I cannot even begin to tell you how bad I wanted to see the Chief (Richard Webber) give Adele a piece of his mind. Why does he just take it from her all the time. Chief's neice who has been like a daughter to them comes into the hospital for cancer testing. She has evidently been sick her whole life, been through chemo before and really struggled through a lot. Adele and her sister are really pushing hard for chemotherapy and another long process of getting well again. The teenage neice says she's just tired of fighting it. She wants to enjoy her life, not be sick for the rest of her life. Richard is caught inbetween. He wants to respect his neice's wishes as a doctor, but as a caring Uncle he doesn't want to let go. He kind of stands up to her in the end when he honors his niece's wishes, but Adele holds it against him. I just could not believe that she would be so harsh and blame him for his niece's decision. What a horrible spot he was put in in this episode. I would have had a really hard time dealing with the issue of saving someone I loved or respecting their choice to die. Tough times on Grey's Anatomy this week!
