Dina really enjoys Grey's Anatomy. Most of the time I do too...Tonights' episode was a re-run of an 2 part episode called Six Days that originally aired back in January. I didn't watch both parts back then. Not sure whether I should have tonite, either.
For those of you that don't watch... it's a show about a bunch of surgical interns and their supervisors at fictional Seattle Grace Hospital.
In Part 2 - George's (one of the interns) Dad, who's been suffering from cancer, is no longer breathing on his own. The O'Malleys (George's family) are told that their father is now completely dependent on life support and that it's their choice if they want to prolong his life or pull the plug. They all turn to George to ask what he thinks.
He tells them that his Dad's not going to wake up and that it's time.
George's family all gathers around Mr. O'Malley's bed. His mother kisses his father goodbye and then they disconnect his life support.
Afterward, Cristina (another intern - who's normally not the one with the best bedside manner) is the one to find George and comfort him... telling him that no one understands until you've gone through it, and that she lost her father and she joined the 'Dead Dad's Club' when she was 9. She also tells him that she's sorry he had to join the club. (Click here for link to clip)
George says, "I don't know how to exist in a world where my Dad doesn't..."
"Yeah, that never really changes", Cristina responds.
She's right, you know... it never really changes!
I miss you Dad!
