Grey's Anatomy 5x13 - "Beat Your Heart Out"Dixon: Cows are squeezed tightly in the chute before they're slaughtered. The chute applies intense pressure, resulting in decreased pulse rate, metabolic rate, and muscle tone.
Bailey: It calms them down.
Dixon: It calms them down. The same principles apply to people like me. A hugging machine is used to relax the sympathetic nervous system. Slows the heart. This is good, it's working.
Yang: Oh, so we can stop now?
Dixon: No.
Thank You, God, for the hug machines in my life! Echoes of Your everlasting arms that always catch me between my breaking.
