I think you need to think of it this way. When people in cosmetology are trained, they are trained for everything. However, when you're in a salon you're used to having the same style come in almost every time. Same style, same hair color, because it's popular or more common. When someone comes in asking for something different you have to reevaluate and remember what you were taught in order to do those particular things. I don't think the doctors were incompetent, even though it's all acting, I just believe they were used to the same hairstyle and in a extreme situation like that, you don't have time to think about your training in a timely manner because you're so worried about someone. I think it's no less stressful than when someone can't breathe and you know CPR but it takes you a few seconds to remember how to actually do CPR. I'll give an example of my life. I had a moment last year where a car was pulled over and the man was waving down cars on my way home from church. I stopped to see what was the matter because nobody else would because of covid even though I had a newborn baby in the car. His partner was in the passenger seat convulsing with the mask over her face, foam out of her mouth. He was on the phone with 911 but didn't know how to handle the situation. I luckily grew up with a father who was a police officer and taught me early on how to handle situations like this. I stabilized the woman and when other people realized they needed help they stopped until a nurse came to help us as well before the paramedics got there. To an normal person it would only make sense like it would to me to take them out of the car put them on the ground on their side so that they wouldn't throw up in their lungs, and keep calm long enough for someone to come help with medication and expertise. However, he was hysterical and couldn't focus in the moment. I just so happen to have been trained extensively through my whole life how to handle different types of situations just like this one from my father just in case and was able to help and stablize her in the situation regardless of my schooling expertise. (I'm a marine biologist, not a nurse or PhD just yet). Sometimes in the heat of the moment your mind goes blank and it's nobody's fault. That's why medical professionals don't work alone because not everyone can handle stressful situations in the moment. Even if they handle multiple moments, sometimes I can't handle every moment and that's okay. All that's important is that they try. We're better with them than without them.

@@rainotter I had such a situation this month. I got to school for 3 years to become a caregiver (nurse-assistant, whatever you wanna call it. Those that take care, wash, give food etc. to seniors in nursing homes etc. but I’m gonna change my job but has nothing to do with what happened) so I know a lot about first aid. The point of view: My mom and I live next to my grand-parents (now only grandma) and my grandma ran as fast as she could to get our help and she knew that I had some knowledge about the human body even if she’s in the early stages of a demencia and my grandpa laid on the kitchen floor, didn’t move, didn’t react, his face already had cyanosis, his tongue struck out, his eyes were wide open, he had no pulse, no breathing and as Dr. Mike would say: CHEST COMPRESSIONS, CHEST COMPRESSIONS, CHEST COMPRESSIONS! But my mind was the blankest of blank, I cried my eyes out, I didn’t stop yelling that he had no pulse and my mom had enough emotional control that she could call the ambulance and we weren’t really clear because my mom (that has a lot less knowledge in this field than I) and I panicked and my grandma was just in the corner and wasn’t a help because she’s always helpless (she’s often confused as I said early stage of demencia, she still can live alone) and the VERY FRIENDLY and HELPFUL!!! paramedics (a huge thank you to those people) helped me through the phone of what to do and to do chest compressions and I still don’t know to this day how I had so much strength in this wrecking situation to continue it for a couple minutes until the paramedics came. We needed to go out of the room and they did their work of what they had to do. They also called an emergency doctor. The emergency doctor later said that he was already dead when he had fallen from the chair onto the floor and that he didn’t felt pain in his last moments, a natural dead he said, maybe a heart attack or stroke, we don’t know 🤷🏻‍♀️ and that it’s the best death someone could get because he died instantly without pain. The paramedics later said that I did a good job and that I didn’t need to worry that I did something wrong, bless the paramedics 💓 That for sure is a day I will never ever forget in my life, wow 🤧

The fact that they skipped the CT and went straight for abdominal surgery is key to the storyline. The emotions are intense in this one because Dr Shepard is a neurosurgeon, and its a brain injury that takes him out. Also, the "he's a doctor" moment is relevant not because they were going to treat him differently but because he came in as a John Doe and the little girls information lead to identifying him and his next of kin.

The roughest call back was when Merideth has to go before the local medical board to determine the fate of her license and one of the board members is the neurosurgeon that was on Derek's team in this episode.

I've seen another doctor react to this episode and she explained why some doctors do that, like suddenly act differently when they find out its a doctor. so basically when it comes to a regular patient doctors would give 100% of their effort to save the patient, but when the patient is in the medical field they (not saying all doctors do this) tend to give 110% of their efforts because, well its a fellow doctor, someone who has saved so many lives before, also I suppose like one of the replies here said, also maybe afraid of judgement. I know they didn't know at the time but how do you think it felt that you weren't able to save one of the most well known neuro surgeons just for not getting a freaking head ct?

