I Actually Really Hated 'Grey’s Anatomy,' Don’t @ Me

It feels like everybody and their mother is obsessed with it.

I Actually Really Hated 'Grey’s Anatomy,' Don’t @ Me
ABC

Ah, “Grey’s Anatomy.” It feels like everybody and their mother is obsessed with it. The show has been on TV since 2005there are some kids in middle school that were born after the show premiered (if that doesn’t make you feel old, I don’t know what will.)

But there are a lot of things wrong with “Grey’s Anatomy.”

I have never worked in the medical field, but I have grown up surrounded by nurses. My mom has been a nurse for her entire career, and most of her friends are nurses. I have spent my life listening to horrifying medical stories at the dinner table.

I’m not claiming to be an expert, but I know enough.

I tried to watch “Grey’s Anatomy” a few months ago and could only get through the first two seasons. There were just so many things that stood out in my mind.

First of all, it’s so medically inaccurate. The way that they handle surgeries, codes and everything in between is just so wrong.

Also, they get way too close to their patients. Like when Izzy gets super weirdly close to Denny? That would never happen in real life.

The biggest issue I have with the show is the relationships they have with each other. Residents and doctors don’t hook up. Nobody hooks up in the break room. (At least, they shouldn’t.)

But literally everybody on that show hooks up with each other and it’s not OK.

“Grey’s Anatomy” paints a horrible picture of the medical profession. It makes them seem like unprofessional, sex-craved fools.

So, a word of advice: Please realize that “Grey’s Anatomy” is extremely unrealistic, and watch it cautiously.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself.
