“ When you were a kid, it was Halloween candy. You hid it from your parents and you ate it until you got sick. In college, it was the heavy combo of youth, tequila and well, you know. As a surgeon, you take as much of the good as you can get because it doesn't come around nearly as often as it should. 'Cause good things aren't always what they seem. Too much of anything, even love, is not always a good thing. How do you know when how much is too much? Too much too soon. Too much information. Too much fun. Too much love. Too much to ask... And when is it all just too much to bear? ”

Much too Much is the tenth episode of the second season and the 19th overall episode of Grey's Anatomy.

  • Treatment:
    • Hypertonic saline solution
    • Surgery

Robert, 45, collapsed and hit his head, causing a subdural hemorrhage. He also had uncontrolled eye movement and delirium. He had low sodium because he was drinking more to quench increased thirst caused by a Rathke's cleft cyst. They treated his condition with hypertonic saline and planned surgery. Robert locked himself in the bathroom and drank water despite orders not to drink anything, so he was given more saline, but an incorrect dosage was ordered, which dehydrated his brain and caused it to swell.

(Cristina takes out Burke's key)
Meredith: Burke keyed you?
Cristina: I got freaking keyed before coffee.
Meredith: What is wrong with them?
Cristina: They're like these 1950s debutantes, one dance and there's a shotgun to your head.
(Meredith's One-Night-Stand walks up)
Steve: Meredith? You work here?
Meredith: What are you doing here...um...Steve?
Steve: I'm having a little problem.
Cristina: Steve, Steve?
Steve: Actually, I'm having a big problem.
(Moves his jacket to reveal his erect penis. Cristina notices and starts staring at it. Meredith doesn't notice.)
Meredith: What?
Cristina: (Still staring) Steve, hi! Cristina.
Steve: Ever since you...and I... (Meredith follows Cristina's gaze and does a double-take) Um... It won't go away.
Meredith: Cristina!
Cristina: What? It's right there, looking at me! There are so many things I could say right now — Champ!
