What really kills me is that in medical dramas, the doctors give out promises like it's Halloween and they're giving out candy. They promise to save lives when it's very iffy, for instance. Surely a professional would only promise to do his/her best. Anytime you make promises as to medical outcome of an operation or treatment, you're setting yourself up for the wrath of the patient or the family later when things don't turn out the same as they promised. But yeah, Arizona should have known better anyway.

IRL they shouldn't also prognosticate a " 2 weeks to 2 months to live" either and rip lives apart and then have the patient live for another 7 years!

I've never really cottened to Arizona....she's too needy.

Woot! Taking it back! I loved this show!!! There was no surge in anyone that I knew of who passed. I suppose my parents were too sick and my mothers condition would not have allowed it in the end.

I have heard of it before but I never knew of any name for it.

I am really sad that my favorite show now sucks donkey b*lls. Sorry for the wording, but really, it just does. I can remember being so excited for Thursday to get here so I could watch GA. Blah.

I miss a lot of them! Lexie and Mark are just the two latest casualties! The quality of the show is also a casualty IMHO!

Meh.
George always had this 'der' look on his face.
Brought out my inner bully and made me want to punch him in the face.

I think the show really picked up when Izzy (*snore*) left and kinda started falling apart last year.

Are you saying they do this in real life and shouldn't, or they shouldn't do it on Grey's?

IRL they told my mother to get her affairs in order because she had ... I'm not kidding ... 2 weeks to 2 months to live ... and she managed to hang in there for nearly a year (not 7, though).
