There's a short pause of quietness....

"Meredith?"

I look at the monitor and I see something wrong with her brain. I instantly recognize it and immediately press the red button for help. I rush into the room.

I see Meredith, but she's passed out, unconscious. I quickly pick her up, getting her out of the scanner. The nurses come in and help me take her to the OR.

"We need to get her into surgery right away! She has a brain bleed!" I shout in fright.

I'm scared shitless! I can't think straight, I feel like I'm numb... like maybe I'm on autopilot mode.

We get to the OR. The nurses quickly put her on the table, while I scrub in and put my gloves on and my lucky ferryboat scrub cap. I walk into the room and I see Meredith laying on the table. I begin to feel my heart stop beating.

I have to pull myself together. I need to do this surgery. I have to hurry!

I quickly put on my headlight and grab the scalpel. I place the blade close to her skin, getting ready to make an incision. I hesitate to make the first cut.

My hands start to shake. My breathing getting fast. The thought of cutting into my wife's head. It's terrifying! I can feel sharp pains in my chest and stomach.

I try to take a deep breath attempting to push all of my fear I have back down, preparing myself to cut into my wife's brain.

I make the first cut into her skull.

20 minutes go by...

I'm in the brain, trying to stop the bleeding. Then all of a sudden the heart monitor starts beeping rapidly.

"Something's wrong." I mumble, shaking my head. I look at her vitals. And I begin to feel a rush of panic.

The doors swing open and Amelia comes in the OR.
"Derek" Amelia says in a worried tone, standing there. Holding her mask to her face.

I don't answer or even look up. I stay concentrated and focus on operating.

"Derek you shouldn't be the one doing this." Amelia gets closer to me.

"I can do this, I can save her." I say quietly. The panic slowly turning into anger and guilt.

"Let me take over." Amelia watches me.

"Wait! Just wait!" I say harshly, as I keep looking for any other way to quit the bleeding. A few seconds go by and I still can't see anything. My breathing getting fast. Like there's something compressing my lungs making it hard to inhale... it burns.

"I can stop the bleeding!" I say sternly. I'm not going to give up on her.

Amelia watches me struggle.
"Derek just let me." She begs softly, putting her hand out, waiting for me to give her my scalpel.

"Please just wait!" I shout. My face getting sweaty. My hands and legs shaking, and weakening. I have to fix this.... I can fix this.. I can fix this.. I can fix this... I repeat to myself over and over in my head.
