Miranda Bailey is the glue that keeps all of the characters together on Grey’s Anatomy.
During Grey’s Anatomy Season 14 Episode 11, the character found herself at death’s door multiple times.
When the episode got underway, all was right in the world of Miranda. She was dropping her kid off at school, driving to work with Ben, and she was still very much against Ben’s new job.
ICYMI: Ben is heading to the new Grey’s Anatomy spinoff, Station 19. Thus, he will be a firefighter in the original series.
Miranda has struggled with this because she is worried that he goes to work and does not come home. It makes sense, right?
Just when Ben started talking about his day, Miranda checked out and ordered Ben to let her out of the vehicle.
It was bizarre, but we quickly found out the exact reason for her behavior. She made her way to another hospital with symptoms of a heart attack.
If you watch Grey’s Anatomy online, you will already know that Bailey is one of the best in her field, so she knew what she was was right.
Nobody seemed to want to agree that she was taking a heart attack and kept ushering her out of the way.
Then, Dr. Maxwell appeared and wanted to rule it as a mental issue as opposed to a physical issue and ordered a psychiatrist.
Bailey then decided enough was enough and told Maggie to visit her because she needed help.
Maggie arrived, along with Richard who knew there was something wrong because Bailey had never taken a day off.
Fresh off saving the life of the patient next to her, Bailey collapsed. This was confirmation enough for Dr. Maxwell.
After the blockage in her artery was dealt with, Bailey’s pressure started dropping, and it emerged that the deluded Dr. Maxwell had failed to order some follow-up treatment.
Maggie had had enough and demanded to be allowed to perform the surgery. Maxwell agreed because what else could he do?
Bailey realized it was time to let Ben in and she got Maggie to call him. Ben made a run straight to the hospital.
Bailey survived her ordeal, and in the aftermath, Ben said he had quit his new job. Bailey admitted that her stance had changed on it.
Life is too precious to waste doing anything less than what makes us happy,” she said to her lover.
Peppered throughout the hour were flashbacks of Bailey growing up and the struggle she faced moving out of her home.
Her mother was always worried about Bailey getting in trouble, and that was because her sister died at just two months old.
It was a poignant episode that was great at educating the audience about heart attacks.
