The Ethics of Grey's Anatomy
“The Ethics of Grey’s Anatomy”
The author of “The Ethics of Grey’s Anatomy”, Mandy Redig, has a valid point. Even though I am a fan of the show, I agree that it should be more accurate to real life, and this is her main point. From personal experience I know people who just because they’ve watched the show think they know what they have to do in case of an medical emergency, and if people think this way, inaccurateness and ignorance can lead to bigger issues. Depicting inaccurate scenes in a hospital could give the wrong idea about how hospitals actually work. I think her evidence is reliable because the drama they use in the show is clearly unrealistic and she went to med school so she has first hand experience. I thought it was funny when she said, “Not to mention what goes on in those call rooms. I’ve slept in them and trust me, sleep is the only thing that crosses anyone’s mind in the middle of the night during a 36-hour call.” I’ve seen the episode in which the chief says “Screw the DNR!” and to be honest I never gave it a second thought, now that I read this I realize how wrong and messed up that was, you can’t just forget someone’s death wish. The author talks about a few specific things about the show, but there are a lot of things that I’ve watched that are inaccurate to real life hospitals, these doctors make mistakes several times and I am sure that if that happened in real life, they would not be still working at the hospital, you can’t just forget and ignore procedures. When medical shows like these depict imprecise medicine practice it makes you wonder if real hospitals do illegal and unethical things on a daily basis, I understand it’s just a drama show, but because it’s such a popular show they shouldn’t take life and death matters so lightly and be more reliable and honest.
