Things I've learned from watching Greys Anatomy

The best way to survive is to have a terminal brain tumour.
If you have a minor illness and make medium-term plans you're a goner.
Data protection, hmm what do those words mean?

PS I'm on season 12 so please no spoilers

Having sex is only appropriate in an un locked on call room

Personally, I'd be very concerned about working at Seattle Grace/Grey Sloan Memorial. They have a ridiculously high mortality rate for staff there 🤔

Drs have childcare 24/7

Grey Sloan women are immune to UTIs

I think you're OK to work there as long as you never get into a moving vehicle or go near a body of a water

I’ve wasted my lockdown as haven’t watched any of this, don’t know what I’ve been doing with my time. Is it worth a watch? I’m working my way through Line of Duty as we speak.

It's addictive and very good.
Were waiting for this series of line of duty to finsuh so we can binge

In the event of a life changing accident, remember a nickname that you were called for half an hour. You may be paralysed but you will be able to trace it on a colleague's hand to be traced. V. v. handy.

You can drink tequila all night and perform open heart surgery the following morning.

Will add it to the list . I’m going to be very impatient waiting each week for the next episode of LoD (or anything). That’s just not how we watch TV any more - we binge! No patience to wait a whole week, I’ve blocked out what that used to be like.

Well despite no medical training whatsoever, I feel that I could have a good stab (excuse the pun) at most surgical procedures. I’m also now an excellent diagnostition - can’t quite rival Sean Murphy on that scale though. (Now working my way through the Good Doctor!)

Me and my best friend are both nurses (ICU and anaesthetics) and we love greys but the medical inaccuracy is hilarious

Lifts are a sexy space.

Goodness yes I diagnose before the doctors do. How hard can it be ;)

I love Greys though it’s not nearly as good now as the early ones. I always find it hilarious the kids have round the clock childcare.

Afraid you are banned from this thread. I can't cancel the suspension of disbelief

Lifts are hot.

On call rooms are hot. (I bet they are not).

Hospitals have exceptional, never crowded, 24/7 childcare on tap. Probably the only way they can keep their staff who keep sprogging thanks to all the hotness.

So hospitals don't have 24hour creches? That are actually happy to have your sc for 48 hours while you operate and shag?

And do surgeons seriously work till 3pm, get married and then operate in their wedding gowns?
My cousin is a surgeon and she had a few days off before and after the wedding like most people do.

If you're a doctor for long enough, your lips start to inflate.

Are you talking about 007? That was def in a bunch of the early episodes and mentioned again sporadically afterward.

I'm just looking at Jackson avery and don't see it.
OK but there's a definite causal link between sleeping with Richard and developing early onset dementia.

He must have dementing semen.

You don't see it?

Dear God, I can't not see it. He is bee-yeut-a-ful. He is what oncall rooms are made for.

Oh come on. Jackson Avery is very very sexy.

And I could probably do a Whipple myself. Just put them in Trendelenburg first. Or something.
