În ultima vreme, mi-am petrecut timpul liber urmărind "Grey's Anatomy". Descoperisem serialul acum vreo doi ani, în vacanţa de vară, dar uitasem de el. Apoi am văzut vreo două episoade la TV şi am zis să încerc să-l văd pe tot. Nici n-a fost prea greu, m-a prins destul de tare. Mi se pare interesant şi, deşi durează de câţiva ani şi la un moment parcă o ia puţin pe arătură, nu a devenit telenovelistic, doctorii nu doar zic că sunt doctori, aproape jumătate din episod are loc în sala de operaţie, de traume sau în saloanele pacienţilor. Am văzut inimi pulsând, rinichi scăpaţi pe jos în timpul transplantului, picioare puse la loc, feţe mutilate şi refăcute şi multe alte chestii de genul.
Şi ce e drăguţ e că e realist. Nu se chinuie să tragă de personaje doar pentru că Făt-Frumos şi Ileana Consânzeana trebuie să rămână mereu împreună. În viaţa reală, din păcate, nu e aşa. Şi mă bucur că îşi respectă actorii, chiar dacă asta e posibil să însemne plecarea unui personaj care chiar îmi place şi, deci, distrugerea oricărei speranţe de "refacere" a unei anumite perechi. Şi soundtrack-ul e foarte inspirat.

În altă ordine de idei, foarte drăguţe sunt voiceover-urile, care te implică într-un fel, te fac să te gândeşti la nişte chestii. În următoarea perioadă, o să postez citate din serial, în special din voiceover-uri, dar nu numai, citate care pe mine m-au "trezit" de multe ori şi m-au făcut să mă gândesc la multe lucruri.

Practicing medicine doesn't lend itself well to the making of friends. Maybe because life and mortality are in our faces all the time. Maybe because, in staring down death every day, we're forced to know that life, every minute, is borrowed time. And each person we let ourselves care about is just one more loss somewhere down the line. For this reason, I know some doctors who just don't bother making friends at all. But the rest of us, we make it our job to move that line, to push each loss as far away as we can.

Did you say it? 'I love you. I don't ever wanna live without you. You changed my life.' Did you say it? Make a plan. Set a goal. Work toward it. But every now and then look around. Drink it in. 'Cause this is it. It might all be gone tomorrow.

I believe in heaven. I also believe in hell. I've never seen either, but... I believe they exist. They have to exist... because without a heaven... without a hell... we're all just headed for limbo. (Început de episod)
Heaven, Hell, Limbo...No one really knows where we're going or what's waiting for us when we get there, but the one thing we can say for sure with absolute certainty is there are moments that take us to another place, moments of Heaven on earth, and maybe for now, that's all we need to know. (Sfârşit de episod)

Dr. M.G.: What was the point? All those hours and all that money. what's the point? The world is a horrible place. Young people die of diseases. It makes absolutely no sense to try to be happy in a world that's such a horrible place.
Dr. W. (Her shrink) : Yes.
Dr. M.G.: What?
Dr. W.: Yes, horrible things do happen. Happiness in the face of all of that?... that's not the goal. Feeling the horrible and knowing that you're not gonna die from those feelings... that's the point.

When you spend your life with someone and you have kids together, you think it'll always be this amazing, and this wonderful. You think that you'll always feel that kind of love and I do, I do love Phil. I just... well little pieces of you get chipped away by another person and then you shave little pieces of yourself away so you'll fit together and then one day you look up and you don't even know who you are.

Giving birth may be all intense and magical and stuff but the act itself is not exactly pleasant. But it's also the beginning of something incredible... something new... something unpredictable... something true... something worth loving... something worth missing... something that will change your life forever.

The thing about addiction is, it never ends well. Because eventually, whatever it is that was getting us high, stops feeling good, and starts to hurt. Still, they say you don't kick the habit until you hit rock bottom. But how do you know when you are there? Because no matter how badly a thing is hurting us, sometimes, letting it go hurts even worse.

In the hospital, we see addiction every day. It's shocking, how many kinds of addiction exist. It would be too easy if it was just drugs and booze and cigarettes. I think the hardest part of kicking a habit is wanting to kick it. I mean, we get addicted for a reason, right? Often, too often, things that start out as just a normal part of your life at some point cross the line to obsessive, compulsive, out of control. It's the high we're chasing, the high that makes everything else fade away.

You can make your way out from everything.
