Grey's Anatomy

There comes a point in every surgeon's career

where the novelty wears off and monotony sets in.

Dr. Wilson?

Mrs. Salazar with chorio needs to see an OB.

Oh, yeah.

- Okay. Yeah, on my way. - Okay.

Whoo.

- Oh, no. This way. - Yeah.

You go to work. You perform the same procedures over and over.

You get home late. Eat leftovers straight out of the fridge. Go to sleep.

Could you stop that? I'm trying to buy a new mini fridge.

No, I have to make it to ten.

This place is like an abandoned gold rush town.

With condoms.

That one was on purpose.

Then you wake up and do it all over again.

The second you get lulled into the routine, that's when it happens.

- She's coding. - Again?

That's when you meet the patient who changes your life.

Starting compressions.

- Quite a pair, aren't we? -

Me and my sling, and you and your 30-week... glow.

- Awesomeness. Awesome glow. - I'm almost done here.

Take your time. I'll work on notes.

Have Scout and Luna ran your parents out of town yet?

No, I hope not. We're gonna need all the help we can get.

Though I will be glad when my mom stops badgering me

- about getting the twins baptized. -

I already told her we should wait until they're at least

- eight weeks. - Eighteen.

- Are you serious? - Uh...

- Can you take a look at our new admission? - I'm off. Just have Dr. Marcus do it.

There was an incident. She threw a water pitcher at him.

Well, can you blame her?

Um, do you want to just work in here? I won't be long.

- Yeah. - Great. Okay.

It's the moment of truth.

Millin is down to the line. This shot will win all the marbles.

Hey! Foul!

It's a made-up game.

- Where do you think you're going? - Home.

We should be in the OR, not wasting time on Bailey's pet project.

Dr. Kwan.

Which is providing people with the care they so desperately need.

Uh, you look fancy. Big plans?

Uh, if you mean dinner with my husband and no children, then yes.

Uh, today's no-shows, follow up.

Try to reschedule.

Mercedes Hernandez? Again?

But her prescription for PCOS and diabetes expired months ago.

She was hospitalized for diabetic ketoacidosis back in March.

You cannot force a patient to come and see you.

- All you can do is... - Follow up.

Good. Don't forget to restock the beds before you close,

and if you need anything, call someone else.

- And, Millin. - Yeah. Yes?

Condoms are not a toy.

- Yeah. - I'll get started on the beds.

- What, Adams still isn't here? - Negative.

My mother always said, "Early is on time, on time is late, and late is..."

- "Unacceptable." My dad says that too. -

Uh, and I'm about to be late for a hernia repair.

Can you do the workup on a new transfer from Vashon?

Of course.

Thanks. And tell Adams he owes you one.

Yeah.

Oh, great. First Doogie Howser, now pregnant Barbie.

Amy, I am Dr. Wilson and I am here to check your cervix. Is that okay with you?

Are you a real doctor? Or a rookie like the other guy?

I'm an OB resident, a board-certified general surgeon,

and your only other option right now.

- Okay. - Fine.

I want an unmedicated vaginal birth.

It's probably a foreign concept around here,

but women have been doing it for millennia.

Okay. You are four centimeters dilated. Let's take a look.

Right...

Okay, your baby is breech. It's coming feet first.

I know. She's supposed to turn by now, but she's being difficult.

Okay, we can try to turn her with a procedure called

external cephalic version, but if that doesn't work,

you will need a C-section.

I read online you can still deliver a breech baby vaginally.

It is possible, but unfortunately, it is high risk for the baby,

so we tend to...

A C-section isn't in my birth plan.

Okay. I will try to turn her by pushing on your belly.

It's more likely to be successful if you have an epidural in place.

Also not in my birth plan.

When I say I'm having an unmedicated birth,

I am having an unmedicated birth, okay?

I understand. I will, um, give you a minute

and then I will be back to do the version.

Ms. Evans, hi, I'm Dr. Griffith. How are you feeling?

- Ready to party. -

Glad to hear it. Meade?

