To a degree, medicine is a science...but I would argue that it's also an art. The doctors who see medicine as a science only, you don't want them by your side when you're bleeding won't stop or when your child is screaming in pain. The clinicians go by the book. The artists follow their guts. The artists feel your pain and they go to extremes to make it stop. Extreme measures. That's where science ends and art begins.

Meredith

People, people, our own trauma's fresh, and we are going to have feelings today, and there's no shame in that. What I want to say is that what we went through six months ago they are going through right now. Which makes them our brothers and sisters. Which makes them fellow travelers. Which makes them our own. So to the very best of our ability we are going to do our work first, and you're gonna have your feelings later.

Richard

Nothing about this is okay.

Derek

Body block him, Karev. Don't let him near that leg.

Arizona

Dr. Stark, you're new here, but in this hospital, we take shootings personally.

Callie

Dr. Grey, you're a surgeon, not a social worker.

Derek

Go be a damn doctor. People are dying. Now go save a life. Right now.

Richard

Dr. Avery, I operated on Iraqi soldiers who blew up dozens of our guys. I didn't like it, but I did it because I'm a doctor, and I took an oath. You're not a jury or a judge. If there's a life to be saved, we save that life regardless.

Teddy

No, no, you will not hold me hostage and make me listen to you. I am rebuilding the leg of a kid who's been shot. That's, that's why I'm here. That's the only reason.

Callie

[to Mer] You don't get to act like a spoiled little brat in my OR.

Derek

Honestly, you and Cristina are so busy supporting each other, have you even noticed that I went through a trauma too? I was the wife in the waiting room Derek, and it's so hard to be the wife in the waiting room, so hard that I walked into the OR while the shooter had a gun to you and told him to shoot me instead, that's how hard it is to be the wife in the waiting room.

Meredith

Teddy: Thank you for staying today Cristina. I know it can't have been an easy decision.
Cristina: You know what, though, it was.

Grey's Anatomy Season 7 Quotes

He's fine, we're all coming back to work today (pause - Meredith is thinking about Derek getting shot) - we are all fine.

Meredith

Every cell in the human body regenerates on average every seven years. Like snakes, in our own way we shed our skin. Biologically we are brand new people. We may look the same, we probably do, the change isn't visible at least in most of us, but we are all changed completely forever.

Meredith
