Grey's Anatomy

In the 1800s,

one of the more common reasons

women visited the doctor was "hysteria."

Granny, I don't know where your nice shoes are,

but aren't you staying home?

Can't you just wear your slippers?

Well, what about next weekend?

I'm in Miami

for a National Conference on Neuroscience.

Miami is a six-hour flight from Seattle.

I could get on the redeye Friday night.

We'd have all of Saturday,

and then I could fly back Sunday in time to pick up Scout.

Is that insane? A little.

I wish I could get on a plane to Minnesota right now.

I'm not in Minnesota.

You're not? Where are you?

A now-defunct diagnosis...

..."hysteria" was used to describe

a wide array of symptoms... chest pain, anxiety...

I wish I could kiss you right now, but I'm at work.

...a swollen abdomen...

Hi. ...mood swings.

Hi.

They tried a variety of treatments for hysteria,

ranging from rest to psychosomatic therapy.

Please can I watch your bowel resection?

You stay home from school, you keep up with your work.

That was our deal.

I will never need to know anything about

the French Revolution, ever.

If you only know about medicine,

what will you talk to your patients about?

You talk to your patients about European history?

But true relief for these women didn't exist...

I have to catch up with Maggie and Nick.

Go to my office. I'll see you soon, okay?

...until physicians tried using

what they called pelvic massage.

Hey. Zola's skipping school again today.

Well, she had another panic attack,

so what was I supposed to do?

The cure was called a "hysterical paroxysm"...

Wow. What are you doing here?

None of your business. I'm a private citizen.

...which today has come to be known as an orgasm.

Uh, yeah, I may have, uh, given her and Dr. Wilson permission

to use the interns for a special project.

You gave away our surgical interns for the entire day?

Well, I mean, the project's important, and...

do you really want to tell Bailey no?

Modern medicine continues to recognize

the stress-reducing benefits of the female orgasm.

But doctors no longer perform the cure.

Sign these.

What are they?

Release forms.

For what? Okay, new rule...

No questions before 8:00 a.m.

Well, we just want to know what we... Save it for 8:01.

I'll be in the pit if you desperately need me

and there is absolutely no one else

in your general vicinity who can help.

Okay, but where... People, it's very simple... no questions.

You just didn't tell us where we're going.

You're with Dr. Bailey. Who's Dr. Bailey?

Wow, blasphemy.

I am Dr. Bailey.

What are you waiting for? Let's go.

I'm so sorry.

I... I thought I met all the attendings.

I'm Mika Yasuda.

No need to apologize. I don't work here.

Dr. Bailey was chief of surgery until about six months ago.

I left to spend time with my family.

That's nice.

It was, and then the Supreme Court went

and stripped women of our reproductive rights.

Dr. Wilson has been helping me with a sex-ed curriculum

to teach teenagers about their bodies

because we now live in a country

where the only way to guarantee

you don't have to carry an unwanted pregnancy

is to not get pregnant.

And statistically speaking,

teens need some big help with that.

So we are making sex-education videos

to put up on social media.

We want to go viral...

you know, like that cat that plays the piano.

Oh, come on, people, get with it.

Dr. Bailey, we're surgical interns.

We have progress notes and nurses paging us,

and we're behind on discharge summaries.

I don't even have time to look at my phone.

I've got like 600 unread texts.

Nurses love me. You won't be bothered today.

And in exchange for your cooperation,

you get the benefit of working

with yet another world-class surgeon.

Dr. Montgomery.

Oh, don't look so miserable.

You're getting paid to talk about sex today.

Sex is fun, and I need you to look like it.

Okay.

Addie, you really pulled out all the stops on this one.

And I am so grateful.

Well, I spend every waking moment

obsessing about the state of women's health in this country,

so this was an easy yes.

Yeah. How much fallout are you experiencing in California?

Last week, I had five patients

asking for prophylactic tubal ligations

before they go to college,

because they're afraid of getting pregnant

in hostile states.

18-year-olds wanting to get their tubes tied.

I mean, it's the actual apocalypse.

18? I didn't even want kids until I was 30.

Hi. I'm Jo Wilson.

We actually met during your grand rounds

on uterine transplants.

And Dr. Schmitt is a g... is a good friend of mine.

Unless you didn't like him. Then I hate him.

Dr. Wilson, I've heard great things.

Uh...

Would you excuse me just a minute? Mm-hmm. Sure.

I cannot believe it. Shep...

Dr. Montgomery.

It's a... an... an honor to be working with you.

I'm... I'm a huge fan of... of... of fertility

and... and your work in it, specifically.

Hi. I'm Dr. Montgomery.

Simone Griffith. Dr. Griffith. Dr.... Dr. Simone Griffith.

Sorry, I'm starstruck.

What do you mean, I don't have any interns?

They're off on some special assignment.

Well, what, did they enlist? Bring them back, Owen.

I have a full pit, one surgical resident,

and you, who's worse than useless to me.

You know what? Talk to someone who cares.

Oh, excuse me, Dr. Altman. What?

Well, as much as I respect the purpose

and intention of Dr. Bailey's project,

I could really use some more hands-on experience in the pit.

I'll do H&Ps, run labs, suture, drain abscesses.

I'll do anything you need.

Mm. You happy now? Don't answer that.

You're never happy.

I'm a very happy person. He's just bitter and broken.

Let's go.

These are your scripts. Stick to them.

STDs, menstrual cycle, anatomy,

and you're all on contraception.

Uh, Dr. Webber, there's plenty to go around.

Would you like to pick a topic? Richard?

Uh, when I was 15, I was handed a sack of flour

to care and treat like a baby.

Do you have that?

I'll be in my office.

Alright, uh, any questions, comments, concerns?

Um, yeah.

This is very important and all, but I am not your guy.

Never had sex before?

: This is your assignment today, so you are our guy.

I think what Dr. Kwan is trying to say is, uh,

we're not exactly qualified for this.

Yeah. Okay, do you understand

that hundreds of thousands of teenagers

will become pregnant this year?

And now a lot of those children

will be forced to carry their babies to term,

or worse, give themselves back-alley illegal abortions,

get septic and die.

So if you all want to go hold a retractor, go ahead.

The rest of us will be here saving lives.

Hmm.

Oh, s... so, we just talk into the camera?

Not quite. Come on in.

I've organized volunteers at my son's high school.

Actual nightmare.

No.

Can't teach without students.

Hi. Hi, everybody.

Hi. There we go.

Excuse me, young man.

Where's labor and delivery?

Are you looking for someone? Yes, my daughter.

Her name is Denise. Have you seen her?

No. Um...

She's having my grandbaby today. I brought sustenance.

Hey, Adams! Come here.

Um, this is, uh...

Joyce... Joyce Ward.

Can you help her find her daughter?

She's in labor. Can't an orderly do that?

You want to go back to sex class?

Please follow me, ma'am.

Nick: Hey. Yeah?

Uh, is it true that you, uh, gave away the surgical interns?
