Scars and Souvenirs

“ People have scars. In all sorts of unexpected places. Like secret road maps of their personal histories. Diagrams of all their old wounds. Most of our wounds heal, leaving nothing behind but a scar. But some of them don't. Some wounds we carry with us everywhere and though the cut's long gone, the pain still lingers. What's worse, new wounds which are so horribly painful or old wounds that should've healed years ago and never did? Maybe our old wounds teach us something. They remind us where we've been and what we've overcome. They teach us lessons about what to avoid in the future. That's what we like to think. But that's not the way it is, is it? Some things we just have to learn over and over and over again. ”

Scars and Souvenirs is the eighteenth episode of the third season and the 54th overall episode of Grey's Anatomy.

Medical Notes

Jane Doe

  • Diagnosis:
    • Pregnancy
    • Orbital bone fracture
  • Treatment:
    • Surgery
    • Cervical cerclage

The Jane Doe from the ferry crash still had not been identified. She needed surgery on her eye in order to prevent her from losing her vision, possibly permanently. In surgery, the baby started having late decels and there was vaginal bleeding, so they had to page Addison to do a cervical cerclage. Her surgery was completed successfully.

Mr. Scofield

  • Diagnosis:
    • Scapula injury
    • Foreign body in scapula
    • Infection
  • Treatment:
    • Surgical extraction

Mr. Scofield had been shot 50 years prior. The bullet hadn't started hurting until recently, which is what prompted him to come into the clinic. Izzie took films to confirm that it was a bullet causing his pain. The bullet was working its way into his scapula and was infected, which caused the pain. They removed the bullet successfully.

Helen Crawford

  • Diagnosis:
    • Parafalcine meningioma
    • Venous air embolism
  • Treatment:
    • Sagittal sinus bypass
    • Open cardiac massage

Helen had a brain tumor which she had had surgery to remove partially three times prior. Because of its delicate location, they left a small part of the tumor each time, which allowed it to grow back. She was in for her fourth resection, which she decided would be her last. Determined not to let her die, Derek proposed a riskier surgery which would remove the whole tumor. In surgery, she developed a venous air embolism, so Derek did an open cardiac massage, which was successful. Her tumor was also removed successfully.

Cristina's Patient

  • Diagnosis:
  • Treatment:
    • Hysterectomy

Cristina mentioned prepping a hysterectomy to Burke.

Burke's Patient

  • Diagnosis:
    • Transposition of great arteries
  • Treatment:
    • Arterio switch operation

Burke invited Colin Marlow to observe him doing an artery switch operation on a TGA.

Quotes

Izzie: Alex is moving in?! To this house?!
Meredith: He's taking George's room.
Izzie: Why?
Derek: I was asleep just a minute ago.
Izzie: Uh! And I was naked - in the bathroom - when Alex walked in. I'm lucky I didn't come out of the shower to see him peeing all over the seat.
Derek: And we're up.
(Derek leaves)
Izzie: What's wrong with where he was living before?
Meredith: I don't know where he was living before.
Izzie: Probably a whorehouse.
(Meredith laughs)
Izzie: I can't have him living in the room right next door. It's weird.
Meredith: People are what matters. Alex is one of our people. We can't just leave him out in the cold.
Izzie: 'People are what matters.' You don't like people. Is this about your mother?
Meredith: No! I had a near-death whatever and I was dead. And now I'm not. So, I'd like to use this chance I've been given to be more positive. People are what matters. Paint with all the colors of the wind.
Izzie: Oh, okay. You're crazy now.
Meredith: (giggling) I'm alive.
Izzie: Yeah, okay.
George: I need you to get over yourself. I need you to start liking my wife. I need you to like her because sometimes I don't and I need you to talk me back into it. You say you're my friend and that's the job.
Izzie: Okay.
George: I need to vent, and I need it to be okay.
Izzie: Okay.
George: And I need to vent with alcohol. (Izzie gets glasses, then goes to pour them a drink, George stops her) I got married and I'm scared that it was a bad idea.
Izzie: Nobody ever got married and didn't think that at least once.
Derek: (Talking about Meredith to her dad) She’s tough. She tries to hide it. She’s difficult. But if you make an effort, she’s worth it. She’s worth the effort.
