“Grey’s Anatomy” star Isaiah Washington, apparently fuming with jealousy over the cover photos and other publicity lavished upon fellow cast member Patrick “Dr. McDreamy” Dempsey, reportedly lashed out at his perfectly coiffed co-star in a recent on-set skirmish.

“What are we waiting on?” said Isaiah.
“Not me,” said Patrick. “I’m always ready.”

“That’s when Patrick told Isaiah, ‘Pick on somebody your own size.’
“Well, that did it. Isaiah became enraged and grabbed Patrick by the throat and shoved him back a few feet.
While we are thrilled for Dr. Burke that the nerve damage in his right hand appears to have healed enough to form a perfectly good choke-hold, we encourage him to seek anger management counseling before any future outbursts threaten to blacken the “pretty blue eyes” of our nation’s favorite neurosurgeon.
