20 Ways Watching "Grey’s Anatomy" Makes You A Real Doctor

Scrub in, turn on the overhead lights, cue the sad song and ask for the scalpel. It’s time for surgery. Even though you’ve never been to medical school, watching every season of "Grey’s Anatomy" makes you just as qualified to be a doctor. Here’s why…

  • You know what a scalpel is
  • You know what forceps are
  • You’ve seen so many surgeries done, you can do them with your eyes closed
  • You know what an LVAD wire is
  • You know what Phantom Limb Syndrome is
  • After 13 seasons of taking notes, you now can properly scrub in
  • You know every word to “How to Save a Life” All doctors do
  • You would never mess up an appendectomy (Gosh dang it O’Malley)
  • You know phrases like "Push one of epi”
  • And “Doctor, it’s too late. He’s gone.”
  • And “charge to 300!”
  • You work well with sad music in the background
  • You now know how to operate inside of an elevator if the situation comes up
  • You are no longer squeamish around blood
  • You know the protocol if a huge storm hits the hospital
  • You can now properly help remove someone from a crushed car
  • You know to immediately sue the hospital if you get into a plane crash
  • You know what on-call rooms are really used for
  • Sometimes hospitals merge and now you know exactly how to protect your job
  • You know the patient is the most important person in the room

Now, you’re not as good of a doctor as Meredith Grey, and you still have a long way to go considering you haven’t even been to medical school yet. Keep it up though, you’re halfway there!

1. The wait for Buffalo Wild Wings is always going to be long on Thursday nights.
