Grey’s Anatomy
Have you ever thought about how many people watch television every day? “Close to 20 million people tune in every week to the show Grey’s Anatomy” (askville.amazon.com). Some of the viewers watch the show every week and are dedicated fans. Others just watch when they can catch it, but even when they don’t watch it every time, it still has an effect. Viewers who are not regular watchers tend to look at more of the medical information. They stop on the channel because they like medical shows or something catches their eye. If that many people watch Grey’s Anatomy alone you could just imagine how many watch television all together. Most television shows are just for the viewer’s entertainment, but Grey’s Anatomy is for more than

The interns have to deal with surgeons above them telling them what to do and teaching them how to become better surgeons. They learn the right and wrong way to do medical procedures while dealing with no sleep and other interns stealing surgeries from them. They have some challenges while going through internship. They begin to fall in love with the wrong people. Which leads to interns cutting Lvad wires so there boyfriend can get a heart transplant and interns having sex with someone that turns out to be their boss. Then they make their way up the chain of command and become junior resident. The first process of wading out the ones who can’t handle surgery is the intern test. Once they become residence they have their own set of interns to teach while dealing with the residence above them also known as attending. In this stage they become more involved with being on their own. They begin assisting with procedures, and doing them with supervision. This is when all of the real problems begin. They are put in life of death situations where they have to preform surgeries in the highest tensed atmosphere. They have car accidents, bombs in body cavities, and most hectic a hospital shooting. This is where they …show more content…
It varies from heart transplants to skin biopsy. This show gives a variety of procedures that people would never know about if they wouldn’t have watched the show. For example, there is a genetic condition that makes someone not feel pain called congenital insensitivity to pain. It is very rare but it can happen. They also show the patient getting the procedure done. They show operations from the time they say tin blade to when they ask for sutures. They show the organs in the body and where they are. They show if someone has to cut vertical or horizontal. This is a good way to show what surgery looks like without things being real. Everything in the show looks real and they use real terminology but it is a fake and set up. The way that the show is set up it would show someone who didn’t know anything about the body exactly were the heart is and how far you have to cut to get
Presently, my extracurricular and academic interests are combined in my two year Health Science class. The class provides real-life medical situations that I may come in contact with in the future. Like any health science class, we study the body, in both its’ functional and dysfunctional state. This survey class also includes an introduction to equipment, medical protocol, and ethical issues. A sense of teamwork guides our procedures. Next semester, I will study at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Ramstein High School’s Career Practicum program. After initial on-the-job application of classroom learning, we will work with patients, supervised by the hospital staff. Living so close to a hospital that services thousands of seriously injured patients every year provides opportunities that other students lack, even in their college programs.
In the article, Gawande shares a story from when he worked in a hospital as a resident. His first real procedure, placing a central line through a stout man’s heart to receive nutrition, would result in few problems if it were performed by experienced hands. However, knowing this is his first operation to be done alone, Gawande’s nervousness grew with every thought of what could go dramatically wrong. Before beginning, the author recollects studying all of the precise moves and cuts his superior named S. carried out on the same type of procedure on a person beforehand. After feeling informed and confident, Gawande begins by gathering all the necessary tools needed for the job. But as he thought he finished, S. chimes in reminding him of the multiple things he failed to remember to grab or setup. He uneasily shook off the mistakes, and began by locating the point on the man’...
Critical thinking is the ability to evaluate and produce open-minded reasoning, and is very important for daily life. A critical thinking failure is the inability to have fair reasoning, therefore a person would be biased and skeptical. Alex Karev, in the hit ABC show Grey’s Anatomy, displays a critical thinking failure because of how close-minded he may be in certain situations. In comparison with Meredith Grey, Karev was neglected as a child and brought up with violence. This played a significant role in his cognitive development, which impacted his critical thinking skills and lead to poor reasoning.
Grey’s Anatomy is a medical drama that encompasses the professional and personal lives of interns and residents as they strive to become surgeons. The beginning of the series focuses on one intern, Meredith Grey, who is taking part in the residency program at Seattle Grace Hospital. Throughout the seasons the backgrounds, and aspirations of the characters are explored, while following their present day lives. The series is based off of the doctors everyday lives, but concerns itself mostly with their personal lives, using their professional lives as a backdrop to character development. The medical cases aid the plot of the series most often by the patients saying things that relate back to the dilemmas the characters are going through. This along with the relationships between colleagues connects work to personal life, often mixing professional and private relationships into one.
