Yep... my heart... shattered! I cried in anticipation of crying some more next week.
I think Izzie called Cristina a robot because that is her medical 'nickname' if you like, George has called her a robot and I think a few other characters have referred to her in the same way before too... I don't think they mean it literally, just that she isn't overly emotional and unprofessional when it comes to things like that. She can put aside emotion and still do her job extremely well. I don't feel bad at all for Cristina, if one of my friends had just found out they only had a 5% survival rate from a devastating illness that was going to kill them quickly and painfully and they wanted to confide in me I would be more than willing to 'keep their secret' for as long as they need to be able to process it. Obviously Izzie needed to tell SOMEONE and seriously, in that position who wouldn't need to tell someone, and with no family around her options were limited. I totally understand why she told Cristina and I think Cristina would totally understand too. This is a whole lot more than just Izzie being self absorbed and piling her shit onto someone else. This is a world (and life) ending diagnosis and I think the way Cristina handled it showed that she totally understood and accepted that Izzie had something more to tell her than just gossip.

Of course... just my humble opinion.
