The On-Call Room: A Grey's Anatomy PodcastS4 E7: Dimmed Lights and Baggy T-shirtsThis week Abbey shares her experience with travelling to Honduras.

He provides some insight into his feelings of Grey's anatomy. Spoiler Alert: he thinks Callie is very beautiful and claims M.A.S.H as his favorite hospital drama show....pretty rude seeing as he was on a Grey's Anatomy podcast.
