What Have I Done to Deserve This? (Season 2, Episode 19)

Ok, so sometimes, even the best of us make rash decisions.  Bad decisions.  Decisions we pretty much know we're going to regret the moment, the minute especially...the morning after.  I mean, maybe not "regret" regret because at least, you know, we put ourselves out there, but still, something inside us decides to do a crazy thing, a thing we know will probably turn around and bite us in the ass. Yet, we do it anyway.  What I'm saying is, we reap what we sow. What comes around, goes around.  It's karma.  And any way you slice it, karma sucks.

One way or another, our karma will always find us.   And the truth is, as surgeons, we have more chances than most to set the balance in our favor.  No matter how hard we try, we can't escape our karma.  It follows us home. I guess we can't really complain about karma.  It's not unfair.  It's not unexpected.  It just...evens the score.  And even when we're about to do something we know will tempt karma to bite us in the ass... well, it goes without saying... we do it anyway.
