not mean your age but the approach. Let's not make this personal.

You just did, Ginger. And you're right.

I've been resecting tumors since you were in diapers.

In my experience, they demand something

a little more elegant than "by the seat of your pants."

- This is my patient. - Good morning. Why are we arguing?

- Big. - Whose patient is this?

- Mine. - Work on it together.

The Harper Avery is an individual award.

I see where this is going.

A case like this needs an aggressive approach that...

Sloppy. It requires a methodical analysis...

- Some would say outmoded. - Outmoded?

All right. There's nothing wrong with a friendly professional competition.

Come up with plans, present 'em to me. I will choose.

- Dr. Yang, Dr. Grey will assist. - I'm with Webber.

What? He's got it in the bag.

"I'm with Webber"? Why'd you push me to do it in the first place?

Now you'll know what your plan is and...

what his plan is.

Wait. You're gonna spy on him?

- That's cheating. - You're adorable when you're slow.

You have a dark, dark mind.

- Here. - Thanks.

You working tonight?

I'm going to yoga class.

There's nothing about that statement that makes any sense.

Tuck's with his father, and the facist vegan next door

gave me a yoga class for Christmas.

You're having dinner with me.

The facist vegan thinks that yoga's going to make me a better person,

which is unlikely,

but if I don't go, I'll have to hear about it every time...

"well, my back kinda hurts, but the breathing.

I've never breathed like that before in my life."

That's what people say after their first yoga class.

Tell her that. Have dinner with me.

Come on. Now try it.

My back kinda hurts, but the breathing.

I've never breathed like that in my life.

- More conviction. - I've never breathed

- like that in my life. - There you go.

- What? - This...

This patient...

- I can't find the heartbeat. - So call the morgue, 40-watt.

He's not dead. He's sitting up. He's talking.

You're lucky you have a famous last name.

Take a deep breath, sir.

I'm having... Trouble doing that.

Grow up, Todd.

At 9, they removed his right lung.

And now the other one's crapping out on me.

Or maybe you're having an anxiety attack cause I asked you to move in with me.

I can't find his heart.

- Me neither. - I really can't.

- So who's the 40-watt now? - I can't...

I can't...

Get a stat chest x-ray and page cardio.

There she is...

- By your kidney. - My heart is by my kidney?

That's why it was hard to hear your heartbeat.

And without a second lung in your chest cavity, your heart sort of drifted.

It's called post-pneumonectomy syndrome. And the shifting caused

some bronchial compression. That's why you weren't able to breathe.

- I'm the biggest bitch in the world. - Can you put it back where it goes?

We're gonna use saline implants in your chest to keep it in place.

Implants? Like...

- what they use for... - Fake boobs.

You want to put... I can't have...

I'm a guy. Okay? I'm a guy's guy.

- You won't actually see them. - But still.

Come on, man. You know what I'm saying.

- How am I supposed to, you know... - What?

Pick up women? You mean how do you explain your boobs

to the next chick who's dumb enough to date you?

- Do I have a choice? - Do you like to breathe?

So, yes, there is a surgical option. We're just...

We're still figuring out the best approach.

The risks with the surgery are very...

High. The tumor has compromised the organs to the point

where anything we do to try to remove it would...

would kill me.

You're not even listening to them.

It doesn't make sense. I just want one more month.

I'm not gonna risk dying before that.

One more month?

Our daughter's getting married

in a month.

And I would like to see her do that. I would...

I would like to see her on the happiest day of her life.

Mrs. Taylor, if we don't try the surgery,

you might not make it through the month.

Then...

I look forward to hearing...

What you come up with.

He's really hot and his stomach's hurting so much.

He was fine. We were playing at the zoo one minute,

and he was fine. I don't... please.

Noah, does it hurt over here?

- It's okay, baby. - Page Dr. Robbins, stat.

Right away, Dr. Grey.

- Do you have a minute for a question. - Sure.

I wanted to talk to you about breast implants.

Really? Good for you.

It crossed my mind the first time I saw you,

but I didn't think you were the type to go for it.

No. Not for me. For my patient.

Of course.

Can I steal him for a quick consult?

He's all yours.

I was just... she's what you're looking for.

She's age appropriate, probably wants kids. Ask her out.

- I'm not sure that's gonna work. - Great. Thanks.

As you were.

I'm sorry about that. Your breasts are fantastic.

I wouldn't change a thing.

The patient.

He's got post-pneumonectomy syndrome,

and I wanted to use the implants to stabilize his heart.

Of course. Let me take a look.

So asking you out tonight...

Probably a bad idea?

You think?

What?

Mark Sloan just asked me out.

- Cool. - No, not "cool".

Exactly. Why not have a little fun? Mark is like...

Candy.

Eat it and forget about it.

Right? Come on. You know what? This might be the best idea ever.

Will you have to resect a part of the diaphragm?

Most likely.

Or I might let you do the resection.

- Really? - Yep, that or kick you off the case.

Depends on how much you've leaked to Dr. Hunt.

I've been doing this a long time.
