Unexpected inspiration


Was watching season 6 of Grey's Anatomy earlier, and it kinda spoke to me.
And it's not just about the sex, love triangles and other plots written just to grab the attention of viewers but.. the fact that a doctor having the power to determine his patient's future, which door his patient enters metaphorically. 
It really struck a chord with me.
In the medical world, there's always only two exits, life and death.
Watching the show just made me see that, every decision a doctor makes, is crucial in the recovery of his patient.


One mistake, and it all goes to hell.


This is probably one of the best tv shows ever, in my opinion.
A little exaggerated and a little dramatic here and there but, yeah.
It makes me laugh, cry, sad, happy all in 40+ minutes.
It makes me want to pursue my studies even harder, just so one day, I can get the chance to hold a patient's life in my hands too.
To be honest, just the idea of it scares me to death.
But, at the same time, it's really exciting.
At least it inspired to do some revision.

 Dr. Meredith Grey: After all this time, all your warnings about me sleeping with my boss and you're doing the same exact thing. 
Dr. Cristina Yang: Oh, it's not the same thing. 
Dr. Meredith Grey: It's the exact same! 
Dr. Cristina Yang: No, it's not. You and McDreamy are in a relationship.
Dr. Meredith Grey: And you and Burke are in? 
Dr. Cristina Yang: Switzerland. It's very neutral there and they make very nice watches.

IZZIE: "I wouldn't have called you, but I can't get hold of a translator. Can you just ask her what's wrong?"
CRISTINA: "No."
IZZIE: "Why not?"
CRISTINA: "I grew up in Beverly Hills. The only Chinese I know is from a Mr. Chow's menu. Besides, I'm Korean."
