在一個心臟手術(shù)中，Meredith捧著心臟的時候，她打了一個小盹，指甲劃破了手套。病人出現(xiàn)了各種不良癥狀，Meri不知道是不是因為自己的過錯。而在一次急救中，她當(dāng)著病人丈夫的面對Burke喊出了自己的失誤。Chief給一位5年前手術(shù)后一直不舒服的病人手術(shù)時，發(fā)現(xiàn)原因是5年前的手術(shù)在病人體內(nèi)留下了一塊towel。Bailey讓Christina查5年前是誰做的手術(shù)，發(fā)現(xiàn)是Burke。Burke背負了5年的心理負疚，終于找到機會，在幫Meredith辯護的時候，也解除了自己多年的心理負擔(dān)。

Meredith: So, I have done a lot of research on this and Dr. Burke has been kind enough to help me. ____1____. However, ____2____. She still weighs 200 pounds, which is why no one even noticed it, but with that kind of a weight drop, it doesn't matter how much you weigh, technically, you're anorexic.

Burke: So, along with all that fat, she was losing muscle, heart muscle.

Webber: That certainly could be a reason for a small poke to become a large tear.

Lawyer: That still doesn't change the fact that the small poke wasn't reported by Dr. Grey at the time of the occurrence.

Meredith: And if I could change that...

Lawyer: And you can't, ____3____.

Burke: No, not if the patient's weight loss caused the problem.

Lawyer: I'm sorry. I have no choice here.

Burke: I've spoken to the husband. And I believe as long as his wife remains stable.

Lawyer: ____4____, Dr. Burke. Dr. Grey made a huge error.

Burke: And she reported it.

Lawyer: Too late. And in front of the patient's husband.

Burke: But she reported it. She spoke up. (pause) Five years ago, as a CT fellow, I had a nagging feeling that I didn't check the body cavity of a lung patient closely enough before I closed. The patient seemed fine post-op and I was in a hurry. And yesterday, you and Dr. Bailey pulled a towel out from under that patient's lung. Why didn't I report it at the appropriate time? Maybe because I was afraid that I would be called into a meeting where some hospital lawyer's fear of liability could end my career. ____5____. And when we do, ____6____ Or everyone suffers. Dr. Grey spoke up.
