Meredith: [narrating] There’s a reason surgeons learn to wield scalpels. We like to pretend we’re hard, cold scientists. We like to pretend we're fearless. But the truth is we become surgeons because somewhere deep down we think we can cut away that which haunts us. Weakness, frailty, death.

I really like this quote because it's so true. As human beings we need to feel that we're in control of everything that goes on in life. When things don't go our way, we freak out. The surgeon with his scalpel is a perfect analogy of this truth.
