Cristina Yang is one of the fan’s favourite characters in
Grey’s Anatomy. Sandra Oh’s on-screen chemistry with Ellen Pompeo is there for
all to see. If you think of characters who have impacted the show the most then
Yang certainly comes to mind. She was Meredith’s person and their friendship
certainly gave the fans some goals.

Unfortunately, losing characters is a common theme on the
medical drama but Yang’s persona is sourly missed even today. Her sarcasm wit,
sass and brutal honesty can not be found in one-package.

Here are some of her best moments on the show –

Being there for Izzie when she was diagnosed with cancer

Yang was always on the front foot when Izzie needed any sort
of help. Although, the two characters were not the closest when Stevens was diagnosed,
it did not stop Cristina from being an amazing friend.

The god-gifted surgeon researched heavily, booked Izzie
appointments with the best doctors and accompanied her on every consultation.

While she never really expressed her emotions verbally, she
did everything she could to be there for Izzie.

Not losing her cool and understanding Teddy

Cristina had performed the surgery on Teddy’s husband Henry
when he could not survive. After the terrible loss, it was difficult for Teddy
to cope with her feelings.

She often made Yang repeat the surgical procedure step by
step to try and understand what went wrong. This went on for several weeks and
any other person would have been annoyed when asked to repeat the same thing
over and over again but Cristina never complained.

Cristina’s attempt at bartending

While this is certainly not one of Yang’s best moments it is
definitely a memorable one.

She was a terrible bartender and essentially dropped
everything she held in her hands but the hilarious attempt was tremendously
enjoyed by the fans.

Thankfully, she went back to the hospital to do what she
does best.

Her marriage with Owen

After being left at the altar by Preston Burke, Cristina
realised her worth and developed a lot as a character. She left the heartbreak
behind and finally got married to Owen. While the marriage didn’t last, it was good
to see Cristina so happy.
