Grey's Anatomy Monologues S02E11 - Owner of a Lonely Heart -
Opening :
Forty years ago, the Beatles asked the world a simple question :
they wanted to know where all the lonely people came from.
My latest theory is that a great many of the lonely people come from hospitals.

More precisely, the surgical wing of hospitals.
As surgeons, we ignore our own needs so we can meet our patients' needs.

We ignore our friends and families so we can save other people's friends and families.
Which means that, at the end of the day, all we really have is ourselves.
And nothing in this world can make you feel more alone than that. - dr. Meredith Grey -

Closing :
Four hundred years ago, another well-known English guy
had an opinion on being alone. John Donne.
He thought we were never alone. Of course it was fancier when he said it.
No man is an island entire unto himself.

Boil down that island talk and he just meant that all anyone needs
is someone to step in and let us know we're not alone.
And who's to say that someone can't have four legs.
Someone to play with, or run around with, or just hang out. - dr. Meredith Grey -


Grey's Anatomy Monologues S02E12 - Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer -
Opening :
It's an urban myth that suicide rates spike at the holidays.
Turns out they actually go down.
Experts think it's because people are less inclined to
off themselves when surrounded by family.

Ironically, that same family togetherness is thought to be the reason
that depression rates actually do spike at the holidays.
Yeah, okay. Izzie doesn't count. - dr. Meredith Grey -

Closing :
There's an old proverb that says you can't choose your family.
You take what the fates hand you.
And like them or not, love them or not,
understand them or not, you cope.

Then there's the school of thought that says
the family you're born into is simply a starting point.
They feed you, and clothe you, and take care of you
until you're ready to go out into the world and find your tribe. - dr. Meredith Grey -
