While Grey's Anatomy fans are still coming to terms with the unexpected news that Brooke Smith, aka Dr. Erica Hahn, has been let go from the hit series, Patrick Dempsey appears on The Ellen DeGeneres Show  today to address the issue—and inadvertently brings a little verbal McSteamyness with him in the process. 

Pulling a note from his pocket that he says was sent to him by ABC, the actor reads aloud the network's so-called official response to the matter: " 'We've had a great time working with her and that the conclusion of her [role] has been orgasmic'—I'm sorry, I'm dyslexic—'organic ending to the storyline.' " 

Well, um, that being said, check out a clip from Smith's final Grey's episode, airing Thursday, while we...take a cold shower.
