Grey's Anatomy: Attending Sex
First, let me say if I missed anything important in the first 15 minutes of Grey's Anatomy, please someone fill me in. For instance, how did the writers' work George back into the show since he had all but left at the end of last season?
I'm at an internal medicine board review course in Denver (we have to recertify every 10 years) and Grey's came on an hour earlier than on the east coast.
On a funny - but related - side note, the course speaker today mentioned how he wished he was a resident again given how much sex Grey's residents seem to have with their attending physicians. Of course he couldn't imagine which one of his attendings he would have wanted to have sex with. Let's just say most Hollywood attendings are easier on the eyes than their real world counterparts.
We were talking about the ethics of doctors having sexual relationships with their patients. Despite what happens on Grey's, such a relationship is highly frowned upon. Even relationships between residents and attending physicians aren't usually as in the open as they are on Grey's.
Now onto last night's episode of Grey's Anatomy.
I turn the TV on and see Dr. McDreamy talking to a man whose head was "internally decapitated." Yes, that's possible and very serious as you can imagine. But there was a similar case in a woman a couple of years ago.
But I was shocked when I heard McDreamy say "Find out if he's an organ donor." While that is an unfortunate thing that doctors have to do when a patient is seriously ill, I would hope that most doctors wouldn't be so heartless as to say that where the patient could hear. Did you notice the patient started crying right after he said that? I sure did.
But since we're on the subject, are you an organ donor? If not, you should be. Organ shortages are a big problem and are a significant cause of why deathly ill people have to wait so long to get a life-saving transplant, such as a heart or kidney, if they get one at all.
Talk to your family and tell them that you want to be an organ donor. Agreeing to be an organ donor on your driver's license is a start but really doesn't mean anything unless your family knows your wishes. Your next of kin has to ultimately make that decision should something unfortunate happen to you. That decision could save a life or two.
Lastly, let me apologize for rambling a bit. My brain is a bit like mush after sitting in the course for 9 hours today. But it's been kind of fun. Good thing since I have 3 more days of fun.
