"You are not dying on me, O'Malley," Callie said as Owen shocked him.

"Again!" Meredith said as there was no change.

"Clear!" Owen said.

"No change," Mark said, looking at the monitor.

"Again!" Meredith said.

"Charge to 300," Owen said, shocking him again.

"Nothing," Mark said.

"Again!"

"Charge to 350! Clear!"

"Meredith, we're not getting anything," Derek said, starting to give up.

"NO! We are not giving up yet! We are not! Cristina didn't give up on me, and I'm not giving up on George. He's George. How can you just give up? He's done something for every one of us. It's time for us to repay the favor and save him. So shock him AGAIN!" Meredith yelled.

"Come on, Iz," Alex said, giving her CPR.

"Alex, what happened?" Cristina asked, taking over compressions.

"She was talking and just faded out."

"What happened?" the Chief asked, pulling in the crash cart.

"She just faded out," Cristina said.

"Charge to 300 and push an epi," Bailey said. "Clear!"

"No change," the Chief said.

"Charge to 350. Clear!"

"Nothing," Cristina said.

"Come on Izzie," Alex said, standing back in a corner, tears falling down his face.

"Chief, she's not coming back," Cristina said.

"Come on Iz! Come on!" Alex said, sobbing.

"Chief?" Bailey asked, looking at him.

"I don't know what else we can do," the Chief said.

"Please! You can't give up. Please!"

Cristina walked into the conference room and sat down next to Meredith. She looked at everyone in the room. Callie and Arizona were sitting at one end, Derek was sitting next to Mark on the other side of Meredith with Lexie on his other side. Owen came and sat next to her, putting a hand on her leg for comfort. Alex stood in the corner, not talking to anyone. Bailey and the Chief walked into the room and everyone became silent.

"I just wanted to get everyone in the room to say this before the rumors start. John Doe has a name. The name is George O'Malley," the chief said.

"What?!" Lexie said, looking at Mark with her eyes big.

"It looks like he's going to make it, but he's still in critical condition. We are going to keep him monitored and give him the best care possible."

"Yeah, the best care possible. Work hard to have his life and neglect all of the other patients you have. Let your other patients die," Alex said.

"Alex," Cristina said.

"Shut up, Yang. Izzie was Shepherd's patient. He was on her case before John Doe's. He was paged to her room but because it was George, he couldn't be bothered."

"We had the Chief and Bailey to help work on Izzie. There was nothing more to be done. Everything that could be done was done," Cristina said. "Derek would have been there to simply call time of death because there was nothing anyone could do. We all knew the surgery was risky when she did it. It's no one's fault Izzie died."

"Oh God," Meredith said, looking at the table. Derek grabbed her hand under the table.

"Yeah, sucks doesn't it? Izzie's dead but O'Malley's alive so it's all good, right?" Alex said.

"Karev, there was nothing I could do," Derek said.

"Yeah, whatever."

"No, there was nothing I could do. She signed a DNR. By law I couldn't do anything. What the chief and Bailey did was against the law. I can not be held responsible for her death because she wasn't supposed to be revived to begin with."

"You can say whatever you need to in order to help yourself sleep at night, but I'm not buying it," Alex said.

"He's right," the Chief said.

"We shouldn't have revived her the first time," Bailey said. "We did it for selfish reasons. We did break the law. "

"Well that's convenient for you, huh? Well that's just great. Suck it," Alex said, getting up and walking towards the door.

"Alex," Meredith said.

"No, I'm done. I can't be here with the people who let Izzie die."