- Yeah, one sec. -

Regina Evans, 51, presents with congestive heart failure,

renal failure, and a hospital-acquired pneumonia

in the setting of polyarteritis nodosa, or PAN.

- Which is? - A rare form of vasculitis.

- Mmm. - In other words,

I got one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel.

She's on four liters nasal cannula and a Bumex strip.

Mmm. Welcome to Grey-Sloan.

- Mmm. - What's the plan?

Oh. Uh, call an attending?

She needs a CBC, CMP, coags, blood cultures,

an EKG and a CT of the chest and abdomen.

Right. Yeah. On it.

I'll be back to check on you.

There's some photos in that bag there.

Would you be a dear and grab them for me?

Sure.

Oh, yeah.

I've seen a lot of hospital rooms. Photos help make it homey.

- I've always wanted to go to Paris. - Greatest city on Earth.

You're a chef.

Retired, but I still throw a hell of a dinner party.

Why do you have a photo of my mom?

Hi, um... Ms. Hernandez. This is Dr. Kwan calling about your appointment today.

We wanted to check on your diabetes. Give us a call back to reschedule.

Huh. She missed three appointments.

I know she has childcare issues sometimes, but she usually calls.

I'm gonna miss my bus. You want to give me a ride home?

You live on the other side of town.

What if I bribe you with cake?

It's from Max and Irvin's tasting last week,

but the red velvet is still good.

- Is that a no? - Uh... I will give you a ride home,

but we're making a stop on the way.

Isn't your car outside?

I need a few things.

You're Niecy and Wayne's baby girl?

Simone. You were friends with my mom?

Friends? Girl, we were attached at the hip.

Grew up around the corner from each other.

I can't believe this. Simone Griffith, all grown up and a doctor.

Surgeon actually.

Mama Joyce must be so proud.

- You know Granny? - She was basically my surrogate mom.

You still talk to her or my dad?

Well, we fell out of touch. I think after your mom...

I brought up painful memories.

- Is there someone I can call for you? - No.

My mom's on a senior cruise in Antarctica.

Sounds cold if you ask me, but she's my only family.

This might be a little cold.

Remind me never to leave Amelia's during rush hour.

Not my responsibility.

Hey. Hi, I'm Dr. Adams. I'll be taking over your care.

Once Dr. Griffith gets me up to speed, we'll head to CT, all right?

- Sounds good. - Griffith?

Yeah, I'll be right there. I'm just gonna finish her echo.

It's colder in here than on my mom's cruise.

I'll have the nurse bring you another blanket.

I wasn't talking about me.

Hey, I'm gonna be a while.

My patient is in active labor and her baby is breech.

- Sounds great. -

Hey, when did you talk to my mom about baptizing the twins?

Um...

Two days ago?

She told me that you didn't want to talk about it.

I thought I was doing you a favor.

I thought you weren't religious.

Did I ever say that I wasn't?

Have you been going to church and I haven't noticed?

No, but that doesn't mean that I don't believe in God.

Oh, okay.

Um...

- Define God. - What?

I just want to know what God is to you.

God is, um...

God, I don't... I don't know.

It's like porn. You know it when you see it.

Okay, did you just compare God to porn?

- It felt wrong coming out of my mouth... -

...but, um, the principle still applies.

Have you ever been to church?

Yeah, in high school I would hit up the Korean church

for free meals all the time.

Not helping your case.

- Why are you cross-examining me? - I...

I'm just trying to understand.

Okay.

Um...

Talking to your mom reminded me

of the nights that I would eat in the church courtyard

and peek in at the youth group

or the senior Bible study,

and it was this community that I never had that I want for our kids.

- So my mother got to you. - It's not ritual sacrifice.

It's pouring water on their heads.

And initiating them into a religion I don't believe in.

And up until a few minutes ago, I thought you didn't believe in either.

- Well... -

- Where are you going? - To flip a stubborn baby. Go figure.

This is weird.

You know we could get fired for this? Or sued? Or both?
