Rhimes described her hit show on the Tavis Smiley Show saying, “Grey’s Anatomy is more than just a medical drama.

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.

In one episode of “Grey’s Anatomy,” a male doctor insults a female doctor, by calling her a nurse (Rhimes). The female doctor feels offended being called a nurse and replied “Did you just called me a nurse?” As a student nurse, I believe that nursing is a respectable profession. We are not medical school rejects, dropouts or failures. We chose nursing, because we wanted to be a nurse as bad as the Medical Schools’ students want to become MDs. Unfortunately, this kind of stereotype has created a big misunderstanding of nursing in the eyes of our

From start to finish actually you see different instances where the doctors weren’t really being respectful. Let’s start with the opening scene when Dr.McKee was performing surgery on the patient whom attempted to commit suicide and jump of a building. They were in there having a good time singing and dancing and joking around saying “next time make it 10 flight or less” which isn't appropriate to say at all given the circumstances. You see how everyone thinks Dr.McKee is so cool along with Dr.Kaplan with him and they sort of have this cool doctor club vibe going, and when Dr.Blumfield asked for help who is a little more sensitive with the patients and cares a lot more he was looked at as the lame doctor and was always made fun because of the way he practices his skills with his

Lisa Belkin is a women of her words. Ms. Belkin crammed all feelings imaginable into one book. Just as things seemed to be looking up for the patients involved she threw in a twist just within the next statement. This book is an emotional rollercoaster on all levels, but it was an abundant read. Lisa Belkin’s book is full of ethical dilemmas, provocative insights, indescribable doctor-patient/doctor-coworker relationships, and further more. “First, do no harm” is a principal in medical ethics its self. Medical staff are supposed to abide by the 4 principles of medical ethics, autonomy, beneficence, justice, and non-maleficence. Non-maleficence within its self means do no harm (which is the title of the book). The content of this book is based

Women often receive scrutiny in a male dominated workplace. As of 2017, there are 271 general surgery residency programs in the United States. Out of this large number, 16 are lead by women compared to only 1 in 2014 (Sharma). Women’s roles in the workplace are adapting and stereotypes about the differentiation between male and female work are being broken down. Grey’s Anatomy is a show that explores the complexities of balancing the personal and professional lives of medical residents at Seattle Grace Hospital. This study will hope to address how avid viewers of this show interpret the character’s roles and how it correlates with real life.

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

Summer’s explains in this statement that Nurses in the media are shown to be nothing more than “helper’s” of the physicians and that we do not do any real work on our own. We simply don’t matter only the physicians do and are not respected for the work we put in. What they don’t show in the media is how nurses are the first to see the patient, we are the ones who do initial assessments and know the patients baseline. We report to the physicians any abnormal findings and tell them how everything is going, the physicians go with nurse’s judgement. One example where they did not respect nurses in the media happened recently on the talk show called “The View”.

In Dr. Goldman’s article “Doctors Make Mistakes: A Commentary on Medical Errors” (TedTalk) he asserts the doctors are reluctant to admit making errors.

He further asserts that the culture is pervasive within the medical profession and that it makes doctors afraid to come forward.

Continuing to say, ‘Hospitals are the ideal setting hospital dramas because they allow shows to introduce new characters each week with dramatic life and death storylines.’ (Standler & McWilliam, 2009). The setting of any television drama plays a crucial role in the storytelling because it is the influencer of it. From looking at the setting, audience is able to understand from the beginning, what the story will be based around. For example, in one scene playing from 05:40 till 07:00, we as the audience understand that Grey’s Anatomy is based in a hospital and that they job is to assist patients as they did while performing a medical procedure on a patient.
