Episode 5x12 "Sympathy For the Devil" monologues


Opening monologue: Meredith Grey

My mother used to say this about residency..
it takes a year to learn how to cut, it takes a lifetime to learn not to.
Of all the tools on the surgical tray, sound judgement is the trickiest one to master.
And without it, we're all just toddlers running around with 10 blades.


Closing monologue: Meredith Grey

We're human, we make mistakes, we misestimate, we call it wrong..
But when a surgeon makes a bad judgement call, it's not as simple.
People get hurt, they bleed..
So we struggle, over every stitch.
We agonize, over every suture.
Because the snap judgements, the ones that come to us..
quickly and easily, without hesitation..
they're the ones that haunt us forever.
