Chapter 20

Sky: "Let's leave the hook in until we get him up to the OR."

April: "I'm feeling a depressed skull fracture."

Derek: "All right. Go ahead and order a head CT."

April: "Right away, chief."

➿

Derek: "Thought I'd check to see how far along we are."

Sky: "Almost ready to extract the hook. Suction."

April: "After they get him off the hook, we'll go in to evacuate the hematoma and plate the skull fragments, right?"

Derek: "No, I thought we'd throw him back in. Catch and release" he jokes and everyone chuckles except for April who laughs loudly making everyone look at her weirdly "Thank you, Dr. Kepner."

Owen: "Well, Walter's lucky. It looks like he doesn't have to lose any lungs."

Jackson: "Yeah, no thanks to his kid."

Owen: "Mm."

Teddy: "Well, it was an accident. That happens."

Derek: "That kid shouldn't have been there in the first place."

Teddy: "Well, he's the guy's son...family business. There's something to be said for loyalty."

Derek: "You put a person in a job like that because they have the skills to handle it, not because they're your friend or your kid."

Teddy: "Are you intentionally equating me with the idiot son that dropped the crab cage on his dad or is that just a happy coincidence?" she asks as an awkward silence comes over to the room 

Sky: "All right. Ready to extract the hook from the man."

Derek: "All right, nobody moves but Dr. Hunt."

Owen: "On my count. One...two..." Teddy suddenly sneezes making the hook shift 

Sky: "Snagged an artery."

Teddy: "I'm sorry. I'm...I'm sorry."

Derek: "God bless you."

➿

Owen: "Okay, what happened?"

Meredith: "He became lethargic and febrile, coughed up blood. His sats dropped out. His x-ray shows there's a large hemothorax where we took the hook out."

Teddy: "All right. Well, then we're gonna have to go back in. The repairs must not have held."

Derek: "You should get a CT to confirm before cutting into a patient that's unstable."

Teddy: "There's no time for that. You wait, and he could go into multisystem organ failure. Shepherd, you have to trust that I know what I'm doing." she says as Derek looks over at Sky and Owen before sighing 

Derek: "I'll call up to the OR. Let 'em know you're coming. Yes, this is chief Shepherd. We're gonna need a cardiac OR."

➿

Sky: "Karev, what's the status on your patient?"

Alex: "Temperature spiked, but the dude's doing fine. We're running new labs."

Lexie: "Dr. Altman, stop." she hurries into the room

Owen: "Dr. Grey, you always shout at people right before they start operating?"

Lexie: "Doug has klebsiella pneumonia. And I'm guessing Walter here does, too. We need to start to imipenem, stat, or things could get ugly fast."

Teddy: "Klebsiella?"

Lexie: "It's highly contagious in close quarters, like living on a crab boat for months at a time. And I think that hemothorax is a mixture of blood and an empyema."

Alex: "Thanks for the heads-up." he mutters to her

Lexie: "Yeah, well, you were busy."

Owen: "Maybe we should open him to check anyway."

Teddy: "No, I, um...I-I think I was wrong here." she sighs

Derek: "Get him out of the OR, into the I.C.U. now." he says from the gallery before walking out

➿

Callie: "Sky. I need you right now." she stops the woman from walking

Sky: "Uh Derek paged me for something. I gotta go."

Callie: "No this is more important. Trust me." she leads her down the hall

➿

Mark: "Now just remember, the Sloans, we bloom early. So when you start to grow hair on your face, don't be shy. Live it up. All the other guys will be jealous. And it's okay to rub it in a little bit. But not a lot. You don't want to be considered too full of yourself. No one likes a vain guy in the locker room." he says to the baby when Callie comes into the room 

Callie: "Mark." she moves out the way so a couple can come into the room

Woman: "Oh, my god. Is that him?" she breathes and Mark passes the baby to her

Man: "Hey there. Hi there, little guy."

Woman: "Oh. He's so beautiful."

Mark: "This is, uh...and, uh, this..." he hands them a bag and a teddy bear

Woman: "Thank you" she smiles at him before looking down at the baby who fusses "Oh. Shh. Okay." Mark moves over to the door and watches them. He feels a hand on his shoulder and turns to find Sky standing there giving him a soft smile. He gives her a soft one back before grabbing her hand and squeezing it for comfort
