Bailey enters and walks over to Logan's bedside.
BAILEY
Hello Dr. Shephard.
Dr. Bailey turns to Meg.
BAILEY
Hello, I'm Miranda Bailey. I've been taking care of Logan.
Meg and Bailey shake hands.
MEG
Megan Matthias. Logan's mother.
BAILEY
Mrs. Matthias, we ran some tests on your son and I'd like to discuss the results with you. Would you like to come someplace more comfortable with me?
MEG
No. Here is fine.
BAILEY
When we have patients with drug use we check the function of their major organs.
We cut to a close up of Meg's hand grabbing Addie's.
BAILEY
Now, usually it's the liver that is damaged with Logan's type of substance abuse and organ donation is necessary as soon as possible. But in you son's case, it was his kidneys that were damaged.
MEG
So he doesn't need a transplant?
BAILEY
Not right away. You see, Logan's left kidney suffered much less damage than the right. If Logan stops huffing now, we have every reason to believe that he can survive up to five years on that kidney alone.
MEG
Wait, people survive full lives with just one kidney.
BAILEY
Yes, but Logan's has already been damaged. Mrs. Matthias, no matter what, your son will eventually need a kidney transplant.
MEG
Oh my god.
Meg sinks down into a chair next to Logan's bed. Addison remains strong.
BAILEY
I'm very sorry, Mrs. Matthias.
MEG
What are the odds of Logan getting a kidney?
BAILEY
Well for an anonymous donor it's hard to say. Logan has o-negative blood which, unfortunately, brings his odds down slightly.
ADDISON
Plus the damage was self-inflicted, which doesn't help either.
MEG
So what do we do? Wait for someone to die?
BAILEY
Nobody needs to die. Logan only needs one kidney. So a donor could donate one of his or hers to Logan and still lead a perfectly normal life.
MEG
So, if we matched bloodtypes, one of us could donate a kidney to him?
ADDISON
Meg, were both A negatives. Neither of us can do it.
BAILEY
What about Logan's father or siblings?
ADDISON
Josh is B positive. So their dad has to be B too.
BAILEY
Well for now, we'll put Logan's name on the UNOS list. If there are any other relatives in town have them come in and we'll get them tested.
ADDISON
Thank you, Miranda.
BAILEY
You're welcome.
Bailey exits.
MEG
This is unbelievable. This is un-fucking-believable! I fed him, I clothed him, I taught him right verse wrong, I took care of him! I gave him everything. And then, just like that, he screws everything up.
ADDISON
Calm down, Meg. That's not helping.
MEG
What about Mom or Dad? They could match.
ADDISON
They're both in their eighties. No surgeon would allow a donation from them.
MEG
There's got to be someone.
ADDISON
What about a cousin?
MEG
Frank's an only child. You know that.
ADDISON
No, I mean on our side. What if Derek and I had a baby?
MEG
That's ridiculous. You two are barely even married.
ADDISON
I'm pretty sure Derek is O-positive. If I'm dominant recessive there's a 50 chance the baby would match.
MEG
Are you sure?
ADDISON
It's a simple punnett square.
MEG
Addison, that's crazy.
ADDISON
No, it's easy. You put two O's on top and an A O on the...
MEG
That's not what I meant. I can't ask you to do that.
ADDISON
You didn't.
MEG
Then I can't allow that. It's wrong.
ADDISON
So is not doing anything to help Logan.
Addison's pager goes off.
ADDISON
Crap. What do they want now?
Addison turns off her pager.
ADDISON
It's Karev, my intern.
MEG
You should go.
ADDISON
Will you be okay for a few minutes?
MEG
I'll be fine. Go.
ADDISON
Okay.
Addison and Meg hug.
ADDISON
I'll be back soon.
Addison exits.
So what do you think? Please review!
