Doctor Reacts To Worst Grey's Anatomy Episode | LVAD

Listen to my podcast, @DoctorMikeCheckup, here:

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!

"If she's willing to kill you for love, do you know what she's gonna do if you try and break up with her?" lmaooo Dr. Mike out here spittin' FACTS

[charlotteboucherbeaulieu]

I’ve found this story so romantic at 14 years old, now I’m 29 and I’m shock how dumb I was 😂

[kelseymacleod]

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.

[itsrachwhoelse]

Not to mention how unprofessional the whole situation was, Izzy was a terrible friend to involve her all of them in her foolishness, forcing them to risk their careers & licenses to prove they cared about her.

[almarks]

It’s fun watching Dr. Mike switching back and forth between calmly explaining medical stuff and loosing his peewooping mind from watching the madness of Greys Anatomy.

[eileenpizzi]

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.

[AkaTinaSmith]

During my second rewatch of Grey's i could NOT believe they gave Christina more of a cold shoulder for helping burke than Izzie for killing this man. like HUH?

[lilydebolt]

The thing that I find crazy is later on in the show Dr. Webber fires April for making a small error that cost a patients life when every other doctor kills a perfectly healthy patient by making errors quite often in the show, but he didn’t fire Izzy for purposely stealing a heart from a father by putting another man’s life on the line.

[Jessica-fuct]

“I don’t know if the writers deserve a raise or need to lay off the adderall” 😂😂💀💀 this was the best Dr reacts I have ever seen 😂

[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 🤦🏼

[juliacanchild]

“He’s hypoxic! He doesn’t know what he’s saying!” hit me WAY harder than it should’ve. 🤣

[anamariazambrano]

Adenosine is the “have you tried turning it off then turning it back on again” of cardiac medications

[tayzonday]

Why is there no light on Grey’s Anatomy? Are they in a nonstop power outage?

[starscream]

It makes me so mad. Like first she basically destroys him physically to try and get him a heart and then after he gets destroyed and gets the heart he dies because he can’t withstand it. It’s maddening

[kristinediedrich]

I never forgave Izzy after this, she wasn't great before imo, but after this I could never see her as anything other than a self-serving, self-righteous person who knew what was right and wrong and everyone else was terrible except her

[corneliastreet]

“Don’t become a criminal and cut people’s LVAD wires”

Aw man, there go my weekend plans

[SeleneLedezma]

I remember being devastated about Denny's death but the fact that Izzy and everyone involved faced little to no consequences was so shocking and not shocking at the same time lmao

[BrandonWestfall]

The hysterical laughing when you hear Burke was shot had me in tears laughing.

[betsyappelhof]

“I hope she doesn’t poison him” 😂😂😂😂 I bet you wish she had instead of cutting the LVAD wire 😂😂😂

[girlysword]

I love this episode. I hate that Izzie is allowed to come back to the hospital in the next season. Characters making mistakes is part of how storytelling works. But if those mistakes don't have reasonable consequences the story loses credibility. That is my biggest problem with Grey's in general, ultimately nothing matters.
