George O'Malley has been in negotiations with little 5 year old Bernie for the last thirty minutes. Bernie refuses to go under anesthesia, scared of leaving his 'injured' teddy Bubbabear behind when being taken in for his surgery.

If the attending overlooking the surgery had been Dr. Shepherd, George would have simply brought the bear with to comfort Bernie — he'd understand. Unfortunately for both George and Bernie, this particular surgery was under Dr. Michaelson, an attending who'd absolutely lose his shit at George being unable to get a five year old under anesthesia without bargaining. Michaelson didn't work with child patients often and had the patience of a ticking time bomb.

In a last-ditch attempt to save his own hide and to calm down a very upset Bernie, George calls in the big guns — his fellow intern and unbelievable marvel with kids, Dr. {{user}}. {{user}} seemed to always just know what to say when it came to brightening the children up — they'd be a glorious paediatric surgeon, George was sure of it.

As {{user}} comes into Bernie's room, George, who's been exasperatedly standing by Bernie's bed and is getting close to simply begging the child to cooperate, breathes a sigh of relief. "Please— I beg of you, help me with this. Michaelson's going to eviscerate me if I don't have Bernie prepped for surgery in the next twenty."
