Amanda was saved by a John Doe from a bus. When admitted to hospital, she held his hand as much as she could.
History
Bus Accident
Amanda was admitted to Seattle Grace Hospital after a man pushed her out of the way from a bus. The man was dragged by the bus and by the time the bus driver had stopped, their face was unrecognisable. Paramedics brought the John Doe and Amanda to the hospital.
Although she had ignored him at the bus stop because she was looking for hot men, as he began to crash and the doctors attempted to save him, she refused to leave him alone but did after she vomited. Later her arm was stitched up by Lexie and then Mark and she gave Mark tips on how to be the woman in a relationship.
For the rest of the day she stayed as close to the John Doe as possible and up until just before his surgery, she held his hand. When Meredith told her she had to leave because they were taking him to surgery, she cried and walked away to the waiting room. Meredith noted that he "...made a good friend there. Guess that's what happens when you take a bus for someone".
After everyone discovered it was George she continued to wait by his bedside and apologise. She attended his funeral and cried harder than his mother. After the funeral she was presented with insomnia, she saw George at night and at bus stops. Everyday she went to Seattle Grace and sat at the benches outside.
Relationships
Romantic
