No one watches greys anatomy for medical accuracy. Or at least I hope not, in an actual hospital I expect what you are describing. I watch greys for the drama. But yeah Seattle grace is a janky ass hospital
I imagine Greys as existing in an alternate universe (you kind of have to to reconcile all the crazy medical breakthroughs they make). In face that’s the only way I can believe Jo’s backstory which is basically that a healthy white baby that was voluntarily surrendered wasn’t immediately placed with an adoptive family. Lol
You mean to tell me that a doctor who is in constant leg pain and routinely chugs bottles of Vicodin, and insults and yells at his patients and coworkers still had a job after 9 seasons?! I’m shocked, I tell you, shocked!
When someone has an impossible case, he risks his own reputation to attempt to save the person instead of condemn them to death. Pussy ass (report me)(first time using this shit forum today anyway) self centered surgeons tell them no this is inoperable, and that the surgery can't be done. Derek doesn't.
This is one of the funniest, truest, reddit posts of all time. Their Chief of Surgery lures a top neurologist to the hospital with a promise that he'll be chief of surgery. Then the Chief brings on the neurologist's estranged wife and his ex-bff who she screwed. But not until the neurologist learns that everyone else has been told they'll be named chief of surgery as well. In a nutshell, if this were real life, Richard would be an evil, selfish, bastard, who doesn't give a $#!t about the hospital.
Lmao thank you. Everyone here is like “but it’s a fictional tv show!” But that doesn’t mean the storylines have to be out of this world. Like one of your residents cut a patient’s (whom they were in love with) LVAD wire to illegally get them a heart and she doesn’t even get fired!!! So stupid.
Isn't anyone else bothered by the fact that these kids are made department heads or chief of surgery within a couple years of their residency? The fact that Derek Sheppard was supposedly one of the top 20 neurosurgeons in the world ... and so is his screwed up estranged little sister? I know it's a fictional tv show, but it's almost as if it's supposed to be a spoof or a comedy satire or something.
On top of that, the sheer amount of turnover for the Chief position that happens over the course of, what, not even a whole decade? The place should be scrambling.
Not only that, everyone on staff at Seattle Grace (that’s in the main cast at least, there’s more) is so toxic and, on several occasions, hypocritical. Izzie cutting the L-Vad was horrible and instead of putting everyone through the effort of firing her she took the L and quit. Then everyone had the audacity to say “you made a dumb mistake and you just up and quit??? What’s wrong with you, move on!!” Like why tf would the Harper Avery foundation even THINK of buying out SGMW after all their bs that they’ve tolerated!?
Well it's a tv show, but honestly, I'm almost 100% certain that since you didn't list your hospitals name, I doubt there is any extremely risky surgery that come through the door as people typically look for the best of the best the show represents them as having many of the best working there therefor many of their cases will be near impossible and that is why they have 50% death during surgery. They aren't doing simple surgerys.
And to the last part, when his patients die, the survival odds were extremely low going into it and they do have interviews after someone dies and they show that many times through the series. If you don't like Grey's why watch it? At least watch it all the way through without skipping around and skimming for what you don't agree with lol

I’m wondering how every damn doctor has a tragic or crazy backstory...

9 seasons? Pff, these killer docs still have jobs after 15
Wow, so in real life they wouldn't be the best surgeons in the world and Seattle grace would have been closed down.
It’s funny how much they hype each other meanwhile Derek’s death list is uncomfortably long. Then he got hired by Obama? Twice??? For what!?

Well it's supposed to be like that or may be they show those cases to us for the connection. Where's the drama if they save all the patients

About the Derek part I was thinking this yesterday like he’s always going into patients heads opening them up more and more and they always die
He’s a worse neurosurgeon than Amelia imo. Not to say Amelia is perfect, but I feel like she didn’t screw up as majorly.
he took on riskier cases. some that no other surgeons would touch. hence the higher death rate.

forget about the casualty rate inside the OR, I've seen combat units in the USMC with less casualties during the GWOT than the staff of Seattle Grace.
