I watched a re-run of Greys Anatomy tonight. It has to be one of the saddest episodes ever. For those of you who watch it, it was the train wreck episode where two patients are stuck on a phone together and the surgeons have to decide who gets to live and who gets to die. I know people make decisions based on the best information possible, but I wonder if I could make a call like that, knowing I was sending a person to her death. Doctors have a bad reputation these days for being arrogant, but I have to say, it takes a confident person to be able to make the split second decisions that they make. Having a humble heart is important for all of us, but having a decisive and confident attitiude can be a very good thing as well.
Anyways. I thought the ending quote was interesting. Meredith said that as surgeons, they like to know everything, but as people, sometimes it's better not to know. Because though there is fear in the darkness, there is also hope. I thought that was an interesting perspective.
