"The news was later confirmed by Entertainment Weekly which reported further" Bailey - who suffered a terrible season as a new woman - will be his doctor, but beyond that, the details are kept under heavy Keeping wraps.

Can I think of this and call you back tomorrow?' I called him back, and I said, 'Shonda, I just have to say it scares me.It really scares me.' He said, 'Michael, that scares me too.'
