LisaGay Hamilton: Dr. Connie Ryan

Quotes 

• Dr. Connie Ryan : [to Meredith]  Well, I didn't expect to see you again so soon.

  Dr. Derek Shepherd : Her contractions are every three minutes.

  Dr. Cristina Yang : And she doesn't want drugs.

  Dr. Derek Shepherd : I have Dr. Knox available in case she changes her mind.

  Dr. Cristina Yang : Look, she doesn't want drugs.

  Dr. Meredith Grey : Okay, can everybody please just shut up? I want to push. I feel like I need to push. Can I push?

  Dr. Connie Ryan : I just need to check first...

  [Connie checks Meredith] 

  Dr. Cristina Yang : What's going on?

  Dr. Connie Ryan : Meredith, I need you not to push.

  Dr. Meredith Grey : Why?

  Dr. Connie Ryan : There's face presentation. I can feel your baby's face, so we're gonna have to do a C-section.

  Dr. Meredith Grey : A C-section? I do not want to have surgery.

  Dr. Derek Shepherd : I know.

  Dr. Cristina Yang : Alright, you know what? It's just a "C." That's barely surgery. A moron could do a "C."

  [to Connie] 

  Dr. Cristina Yang : I... no offense.

• Dr. Derek Shepherd : So what are the risks of repositioning the baby?

  Dr. Meredith Grey : Not the minor risks, the big, ugly, scary risks because I'm a lightning rod for those.

  Dr. Connie Ryan : It's not an option.

  Dr. Meredith Grey : Why not?

  Dr. Derek Shepherd : Are you saying babies with face presentation can't be born naturally?

  Dr. Connie Ryan : It's not a good option.

  Dr. Derek Shepherd : Neither is cutting into my wife in the dark.

  Dr. Connie Ryan : How many babies have you delivered in your career, Dr. Shepherd? What, a couple, maybe more? When I say a vaginal delivery isn't an option, I mean, it's not an option. Now I could stand here and waste time explaining how your baby is in a mento-posterior position and how pushing a baby like that will hyperextend its neck, which can be fatal, or I can better spend my time prepping your wife... and baby for delivery that will not endanger either of their lives. So... which do you prefer?

  Dr. Meredith Grey : We're having a C-section in the dark.

  Dr. Derek Shepherd : Yes... we are.

• Dr. Connie Ryan : Okay, Meredith, I've closed your uterus and I just started to suture your incisions. Do you trust these guys to finish? Have you taught them that much?

  Dr. Heather Brooks : I'll do it.

  Dr. Shane Ross : No. You stole neuro. You're not stealing this. This is my surgery, my patient, my incision, mine. Dr. Grey, I'm sorry. That was inappropriate.

  Dr. Meredith Grey : It's okay, Ross. I like the enthusiasm. Go scrub.

• Dr. Cristina Yang : [to Connie]  Can't you just rotate the baby and... and push his face away?

  Dr. Connie Ryan : It's very risky, for the baby, for Meredith.

  Dr. Shane Ross : [walks in the room]  Uh, Dr. Yang. Dr. Webber needs you in O.R. Two.

  Dr. Cristina Yang : To do what? I can't operate in the dark. No one is operating in the dark.