Benni’s project was about how Uber is better than the traditional taxi. Benni had a slide that explained the history of and background of the company Uber. This is effective as it gives the audience an idea of Uber’s origins as a company, thus furthering their understanding of his main argument.
But watching “Grey’s Anatomy” makes it easier to see myself actually doing it. “Grey’s Anatomy” creates the feeling of being in a situation in which many people may not react well to, it is showing me the hardships of being a doctor. This drama series provides real life language that doctors actually use, they use many medical terms associated with surgery. The show is not very graphic with the details of the surgeries but it has all of the medical tools and equipment. Though “Grey’s Anatomy” is not completely realistic it creates a sense that surgery and working in a hospital is easier that what it really is ,but it gives me some type of sense of what a hospital could be without actually stepping foot in a
This was a great experience for me in my junior year. I had never been in an OR setting, nor did I have any knowledge of how the collaborative team worked together. I also didn’t know the role of an OR nurse, which was a great addition to my education of nursing student. Being able to observe this task, I can now say that I have watched two surgical procedures being done, which is very critical in my career path as a nurse. Now that I have had the chance to watch these procedures, an OR nurse is a position that I may consider my future, as a nurse.
Oddly enough, I liked giving obese, old patients bed baths, helping them to the bathroom, and cleaning their bed pans. But, don’t get me wrong. It wasn’t exactly what I loved doing, but I knew it was part of the job, and I willingly did the dirty work. By the end of my junior year, I knew I loved the hospital environment and wanted to eventually work there; however, I just didn’t know in what capacity. Fortunately, during a slow day in my last semester of shadowing, a nurse asked me if I would like to see a surgery being performed. I quickly accepted the offer, and I got to watch a surgeon perform an eye lift procedure. This experience, one of the most interesting I had ever witnessed, made me realize the area of the hospital that interested me most, the operating room. More specifically, I wanted to be an orthopedic surgeon. The path to become an orthopedic surgeon is not a quick nor easy one. To become an orthopedic surgeon, one must first be accepted into medical school, graduate medical school, and then complete post medical school requirements such as residency and
Since Grey’s Anatomy is a very real life universe, it was hard to try making up a “fictional syllabus”, so instead I made my syllabus as real as it could be. This syllabus will be distributed from the doctor to the interns on a typed out piece of paper, just like we would receive it from a teacher. Using a computer to type out the syllabus makes it very easy to read and follow for the interns, and easy to assess by Doctor Webber. Printing the syllabus allows the interns to be able to keep and follow these guidelines throughout their whole internship. Through my research, I found out everything that I needed to include in my syllabus and how to produce it. I used the source, Center for Research on Learning and Training, as an extra guideline
Medical interns are surgical residents working to become doctors, so their jobs are very complicated and specific, which may have conflicts along the way such as competition between workers and an overloaded schedule. When Meredith finally gets to the hospital, she walks in while the chief of surgery is giving a very extensive speech that includes the words, “The seven years you spend here as a surgical resident will be the best and worst years of your life. You will be pushed to your breaking point. Look around you, say hello to your competition.” He then also mentions to them about the stress, the long hours, the pressure, and the deaths they will be experiencing throughout the years. He ends the speech saying how
While interning at Providence Canby Immediate Care, I learned about the broad range of tasks that medical assistants and nurses performed to treat patients at an immediate care center. I got to observe procedures as well as participate in hands-on learning and apply the knowledge I’ve learned in class the past two years. However, I was also able to obtain new knowledge. For example, learning how to conduct urine and blood tests was a fairly new experience that I’ve never been introduced to before. Overall, I was able to gain new knowledge on how patients are treated at an immediate care facility.
At Pritzker, I learned about how medical students are trained to interact in clinical settings from their first

I went to the operating room on March 23, 2016 for the Wilkes Community College Nursing Class of 2017 for observation. Another student and I were assigned to this unit from 7:30am-2:00pm. When we got their we changed into the operating room scrubs, placed a bonnet on our heads and placed booties over our shoes. I got to observe three different surgeries, two laparoscopic shoulder surgeries and one ankle surgery. While cleaning the surgical room for the next surgery, I got to communicate with the nurses and surgical team they explained the flow and equipment that was used in the operating room.
