Opening monologue: Meredith Grey
Remember when we were little and we would accidentally bite a kid on the playground..
Our teachers would go 'say your sorry' and we would say it but wouldn't mean it.
Because the stupid kid we bit, totally deserved it.
But as we get older making ammends isn't so simple.
After the playground days are over you can't just say it you have to mean it.
Of course when you become a doctor. sorry is not a happy word.
It either means 'you're dying and I can't help', or it means 'this is really gonna hurt.'
Closing monologue: Meredith Grey
As doctors we can't undo our mistakes and we rarely forgive ourselves for them.
But it's a hazard of the trade. But as human beings we can always try to do better. To be better.
To right a wrong, even when it feels irreversible.
Of course 'I'm sorry' doesn't always cut it. Maybe because we use it so many different ways.
As a weapon, as an excuse..
But when we are really sorry, when we use it right, when we mean it..
When our actions say what words never can..
When we get it right, I'm sorry is perfect.
When we get it right, I'm sorry is redemption.
