About This Quote

Her heart kicked hard against her ribs, seized by a terrible fear that refused to let go no matter how hard she pushed. Every time Meredith was in the emergency room she had an overwhelming urge to push harder on her chest, trying to get it to let go of the horrible pain. Even though she was in so much pain, every time she felt the pain get worse she pushed harder, trying to get it to let go even if it meant damaging her body even further. She knew that if she didn't get the pain out of her chest, there was a chance it would kill her or at least make her very sick.
