Excellent post, Leanna!

She has all the leadership skills required for being CR, in my opinion.

I wouldn't have thanked him either. The Chief basically did what he did with Derek, and with Meredith as well --- he really didn't give Bailey the CR position because he wanted her to still have a "family to go home to" at the end of the day. Like Shonda says in the podcast, he basically wanted to prevent her from making the same mistakes as him. But in my opinion, I find that out of line. Richard should at least give these people the option to make their own mistakes. And who knows? Maybe Bailey would have been able to juggle her CR duties with her home life. IMO, I think sometimes the Chief doesn't realize that everyone is not like him and will not make the same errors.
My thoughts, exactly. I think Miranda can do it all. She knows everything and she can do everything. Heck, she's been doing it for years. Didn't Burke and the Chief go to her when there's something going on about the hospital that they needed to know? I don't see why the Chief felt he needed to protect her. I think it was presumptuous of him to believe he knows what's good for Bailey. Like I said, they was he did it was very condescending. Only Bailey knows what's good for Bailey. The Chief should have made her make her own decisions.

I'm inclined to say that Bailey acted as most people would ... she's only human. Even though I do like Callie ... I still believe that Bailey was made to be CR and I also felt a tiny bit of joy in seeing Callie doing poorly at it and needing Bailey's advice twice throughout the episode.
Exactly! People seem to think Bailey is this superwoman Nazi person but she's only human. She was hurt by everything that's happened. I think she knew it wasn't really Callie's fault but she probably couldn't get over the fact that Callie was chosen over her knowing full well that she's the best one for the job. I actually admire her for even reaching out to Callie in that scene outside the hospital. It showed us what a great woman she really is. If I was in her shoes, I'd probably bear a grudge for at least a week.

Quote:
Although, I guess I do see The Chief's point about being in the OR. I guess I'm a little confused about it though: does being CR mean no OR time? Because I seem to remember Richard doing his own surgeries still, and he's the ultimate Chief.
I don't get it either. If being CR takes you away from the OR, why did Callie or Bailey apply for it in the first place? They're both completely driven, 4th year surgical residents, who are going into their fellowships. I seriously doubt that any of them would apply for it if it means less OR time.

Oh, and by the way, let's not mention any other threads in the discussions as it may sometimes be mistaken for bashing.

I couldn't have said it any better either, guys...*shakes head* And somehow, I can't help thinking this sort of behaviour is pretty much one of the Chief's most fatal flaws, as everyone deserves the right to make their own mistakes or earn their own successes, but rather than allowing them to do that, he's too caught up in trying to 'protect' them all the time. Personally, I can only see that sort of reaction blowing up in his face eventually to be quite honest...

Grey's Anatomy's Chandra Wilson helping families in Los Angeles

I recently worked at the Habitat for Humanity site in Los Angeles with Chandra Wilson, aka Dr. Miranda Bailey, and I was so excited to be working with her for a great cause. Foglers and Habitat for Humanity have teamed up to raise money for families in need of homes. Go to: YouTube - CHANDRA WILSON TEAMS UP WITH FOLGERS & HABITAT FOR HUMANITY to see Chandra at work and find out how she's helping for this important cause. Also, check out wakeupspecial.com to help Habitat for Humanity help more families by creating your own commercial. The more people that get involved the better! For every vote that each commercial gets, Folgers Gourmet Selections is going to donate $1 to the Habitat for Humanity. You can check out Chandra's commercial on wakeupspecial.com too!

Oh, yeah. I'm so happy. I miss my Bailey and I'm so glad she's going back to doing what she does best, being the boss.
