Don't Deceive Me (Please Don't Go)

“ Doctors practice deception all the time. We give vague answers to hard questions. We don't talk about post-op pain. We say, "you'll experience some discomfort". If you didn't die, we tell you, "the surgery went well". But the placebo has to be the doctor's greatest deception. Half of our patients, we tell the truth. The other half, we pray that the placebo effect's real. And we tell ourselves that they'll feel better anyhow, believing help's on the way, when, in fact, we're leaving them to die. Doctors practice deception every day on our patients, on their families. But the worst deception we practice is on ourselves. Which is why sometimes, it takes us a while to realize that the truth has been in front of us the whole time. ”

Don't Deceive Me (Please Don't Go) is the thirteenth episode of the seventh season and the 139th overall episode of Grey's Anatomy.

    • Residential care
    • NGF surgical trial

Daniel was a patient in Derek's clinical trial. He received the placebo injection. He woke up after surgery and his wife was upset that he wasn't lucid. Alex reassured her that that didn't mean the drug didn't work.

Callie Torres

  • Diagnosis:
    • Pregnancy
  • Treatment:

Callie was in for her first ultrasound and was concerned that she would miscarry or that something was wrong because she was bleeding. Lucy reassured her that nothing was wrong. When Callie refused to leave the exam table until she ruled out everything, Lucy brought in an extra sensitive machine so that she, Arizona, and Mark could hear the heartbeat.

    • Left hemicolectomy
    • Pancreatectomy
    • Islet cell autotransplantation

Mr. Windsor was in the hospital for his third operation. Breaking the rules, Bailey allowed Lexie to live-tweet the operation. While she operated, she explained why she had to do a left hemicolectomy. Then he developed a pseudoanyeurym in his splenic artery. Webber stepped in to help. He said they'd have to remove Mr. Windsor's entire pancreas. Someone from Walter Reed suggested an islet cell autotransplant. Webber initially rejected that idea, but Bailey suggested they try it. They didn't have the equipment at the hospital, but Lexie used Twitter to find a hospital that did have it that was close enough. Webber monitored the patient while Bailey went to retrieve the equipment. She was able to get 300,000 cells.

I don't want anything happening to my baby.
