Grey`s Anatomy Monologues & Music Featured S07E19 - It`s A Long Way Back -

Grey`s Anatomy Monologues S07E19 - It`s A Long Way Back -
Opening :
After a trauma, your body is at its most vulnerable.
Response time is critical.
So you're suddenly surrounded by people...
Doctors, nurses...Specialists, technicians.

Surgery is a team sport...
everyone pushing for the finish line...
Putting you back together again.
We call it recovery.

Recovery is not a team sport.
It's a solitary distance run.

But surgery is a trauma in and of itself.
And once it's over, the real healing begins.
It's long, it's exhausting...
and it's lonely as hell. - dr. Meredith Grey -

Music Featured :

Now Now : "Neighbors"
Little Red : "Slow Motion"
Amy Stroup : "Love You Strongly"
The National : "Vanderlyle Crybaby Geeks"
Joe Brooks : "These Broken Hands of Mine"

Closing :
The length of your recovery.
is determined by the extent of your injuries...
And it's not always successful.
No matter how hard we work at it...

Some wounds might never fully heal...
You might have to adjust to a whole new way of living.
Things may have changed too radically...
To ever go back to what they were.

It might not even recognize yourself.
It's like you haven't recovered anything at all.
You're a whole new person.
with a whole new life. - dr. Meredith Grey -

Strange Male Frog that Broods 19 Babies in its Mouth

Imagine giving birth by having numerous babies squirming, kicking, tumbling and otherwise letting you know they are there... in your vocal sac. It makes nine months of normal pregnancy seem like a cakewalk! Even more amazing is the fact that it is only the males of the two species of Darwin's frog that undergo this 'pregnancy'.
They are the last known living mouth brooders after two female mouth brooder species became extinct shortly after they were discovered in Australia 20 years ago.
This bizarre form of parental care is unique. After the eggs hatch, the males take them into their mouth and down into the vocal sac where they continue to grow as tadpoles until they turn into froglets. The males can brood up to 19 tadpoles in their vocal sac, often giving the frogs the appearance of having things swimming inside them, as the video shows. The Environmentally Distinct and Globally Endangered (EDGE) organization compares the look to Jabba the Hut from Star Wars!

Six to eight weeks afterwards, the tadpoles metamorphosize into miniature frogs and hop from dad's mouth. Why and how this unusual method of parental care and brooding came to be is badly understood, and the only other member of the animal kingdom that exhibits anything close is the seahorse, where the male carries the babies in a brood pouch.

The Darwin's frogs have two defense mechanisms: camouflage, wherein they look like a dead leaf, and playing dead, which you will see them do in the video above.
