Aaah.. Two posts in a row!!!
So I'm not going to tell you what I thought of the episode tonight... I'll just leave you with a tiny part two (part one and a half if you will) of my zany childhood series... If you haven't checked out the first one... Well you should, but you don't need to to get this.
Maybe if it hadn’t happened she would be a different person. She often wonders about it when she’s trying to go to sleep, with Burke breathing softly next to her. She wonders if she’d still be a surgeon.
In a way it was a good thing. His death. It was a good thing. She wouldn’t have learned what needed to be learned.
There are other nights when she wishes it never happened. Nights when she can’t fall asleep (she’s always been somewhat of an insomniac). Nights where all she wants to do is go into the hospital and cut people open. Cut, suture, and repeat. She can’t explain why it gives her so much pleasure… The sight of blood… Gore and accidents. It brings her back. Why does she love reliving that moment? She figures she must be crazy.
The sight of blood has never been more traumatizing to Christina Yang as it is in this one moment. This one second, where her father is on the ground bleeding, his body shielding hers. She can’t breathe. She wants to scream but she can’t. She’s trapped and her dad is bleeding. She shuts her eyes. Tries to drown out the shrill sirens that are coming closer and closer. When she shuts her eyes, all she sees is red. She’s shivering. She can’t comprehend what’s just happened.
What’s just happened? A thirty two year old man by the name of David Yang has just saved his nine year old daughter’s life, in turn, sacrificing his own.
Onlookers are shocked, but when they go home it’ll just be a story. A story they anxiously retell to their families. A story that fades away as years, days, even seconds go by.
But for the little girl in the car, the girl whose name is Christina Yang (a fact the onlookers will never know)… Her life is this moment. It is forever changed, forever affected.
