..:: 566. The One With Grey's Anatomy ::..

gosh, got hooked on the series. loved the characters there. each with their style and character. the show is adrenaline pumping. when you start to find the live stories or drama of the characters too boring, there come the casualties. some of which are freak accident like a pencil in the eye... arteries from the neck burst, you see blood gushing everywhere.

it taught me to be calm during such stressful situations and look at things from different perspective to solve what seems impossible. There are organisation and management issues to learn from especially from the chief resident (the one in charge of all the resident doctors)

there are difficult choices to make in life. For them, being a doctor, surgeon is to save lives. It is hard not to be emotionally involved and also to balance between caring too much for the patient (like a social worker) and do what a doctor should do. Their personal life and love life almost always in conflict and you can see in the show there are some who really stuck by their vows as a doctor and ended up in bad relationship, divorces and stuff. There are also issues of colour, races and religion brought to attention which made the show even more interesting and realistic.

now i know why one of the show on tv was called 'scrubs' cos for anyone who want to be involved in an operation, they would request to 'scrub it in'... and it was interesting to see how the resident doctors torture their interns...

also learnt that to fear is that you have something to lose. that is why some patients kept on fighting even though they are afraid, they dun want to lose something they hold dear.

The ER situations when the doctors wait outside the hospital are the most exciting.

"We go into medicine because we want to save lives

We go into medicine because we want to do good

We go into medicine for the rush, for the high, for the ride

But what we remember at the end of most days are the losses

What we lay awake at night we replaying is

The pain we caused, or the failure to cure, or the lives we ruined and failed to save

So the experience and practice in medicine rarely resemble the goal

Experience too often is ass backwards, and upside down"

love the narration and how a central idea and the events relate to the idea. that's why i love sex and the city too except with less moaning :X
