Today I react to Grey's Anatomy Season 2 episodes 25, 26, and 27, titled 17 Seconds, Deterioration of the Fight or Flight Response, and Losing My Religion. This series of episodes came in heavily recommended and I didn't quite realize what I was getting myself into. Never before has a medical drama triggered me in such a way. Watching Izzy (Katherine Heigl) cut the LVAD wire of Denny (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) made me actually scream at my computer. Ugh, not okay, Shona Rhimes! Let me know which episode I should react to next!

Well, theoretically she only involved George. He then brought Meredith into the room without Izzy knowing and Cristina came on her own because she was sent by Burke lol

[@jessicaarmstrong5035]

A good doctor wouldn't do it. They would tell her that their careers are more important than being her friend and that any "friend" that asks you to do something like that isn't a friend at all but a manipulator. I don't honestly understand how all of those people are so emotionally stunted that they would let her manipulate them so badly.

Oh I can do you one better: look how they treated BAILEY. Not only did they blame Bailey cuz she was the resident and Izzie was just an intern that needed to be shepherded like cattle, apparently, but she sat in a conference of MALE SURGEONS who questioned her fitness as a surgeon and that recently having a BABY months ago has clouded her judgment.

[@rachelgranados1246]

@@zhabtema EXAAAACTLY. I get that she was Bailey’s intern but she shouldn’t have to have worried about something like this. An intern should have the common sense to not cut an LVAD wire. And the fact that Bailey is a mother makes her a better doctor. Maybe she’s more tired because she has a newborn baby but that does not cloud her judgement.

[@hydrogen3266]

They even treated Meredith worse when she and George “had sex.” Then they continue to defend Izzie over and over again. They are also so quick to take them off of cases, but for some reason they didn’t just take Izzie off the case, even tho everyone pretty much knew what was happening here and that she was in love with him

[@kelseymacleod8529]

The sad thing is, if Izzy had just done her job and NOT done medical crimes, Denny almost definitely would have been fine, got a a heart a bit down the line and WOULDN'T have did later on.

[@justbree2764]

I don’t think that’s accurate. Setting aside that this is fiction and thus decided by the whims of the writers: Denny’s condition was stable, but he was still in heart failure. He was on the transplant recipient list, which tells us his heart must have been in bad shape. A patient in Denny’s situation could have worsened at any time and potentially died before he got a chance to get a new heart. And of course, he died after getting his new heart, so that still could have happened if he waited and then got a new one legitimately.

[@chassisluther3325]

And Burke also would’ve never gotten shot

[@michaelbaker7938]

​@justbree2764 yes be the other patient was worse off than de ny was and later on got a hesrt and survived so that would if been Dennys heart and the other patient would of got that hesrt that killed denny

[@chassisluther3325]

@@justbree2764 you’re missing the point. Izzy MADE Denny worse. The other guy was in that shape on his own. Denny was fine on the lvad. Had his body been prepared for that transplant and not in complete shock, the result could’ve potentially been a lot different. Truth of the matter is, Denny died. Izzy essentially killed him and broke many laws and ethics doing it. She disregarded everyone that got in her way including Bailey who was her boss. She should’ve been fired and had her license pulled.

[@ashleytyraisaacs]

To be fair, SPOILER.... if she didn't kill him she wouldn't have been able to make out and have a poly relationship with his ghost and that ghost wouldnt have told her she had cancer. So she killed him to save herself

[@NikoJr.]

So Izzy has two options: 1. Wait for a heart with Denny doing fine on the LVAD 2. Risk killing Denny to get a heart now And because she's a genius, she picks #2 🤦🏼

[@alexanderzack3720]

she ended up killing 2 patients, risked the career of all her friends and is responsible by proxy for burke getting shot which resulted in him needing an operation and he ended up with nerve damage and less control in his hand. i don´t know what surprises me more: 1. she and the others still had a job after this 2. she didn´t end up behind bars or in a psych ward

How she was never charged with attempted murder for cutting that LVAD is beyond me. Denny wasn't dying at that moment, the other patient was. At the very least, she should've lost her medical license permanently. Dr. Hahn called them out on her getting away with what she did in a later episode.

