well i have decided i am gonna write on every monday what happened on my fav tv show greys anatomy......what my opinions r on various characters , the plot ,the behaviour of various docs etc etc..the most important things that happened previous week was christina accepted burke's proposal of marriage......it was lovely...callie and george got married....bailey opened a danny ducat memorial clinic with money izzie gave her......now christina was supposed to tell meredith that she has accepted burke's marriage proposal...and burke was supposed to announce to evrybody only after that....now christina doesnt find words how to tell meredith abt it...and soon meredith along with rest had to rush to a dockyard where a passenger ship had caught fire and there was emergencies everywhere...thats where while saving a person meredith falls in sea...
this week ie yesterday what happened was...izzie performs a bur hole surgery in a garage where a man is stuck beneath a car with chief and mark guiding her over the phone.....she is successful...saves a life as the people come from hospital to take the man to the hospital for further surgery....izzie is off probation :)
christina is busy treating patients from the calamity..doin what she can...and trying to find meredith...
alex is busy trying to calm relatives of patients from the calamity....and is busy trying to find a pregnant woman's relative who he had rescued......justin chambers does a fine job in this episode...he feels so helpless as he does not know how to announce to the relatives that not all patients have survived...not all people have been brought to the hospital...maybe their near and dear one cud be dead in the accident by the dock......he reaches out to them , but he too is aching from within......he tries to be the tough guy always...but today he is vulnerable seeing this mass calamity and unable to even help everyone locate their families...he says they r doin their best but he questions himself from within if their best is good enough???
george is trying to find a woman's child who is lost and he has lied to mother that he has found him so that she gives consent for the operation......he finds the child by the end of episode :)
derek realizes in a while meredith is missing....he spots a small girl who was with meredith where she was...and the girl points to the sea......well the part where they show derek coming up with unconscious meredith in his arms and thereafter is really emotional........i mean i am big fan of patrick dempsey but yest he jus bowled me over with his acting and not jus his good looks.......his face registered shock and helplessness and as he reaches the van he starts cardiac massage......he begs meredith to return.....and he is vigorously trying to revive her as the ambulance reaches hospital......as bailey sees them she takes meredith in the OR....asks derek to go out as he is no shape to do anything.....the chief goes in there....as burke comes dereks expressions of pleading to burke to revive meredith r too touching.......addison too goes in the OR....where they all r trying to revive meredith......mark sits with derek outside giving him strength.......first time in all these years after derek had caught mark and addison together does derek accepts mark's friendship...feels good someone is there with him outside the OR....accepts his strength..turns to him as mark understands derek's (his childhood and once upon time best friend's) grief.....izzie,george,alex and christina are outside the OR scared , giving each other their shoulder ,praying,hoping ,crying.....at the end of the episode meredith was sinking....
this is the hardest part of being a doctor...the helplessness u feel wen someone u love and care about is sick and u know there is not much u can do or that u have done u best and just have to wait for the rest... i dont have a lot of first hand experience as i am a dentist and dont generally deal with life threatening cases...but as my parents r into emergencies most of the time i kinda know how it feels.......ignorance is bliss they say and at such times u know why this quote was written....when u know all possible things that cud go wrong...all possible complications...even a small sign can mean a lot, cud be an indication of something thats majorly wrong....
still remember my mother's reluctance of having done my surgery under general anesthesia and opting for spinal anesthesia as it apparently has fewer known complications....and how she and dad lay awake whole night as i developed a funny complication (i had hiccups and sharp shooting pain in right shoulder due to irritation of right phrenic nerve)...wat caused this irritation gave my parents sleepless night as it cud be a variety of possibilities of things gone wrong (which i didnt know at that time) and possible major complications..
once i was in hospital with mom, dad had gone out....he had this old lady admitted in hospital for heart attack and she had improved a lot and was abt to be discharged....and while we were there in hospital she got another major attack....mom rushed...did all the emergency procedures....i too was helping her whatever i cud......and still as the lady worsened i had this sinking feeling in my stomach.......the helplessness i felt that even after doin humanly everything she succumbed.......i felt so terrible and she was not even a known person....u know then why they coined the phrase there is many a slip between the cup and the lip
imagine how it wud feel if its ur family who is a patient......wen my dad had met with an acccident and post surgery developed deep vein thrombosis (which he himself diagnosed) my mom was so scared as it cud lead to embolism of clot which is life threatening condition...wen she asked the hematologist the signs she should look out for which wud suggest embolism and emergency treatment for it to be given the doc said well u wont have time to do anything if embolism occurs....in a couple of minutes the damage is done...and u can imagine wat went thru her...she was so paranoid...
i guess only doctors believe in miracles not only coz they see them happen...but coz it is their only hope...that something still can work out...the belief keeps them going....keeps them striving even wen odds r against them....they desperately need to believe that something can happen thats beyond their reach....something that is unexplainable unexpected unheard but is known to happen once in a while... other people may just say verbally that they believe in miracles or not but doctors need it for survival, for their sanity.......they have little choice to believe otherwise
