Doctor and Lawyer React To Grey’s Anatomy Malpractice Episode

Legal Eagle and I went head to head last year to see which was harder, Med School or Law School. We decided to bury the hatchet this time and join our forces to react to the popular medical malpractice episode of Grey’s Anatomy, Season 10 Episode 9 “Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word”. I brought my medical knowledge about a surgery gone wrong for a snowboarder who loses his legs above the knee. Devin Stone brought his legal expertise to break down what was accurate and what was fake during the trial of Dr. Callie Torres.

Every grey's Anatomy Fan ever:
Title "Doctor and lawyer react to grey's anatomy malpractice episode."
"Wait, Which one?"

[bjelln]

The fact that they both caught "hun" immediately and reacted just proves how professional these men are.

I like how Devin implies that being a lawyer also comes with detailed knowledge in men's fashion.

I heard my dentist say "oops" while drilling my tooth once.
They had to stop for a full minute because i couldn't stop laughing.
The (understandably) sheepish looks the dentist and their assistant had while trying not to laugh too, was making me laugh more.
I never let them live it down. Good naturedly of course. No harm was done.

[TimeBucks]

It looks as if they both are learning from each other

Plot Twist: Doctor Mike is getting legal advice just in case this happens to him.

[entropie]

Dr. Mike: "She's guilty."
Devin: "Liable. It's a civil case. She's liable. And so is the hospital."

I love the distinction of legalese.

Devin: nice clothes are ok, you do not have to be that specific.
Also Devin: analyses in depth how the cuff-links fit to the collar of the lawyer 5 seconds later.

no one's talking about the fact that if the snowboarder had a friend who successfully received the hip surgery why he couldn't go to the same doctor to have it done and tried it experimentally with a doctor who didn't know the procedure 😭

[eternalmood]

This whole episode is just:
Mike: _cringe_ wHY AREN’T YOU CHECKING ON HIM?!?!?
LegalEagle: you know what you might as well just sell the hospital.

19:05 I love how he probably saw his legs a while ago but covered them up and waited for the doctors to walk in just to do a dramatic reveal

[brookeallen]

This type of collaboration NEEDS to happen way more often. The world definitely needs more educated professionals on the internet.

My mum's a retired nurse and when I used to watch Grey's Anatomy she'd be pointing out all the things the hospital staff were doing wrong. It's was quite educational.

[gray]

The fact that they took the time to roast some fashion without even using it as an ad is iconic

[SkylerW]

This is a really hard episode to watch. My dad was an amputee and he went into the hospital for a gallbladder surgery. When he was in the surgical ICU he complained that his (remaining)leg felt off. The nurse ignored him and left him for the night. When my mom went to visit the next day his leg had turned black, because one of the air tubes was wrapped around his leg tightly. They had to amputate his leg, and was placed in the medical ICU. Between the two surgeries it was to much for his body and he passed 2 weeks later. To this day I still can't go in that hospital. We never sued, or went after the hospital either. I appreciate the work the doctors did to help him after that nurse made that mistake, but it doesn't stop me from distrusting that hospital staff.

The synchronized “hun hun hun?!” reaction from both of them was gold

[LegalEagle]

The sponge was wrongfully accused! #spongejustice #justiceforthesponge

[LePetitDoll]

"This would be a multi-year process"
Don't get me started on how screwed up the timeline is in Grey's Anatomy.

[sophialarson]

look at how attentively Legal Eagle is watching Dr. Mike when he speaks. such a lawyer thing

[soupergiffy]

I’ve served on 3 juries and the amount of manipulation from lawyers toward witnesses, jurors, and expert testimonies, was like nails on a chalkboard. I wish their manipulations were illegal.
