Yeah he would need a new face, but his arm is mangled and he won't be able to perform surgery anymore. Best to let the part die. We have yet to see a major character (as in the permanent cast members, not multiple appearance guests stars like Denny or Meredith's Mom Ellis Grey) die on the show. I'm not a death monger, but didn't anyone find Meredith's survival after drowning and not breathing or having a heartbeat after (how long?) a little hard to swallow? Let's get a little more real! I mean hey, this show ain't like L O S T !!! :groucho:
