Episode 3x05 "Oh, the Guilt" monologues

Opening monologue: Meredith Grey

First do no harm.
As doctors we pledge to live by this oath.
But harm happens and then guilt happens.
And there's no oath on how to deal with that.
Guilt never goes anywhere on it's own.
It brings it's friends doubt and insecurity.


Closing monologue: Meredith Grey

First do no harm, easier said than done.
We can take all the oaths in the world,
But the fact is, most of us, do harm all the time.
Sometimes even when we're trying to help,
we do more harm than good.
And then the guilt rears it's ugly head.
What you do with that guilt is up to you.
We're left with a choice;
either let the guilt throw you back into the behavior that
got you into trouble in the first place,
or learn from the guilt and do your best to move on.
