11 Grey's Anatomy Medical Scenes So Inaccurate, They'd Make Real Doctors Laugh
Since its premiere in 2005, "Grey's Anatomy" has been one of the most popular medical dramas on television, thanks in large part to its vivid cast of characters and realistic approach to capturing the work of surgeons and other medical professionals.
However, the massively popular drama was still a primetime network show, which meant that no one really expected it to be completely accurate about the work of doctors.
Here are 11 "Grey's Anatomy" scenes that are completely inaccurate:
Let's face it, "Grey's Anatomy" medical scenes are a tough pill to swallow - they are truly gory, and the camera never flinches as it captures doctors performing surgeries, showing the bloody work in all its gruesome glory.
However, the realistic portrayal of the gory aspects of surgeons' work can't make the show accurate on its own - "Grey's Anatomy" features a bit too many rookie mistakes to serve as a definitive guide to doctors' work.
Some of the mistakes, such as doctors using the wrong equipment or giving an MRI to a patient with a fork in her neck, seem so silly that fans wonder why they were made in the first place.
However, considering how much writing the writers have to do for each new season, it's only natural that they make a bunch of mistakes along the way.
Despite all the mistakes, "Grey's Anatomy" is still one of the most realistic medical shows on the air.
