Relationships in medical dramas and their effects on patients

Relationships in medical dramas

I feel bad for patients on medical dramas like Grey’s Anatomy. Not only do the patients have serious medical illnesses; but the doctors in the show, who the patients are relying on for help, have relationship issues with each other in about every other episode.

If I was a patient on the show and Dr. Meredith Grey told me that I had a 50/50 chance of living. I would ask her, “was that a 50/50 chance before or after Dr. McDreamy and you got into a huge fight and you became an emotional train wreck.”