[@gurttron]

Grey's Anatomy is a television show that is filmed in a studio with controlled lighting conditions. The show is intentionally designed to have a muted or dimly-lit visual aesthetic to create a specific mood and atmosphere. The use of low light and shadows in the show is an artistic choice made by the show's creators and cinematographers to create a sense of intimacy and drama, as well as to convey a sense of realism in the portrayal of medical settings. Additionally, the show often features scenes set at night or in low-light environments, such as operating rooms or emergency departments, which would naturally have less ambient light. It is important to note that while the lighting in Grey's Anatomy may appear dim or muted, the show is still fully powered and not affected by a power outage. The show's production team uses specialized lighting equipment to achieve the desired look and atmosphere.

I have hated the Izzie/Denny ship from the very start. I initially thought they would use it as a cautionary tale, ending in a couple of episodes, but not only did Greys romanticize it, they have tried over and over again to justify it as one of the great love stories on the show. In my opinion, what Izzie and Denny had was not love. It was horrible selfishness. First on Denny's part, for making Izzie fall in love with him and continuing to pursue her when he knew she had no real future and that there was a very real possibility that he could die very soon. He did it purely because he was miserable, never once did he think of the impact it would have on her. I don't think Izzie ever recovered as a "doctor" after Denny. Not only did she almost kill him, she emotionally manipulated a very sick patient who had absolutely NO ONE else to advocate for him into basically accepting his death, all because she wanted a future with him that she knew full well while committing to him that she would likely never get. It was an ugly, ugly storyline and it just makes me so mad to see it being portrayed as some sort of romantic tragedy. This was not love.

There was a lot that was problematic about early Grey’s for the drama that my cohort, teenage girls with very strange ideas about love and obsession (like many teenage girls) absolutely ate up. As a late thirties woman working in the nursing field, Dr. Mike’s reaction is absolutely appropriate for basically all of Grey’s plotline.

Can't really blame a dying person for wanting some love even if they might die soon, but regardless I'm pretty sure that the person with higher power in this relationship, i.e the doctor, is the one to blame entirely. It's the same reason to can't date your students even if you're teaching in uni, because while the students are old enough to generally consent, it's considered an uneven relationship where one could use their power over the other. Something which was very obviously showcased here.

You have to be awake during. In the episode, the patient makes them stop the first time because it’s too painful so they have to go in a second time. Btw, the procedure is heavily dramatized (as usual with grey’s lol).

Dr. Hahn didn't quit after this, she was in Grey's Anatomy for 3 more seasons. She left whatever hospital she was working at before to become an attending at Seattle Grace hospital in season 4 and 5. She did end up leaving Seattle Grace because she found out that Izzie was the one responsible for all of this and she wasn't punished very much, but I don't think that's enough of a connection to say that Dr. Hahn quit after this because she wasn't working at Seattle Grace during this incident and because she left 3 years after this. It might be more accurate to say that, after joining Seattle Grace hospital, Dr. Hahn left because of the way this situation was handled afterwards.

0:40 This is so important!!! I'm a pharmacy tech in the emergency department, my role is called "medication reconciliation", which basically means I review a patient's medications on their chart with them (or family, home nurse, etc, whoever handles the medications) and verify dosage and times, and take down specifics on when they were last taken. It just makes it a bit easier for the important people (nurses/doctors) since following a med rec, the patient chart will be accurate and up to date. Plus there are possible interactions between what you take at home and what the doctors/nurses will give you at the hospital, so them having that information helps them treat you. And if you take blood thinners then they definitely want to know that! But just as he said in this part of the video- there are so many cases where patients do not know what they take or why they take it! The amount of people I've had tell me that they just take whatever they have on hand and don't read the labels, have a list, etc, is horrifying. One time I finished going over a middle-aged man's medications and the ED pharmacist caught me as I was leaving, and they asked me what the patient said. I had to inform them that the patient stated they were taking 3 strengths of the same medication for blood pressure and stopped taking their diabetic medication... pharmacist says "well no wonder they feel bad..." There have also been many instances in which a patient inquired on what a medication was for because "I just take it" is scary. This is one of the reasons pharmacies offer counseling from the pharmacist. So yeah. Sorry for the ramble, but if you take medications please make sure you have a list of what you take and the strengths, and you know what you're taking it for.

