2. Summary:

   Annie Conners is a patient who has a major phobia of hospitals, because “every time someone she has loved” has been hospitalized, “they’ve died”—which is why she hid the severity of her condition from her family, and became a recluse in her own home rather than go to the hospital. Eventually her mother discovers just how bad her condition truly is, and calls 911. Cristina tells her she should’ve called a year ago.

   Bailey and Burke are talking about it, and Bailey mentions that she wonders if Annie even wants to live, after hiding her condition for so long.

   Bailey and Burke send Annie down for a CT scan. Earlier, Bailey had specifically instructed the interns that they’d need all hands on deck for this surgery to succeed, so they needed to hide whatever their reactions/comments might be in regard to Annie’s size and the state of her tumor, and stay professional—so Alex is very charming and kind to Annie’s face, making her smile and relax.

   When they take her to CT, Annie is distressed, but Alex comforts her, and tells her everything will be okay because he’ll be “right there the whole time” during her surgery.

   But when he and Izzie are in the control room doing the CT scan, he throws Bailey’s instructions and all professionalism out the window, gossiping about how Annie disgusts hims, asking Izzie how anyone could let their body get “like that” (meaning fat, ugly, gross, leaving an overgrown tumor untreated, etc). He says she's sick in the head, “nasty”, and that he doesn't know how she can even live with herself—without realizing that she can hear everything he’s saying because he left the room mic on.

   To Annie, what Karev says just confirms her own opinion that she has no value as a person, that she was right to hide herself away, and would be better off dead.

   When taken back to her room, she tries to find reasons to decline the surgery; it’s implied to the audience that she hates herself and would prefer to die than to endure yet another doctor looking at her body and judging her. But after her mother begs, Annie agrees to the surgery—but ONLY if Karev is not allowed in the room.

   Karev realizes that she heard what he’d said in the CT room, and he is shocked and horrified. It’s implied by his expression and reaction that he regrets his flippant, judgmental comments—but it’s too late to make it right. Burke privately tells him off, saying that he could easily be sued and needs to keep his mouth shut about other peoples’ bodies when his job is to care for them.

   Later while the surgical team is operating on Annie, and Alex is watching from the observation gallery (apparently he forgot to change his pager’s battery and misses out on dozens on pages to help Izzie with a different patient), one of the large blood vessels feeding Annie’s tumor bursts, and Burke yells that he needs more O negative blood. Karev runs to get the blood, but by the time he makes it back, it’s too late. Annie bleeds to death on the operating table.
