Grey's Anatomy Life Lessons

I have always loved the beginning and end of Grey's Anatomy where meredith talks. They usually have insightful thoughts so I thought i would start writing them down as I went through the seasons. I'm going to start at the first episode and just keep going :)

 

 

Doctors practice deception all the time. We give vague answers to hard questions. We don’t talk about Post-op pain; we say you’ll experience some discomfort. If you didn’t die, we tell you the surgery went well. The placebo has to be the doctors greatest deception. Half of our patients we tell the truth, the other half we pray the placebo affect’s real and we tell ourselves they’ll feel better anyhow when in fact were leaving them to die.
…
Doctors practice deception everyday. On our patients, on their families but the worst deception we practice is on ourselves. Which is why sometimes it takes a while to realize that the truth has been in front of us the whole time.
