Grey's Anatomy Observation

For a child, this usually means their family, school, daycare, and neighborhood. Meredith Grey's microsystem remains virtually the same from childhood to adulthood. During her childhood, Meredith spent as much time at her mother's place of work, Seattle Grace Hospital, as she did with her parents. As an adult, Meredith works in the same hospital and spends just as much time there, if not more, as she does at home. On a day-to-day basis, Meredith interacts with many of the same people she interacted with daily as a child. These people include her mother, Richard Webber, Meredith's current Chief of Surgery who was her mother's friend, and even nurses, doctors, and other staff members who worked directly alongside her

The nurse in Grey’s Anatomy is never treated with any respect from the doctors and surgeons. Throughout the clips she is never doing her actual job as a nurse and only relaying messages to the doctors that are seemingly unimportant in a hospital setting. This portrays the nurse as being insignificant in the

Grey’s Anatomy appeared on ABC in March 2005. Five surgical interns, Meredith Grey, Cristina Yang, Isobel Stevens, Alex Karev and George O’Malley, competing and negotiating their work and relationships with each other and their three supervisors, Derek Shepherd “McDreamy,” Preston Burke, and Miranda Bailey. Rhimes described her hit show on the Tavis Smiley Show saying, “Grey’s Anatomy is more than just a medical drama. It is about people who are starting a job, and on a bad day you kill somebody...and on a good day, you save a life” (Rhimes 2005). Grey’s Anatomy is a large ensemble drama with a very diverse cast where race is solely limited to the colors of the character’s body.

There is always new life lesions integrated into each storyline. There is also a perspective of life and personality placed with each character. Behind each and every scene there is a greater purpose that the producer embedded into it. This subconsciously has the watcher learn a lesson while watching the series and having them more attached to the show. This is all within the production Grey’s Anatomy. Incorporating that there is a way for one to be successful in whatever they dream whether they are male or female, young or old, rich or poor. The message that any person no matter who they are can do what they put their mind too even if it is a high status career. Explaining the work that it takes to get there and obstacles they will have to overcome. With this accomplishment of a great career due to their hard work it is also possible for them to have great relationships and family life outside of work. Grey’s just as any other well created series can help sculpt the minds of this generation. Television is an adequate way enforce much needed societal messages to the population, trying to help change the wrong doings present in this

Initial Responses to the incident I was surprised that there was no record of the incident and that event had not been handed over to the multidisciplinary team members who had come on shift. I thought that the nurse had not considered the incident to be a serious incident. Furthermore sexual activity, including sexual assault and harassment, does occur in psychiatric facilities and is an issue of concern (Videbeck, 2008). In this situation I felt uncomfortable when I heard the allegations however my thoughts were that it is an important issue which should not be ignored.

The show focuses mostly around the main character, Meredith Grey, who is at first is a surgical resident and soon becomes a general surgeon, her background story, relationships with others, and her life as a surgeon. The storyline, big-time surgeries/medical cases, intense scenes, and romantic chemistry between the characters make “Grey’s Anatomy” a successful medical show.

Another example of the authorities abusing their power is when Mr Neal abuses the girls who work in the hospital for his own pleasure. The custom, of white men raping Aboriginal women, although not technically allowed, it is accepted in both the Aboriginal community and the white Australian community. When one of the main characters, Mary, is asked to work in the hospital she is convinced Mr Neal has asked her to do so, so he can rape her.

I read the article “Code Blue”, “Code Black”: What Does ‘Code’ Mean? which was about the different codes in a hospital and what kind of **predicaments** they can cause for the nursing staff. This message was created by Melissa Stöppler and was intended for anyone who finds an interest in understanding the codes of a hospital. Melissa uses an allusion at the beginning of the article by saying, “TV series like "Grey's Anatomy" and "Code Black" seem to have sparked an renewed interest in the topic of "Codes" in medicine.”(What is the "Code"?, Paragraph: 1) This makes people who have seen the shows think about the characters and the lingo of the hospital. The author uses some ethos when she goes on to define what a code red and code blue are. She uses some medical words such as cardiopulmonary arrest. She

Anatomy are the patients and the service that the doctors provide is that they are saving

The movie “The Doctor” captures the shortcomings of a mechanized health care industry. Dr. Jack McKee is a gifted, however, arrogant, and self centered surgeon who cares little about the emotional welfare of his patients; treating them with a callous attitude, and examining them as specimen. Out of the four models of physician/patient relationship, Dr. McKee exemplified the Paternalistic model, the least ideal model for physician/patient interactions. He makes decisions for the patient

Honorable doctors do their best to uphold the Hippocratic oath by being kind to their patients and doing their best to connect. At Harvard, they are now teaching how to connect and bond with patients through Patient-Doctor classes to create a more effective and comforting hospital experience. I know when I go to the hospital, I enjoy when doctors and nurses talk to me about my life and theirs. That bond that is created helps build a trust that this doctor cares and wants what's best for those that they treat; when things go wrong, it also opens up the ability to comfort one another. Building relationships between doctors and patients change the dynamics so that it ends up being doctor

When McMurphy complains about the music being too loud, Nurse confronts him and says, “Mr. McMurphy… I think you are being very selfish. Haven’t you noticed there are other patients in this hospital besides yourself? (106). The Nurse does this to make the patient’s feel down on McMurphy and she tries to make him look selfish.

Finally, all this came together to institutionalize every individual in the hospital. Everything that the patients were expected to do became norms, and things went of control when these established rules were not followed. McMurphy tries to defy everything and lost to it in the end by pretty much becoming permanently institutionalized by the lobotomy. You were to follow the rules or be punished. Nearly every patient was already institutionalized before McMurphy came along, the went completely off the chain when McMurphy sneak alcohol into the hospital. One of them lost their virginity and it broke him. He couldn't handle the thought of that freedom, being an adult and being afraid of Nurse Ratched telling his

In the TV show, “Grey’s Anatomy” by Shonda Rhimes, intersectionality is demonstrated through popular culture with a direct relationship between “professional identity”, sexuality, race and gender. According to Jubas, identity is multidimensional and relational. (Knowles, 2003) Meaning that, identity is an interconnection because human beings have different things in common, but they differ in other aspects. The show presents a varied group of individuals that come from different backgrounds and share one thing in common, the fact that they are all surgeons at Seattle Grace Hospital.

Grey’s Anatomy has a realistic feel. The series indicates actual circumstances. For instance the main setting takes place in a hospital were surgeons spend the majority of their time. Throughout all thirteen seasons you are watching doctors treat and diagnose patients. Doctors are going through the steps of running tests, coming up with treatments plans and performing all kinds of surgeries from an Appendectomy to a heart transplant. The television series shows when running tests or the doctors common knowledge with medicine doesn’t seem to work or treat the patient properly they research the symptom’s, the causes, and why something would work for one patient and not another then they find the best way to treat each patient just as you would see or experience if you were an actual patient being seen in your town hospital. The viewer can get a sense of what it takes to become a surgeon. Starting fresh out of medical
