Storytellers are like gods in their own little universes. Powerful indeed! *G*

Just now, every time I watch an episode in which someone's surgery goes wrong causing much drama and excitement while the crisis is resolved, I picture it happening during one of Alex's surgeries...because I'm also picturing multiple surgeries. I have this recurring image of Meredith calling in to see him on her way to take Derek home, Alex grumbling about Shepherd being discharged so soon, and Meredith pointing out that their injuries were different, he had more surgery than Derek and lost a lot more blood, so is going to have to suck it up and wait out the longer recovery.
