And as is distinctive of theGrey’suniverse , even the salutary of workforce have some glare flawsthat make them more realistic .
George was thus capricious , malleable , and a awful decision - manufacturing business . His lack of assurance sometimes made him a express mirth stock among the other operative houseman who were out for parentage . But for all the problems with his personality , George was loved by one and all .

Frommarrying Callie in record clock time to chouse on her with Izzie , and leaving Olivia even though she truly adore him , George was usher to make a mess whenever it came to big conclusion . His decisiveness to become an United States Army sawbones also seemed sudden , although it did rise his inclination to help others . And of course , throw off himself in front of a moving bus to write a stranger who had n’t even act well with him might have been the ultimate act of decency but it was also passing impulsive , finally costing him his life in the most tragic personal manner .

His gesture did n’t go unappreciated as she named her son after her favorite medical intern . He also moved heaven and earth to get Jo the bartender a treatment that he could n’t afford . Finally , George ’s politesse push him to sacrifice his life for a random alien on the street .
Worst: Getting On The High Horse
George did have a tendency ofgetting on the high gymnastic horse and refusing to come off it . He made up his mind easy about people , for representative , those he detest , like Derek and Alex .
He was n’t necessarily the epitome of morality given how he had cheat on his wife . But he did n’t pother from judge others without know the whole story and pout a circle when he thought he was being victimized .
Best: Stood Up To Arrogance
George was call names such as Bambi for his malleability . However , in time , he perish on to grow a shade as a theatrical role - although perhaps not as much as fans would have like - and bulge standing up to injustice , and lordliness .
George was entitled to be angry with Cristina for hiding the truth about Burke ’s hand and in effect potentially jeopardizing his father ’s surgery . He also stand up up against Alex who inform him that Callie had slept with Mark Sloan . Alex happened to be right on this occasion , but at least George was standing up to him in his own way . He also stood up to his own crony who would mock him unrelentingly . And who can forgetGeorge O’Malley giving Alex Karev a much - deserved pummellingfor indirectly transfer syphilis to him , as well as for his overall insolence !
Worst: Lacked Confidence
One of George ’s worst traits was that he miss severely in trust , at least at the get-go . His want of confidence made him easy target in the extremely competitive ambience of the surgical program .
He was never taken very gravely by his Colorado - interns and probably one of the reasons he was noticed by Preston Burke on the first day itself was the fact that he seemed so uncertain of everything . Burke knew that he could well terrorize this already nervous interne , leave the others to fall in line of products . Although graduallyBurke saw George ’s potential and was even quick to mentor him , the latter continued to be supremely incognizant of what he was able of or that he deserved better than he got .

Of course , there was no such matter as that , yet it proved that George ’s sense of responsibility had already been find by those gamey up . He also made certain that his dad get a cardiothoracic surgeonwhom he could trust when he realized that something was off about Burke . This showed that he genuinely cared for his family and made responsible conclusion when it come to their well - being .
Worst: Too Malleable
George was way too ductile as a somebody , yet another unsound trait that incur him into difficulty more than once . He allowed people to sandbag him , and could n’t always evidence them what was on his judgement .
George ’s Las Vegas wedding to Callie was proof of his malleability . Moreover , he was influenced by Izzie Stevens who nagged himinto conceive that Callie was unhygienic in her habits , that she had n’t wash out her hands after using the public toilet . He even spoke to Callie about the same , which , understandably infuriated her .
Best: Great With Kids
George was swell with children , and buff would have loved to see him have a full kin , arrant with a love wife and kids . George was shown take attention of Bailey ’s Logos and his connectedness with him was instantaneous .
He seemed to recognise what he was doing and would have , in clip , made a majuscule dada . At the very least , he would have been a wonderful uncle George to Meredith ’s kids .
Worst: Whined A Fair Amount
alas , George complain a bonnie bit about how unmanageable life was for him . Of course , he was n’t the only one whining , as all around him , everyone from Meredith to Izzie , and Callie whined and complained endlessly .
In fact , George was told off by another gentle fan - favorite , Lexie Grey , who reminded him of her own difficulties , which include her mom ’s tragical demise and her daddy becoming an lush , telling him that he needed to take and move on rather than wallow in ego - ruth .
Best: Was Able To Step Up When Needed
Finally , George was able-bodied to step up whenever and wherever it rightfully count . Fans will remember him hold kick andperforming the miracle open - middle surgery while stick inside an elevatorwith Alex who had frozen in his shoes .
As Alex himself was forced to confess in time , George might very well have give way on to be Chief Resident in their batch , had he not died so shockingly . He also stepped up after he go bad the exam that would make him a resident ; he take on the test a second time and became a resident on his way to large things . His power to call back on his foundation was noticed by ex-wife - army operating surgeon Owen Hunt who told him that he had the makings of a harm surgeon , something one would n’t typically associate with the soft O’Malley .
