Meredith Grey Monologuism

Sorry so late on the monologue! For a recap of this weeks episode, check out BuzzSugar’s update right here.

And I’ve got the big speech.

At the end of the day, the experience of practicing medicine bears little resemblance to the dream. We go into medicine because we want to save lives. We go into medicine because we want to do good. We go into medicine for the rush, for the high, for the ride. But what we remember at the end of most days are the losses. What we lie awake at the end of the day replaying, is the pain we caused… the ills we couldn’t cure… the lives we ruined… or failed to save. At the end of the day, the reality is nothing like we hoped. The reality is at the end of the day, more often than not, is turned inside out and upside down.

Some days the whole world seems upside down. And then somehow, improbably and when you least expect it, the world rights itself again.

Question to readers: if there were such a thing as a “Meredith Grey Monologuism” calendar or book, would you buy it? And who would like to join me in a living-room dance party?