[@gurttron]

Dr. Mark Sloan, also known as "McSteamy," was a beloved character on Grey's Anatomy played by actor Eric Dane. Mark was involved in a plane crash at the end of season 8 along with several other characters, and while he initially survived, he ultimately died in season 9. Mark's death was due to complications from the injuries he sustained in the plane crash. The crash caused significant trauma to Mark's body, including internal bleeding, which eventually led to his death. In the show, Mark was in a coma for some time after the crash and experienced periods of alertness, which may have been due to the fluctuation of his condition and the treatments he received. The show's portrayal of his condition was not always entirely medically accurate, but it was intended to show the complexity and uncertainty of medical emergencies. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, showrunner Shonda Rhimes explained that Mark's death was a difficult decision but one that was necessary for the show's storytelling. She said, "I love Mark Sloan, and Eric Dane is one of the finest human beings I've ever met. But creatively, we needed to end that story. The tragedy is that we had all those things planned for him that we didn't get to do." Mark's death had a significant impact on the show and its characters, and his memory was honored throughout the remaining seasons.

I audibly laughed when he talked about the “crazy murdering nurse. That doesn’t happen everywhere.” Because there was a DIFFERENT serial killer murdering nurse in my hometown and I was one of the reporters who covered his death penalty trial in 2021

[@cherry03512]

the funny thing is that the biggest consequence of this episode is izzy (the crazy blonde doctor who almost, but intentionally, killed her bf) becoming a multimillionaire... grey's is such a wild ride and i love it. you don't watch this show for the medicine, you watch it for the drama :)

[@JustLIkerapunzel]

She didn't just almost kill him. She DID KILL HIM AND THE OTHER PATIENT! No way of telling if he could have been alive if she did nothing. The odds were not great of course but you simply can't predict wether another match could have come up just a day later while he would habe started off much more stable to begin with. He was already high on the priority list to begin with after all!

"The evil version of House" made me chuckle. I never really got into Grey's, but I remember this episode irritating me so much! "She's not even a good lawbreaker!" Pretty much what I said when I first watched this ep.

[@gronks_place]

bruh I remember watching this and feeling my sanity drip down the drain at every decision izzie made 😭

[@kaortega1120]

Love his surprise to these storylines! LOL --- No, She does not get kicked off, she quits and then gets accepted back, slowly. This storyline returns later in the series and another Dr has a serious problem with how this was handled. I so enjoy hearing your profession options - So Fun!

Hey Dr. Mike Back in 1995, my dad had a really bad heart attack. The doctors tried everything and he flat-lined and was out for a few mins and my mom was told by the nurses to.make funeral arrangements. One doctor, however gave him a few chest compressions and then the defib and his heart started again He is 73 now. In 2005 he also got a pacemaker and is doing fine now. This episode always makes me cringe because urgh this man's life could have been saved.

[@sapphirewyren02]

forget about this dude, what about the guy who was suppossed to get the heart in the first place???

[@inconvertibleatheist8833]

@@sapphirewyren02 He lives, but barely getting by because Han refused to give up on him.

If you think this is crazy you should see the episode where they operate on each other in the basement so they can get surgery practise.

[@andy6877]

WHAT?!?! WHO SIGNED OFF ON THIS SHOW???!!

[@tiffanyelliott2852]

Whaaat!! What episode was that?

[@ChristineKrannich]

Suturing each other becomes taking out the appendix of a fellow intern only to realize it looked abnormal. My respect for the writers actually went up when Grey and Yang had Bailey paged instead of trying to cover it up. Melissa George (played Sadie) was such a great casting decision for that role.

[@ChristineKrannich]

@Tiffany Elliott In the Midnight Hour, Season 5 Ep 9.

[@inconvertibleatheist8833]

Oh yeah lmao that episode was insane. Like in which of the infinite possibilities of future did you ever think it was a good idea????

[@noli_ice]

I always thought that I was insensitive but I truly wasn't here for Izzy doing what she did. Especially when later on, the patient she stole the heart from came to the hospital and his condition was so bad

[@eagleking4574]

I've been waiting for you to react to this episode for years!!! 😀😀
