The Greys Anatomy episode where a lady needs surgery but her father wouldn’t allow it. He was going to take his daughter home and if he did she could be paralyzed over the next couple of days. Derek and Meredith do not agree, and want to call child services. Meredith talks to the daughter about why she is not allowed to have the surgery. She explained that in her religion there are a lot of rules and she obeys them. Her father believes that she is missing one of her souls, if her soul is not found before she has surgery that she would die. Derek and Meredith understood and respected their religion. Derek used the hospitals helicopter to fly the shaman into the hospital. The daughter had her healing ceremony before the surgery. She got her surgery in time before she became paralyzed and her religion was respected. Her parents were very pleased that their daughter would be fine and their religion was respected.