I liked how this episode did depict what happens in smaller hospitals because someone I know who was a respiratory therapist dealt with doctors who did not care about coming in and the day shift having to do the night shift’s jobs. They also had limited resources and even if they did know something, they still had to contact their supervisor or another doctor. So I feel for the doctor who dealt with the stupid red tape.

The McDreamy accident episode made me SO MAD. He could have and would have been saved but doctors were too busy being cocky and careless on top of his careless move to answer his phone while his car is still in the middle of the road. I sobbed my eyes out for hours after watching that episode for the first time. I couldn’t handle his death.

this episode hit me really hard, not only was derek a character i was quite fond of (until he had his 'constant lashing out at meredith' arc...), my mom died in a car accident a few years back so it was quite rough to watch.

After my dad was hit by a train when he was 16, they did a head ct and found he had bleeding on the brain. He’s now 70 and we call him the bionic man for the steel plate that replaced his skull. That head ct saved his life.

If your dad is now 70, and the accident was when he was 16 (54 years prior), it would have been in 1968/1969. The first CT scan of the human brain was in 1971 and first commercial CT machine in 1972. So you either have some mistakes in your ages, or perhaps the scan was something other than a CT.

tbh i somewhat like how they treated his death because it's so realistic. he was randomly hit by a truck, doctors making bad calls, dying because doctors made horrible decisions/weren't trained properly/let their pride get in the way of a patient's life. this is unfortunately a scenario i think too many could relate to.

I was in a high speed car crash, I was TBoned, I'm happy first thing they did was a CT scan, besides the chest tubes. I Remember telling the paramedic while in the driver's seat as I was grasping for air ( I think my lung is collapsed). It turned out to be a pressure rupture on my diaphragm. Happy the doctor called in a liver transplant specialist to over see the surgery.

I'm almost crying here. Meredith was very cold to the doctors because she knew that the love of her life, Derek, was thinking all the through the medical attending that he passed.

What you perceive as cold is actually analytical and pragmatic. She is a doctor. You can see it in her face and in the sound of her voice on the verge of cracking, she has the knowledge of the processes around her but she wishes with all her might that she could neglect it, to toss all that knowledge away to be naive and hopeful he will survive this. But in the end, her knowledge Dave's him countless hours of agony being trapped in a non functioning body and, as the narrative has already demonstrated, he was screaming at the top of his mind function but nothing getting out, they waited too long for critical care steps to be done. Now with the MOI (mechanism of injury), chances are slim that Humpty Dumpty could be put back together again, but when you miss these critical injuries and so much time passes, there are no do overs. There is no guarantee he would have made it even if they had stopped or relieved the pressure on the brain, and missing key abdominal bleeding. But the chances could have improved significantly for a guarded prognosis. No, his previous career would have been over. His life would have had chronic pain. But if he would have managed to pull through, he could have possibly adjusted to a life crisis of teaching only, there are ways to survive things like this, but is the patient willing to survive it after irrevocably massive changes to their lifestyles and daily living? Are they willing to adapt after their body has been saved? We, medically can save bodies, but damage is done. It is instantaneous changes that patients must come to grips with quickly. Not being able to walk, loss of major functions, loss of identity, loss of careers, loss of whatever. It can break some who are unable or sometimes unwilling to adapt and embrace change. New challenges can overwhelm. The pain of perfect bodies mangled creating constant pain after the body heals its best. Nerve pain can be permanent. I have been in major accidents that I recouperated in 3 days from. I healed a broken foot in 3 weeks. The Dr could not grasp that. It was amazing to see his face. I personally will "climb the mountain, go around the mountain, go back and go around the other side, tunnel under it, or set the mountain on fire and blow it up, or whatever I have to do to persevere and get that mountain in my rear view mirror no matter what it cost to me physically. I am an overcomer. I have amazed physical therapists, Dr's and such with my tenacity and drive. Is that healthy? Not all the time. But I will get the job done. I recently sacrificed my health working 80 plus hours at work for 4 months in a row to help my co- workers (friends) survive work while everyone was dropping like flies due to covid. I eventually had to stop because your body and circulation are not meant to compensate for 80 plus hours of standing, missing bathroom breaks, missing meals, all because I got lost in the need to be there and fix the issues. I made a difference but my heart and kidneys sustained damage from it. Started to have bad CHF and beginning kidney failure. I am not as young as I used to be. But I did lose 3 dress sizes. Bonus. Just not the good way.

Meredith is not cold. She is educated. And she knows the patient. She wished she could give everything she had and was to see a different outcome, but the issues are known. The damage done. The poor decisions made. Can't take back time. He was gone when they ignored protocol.

I remember another KZreadr covered this specific episode, and they said something along the lines of "The brain should always be the highest priority. Because if the brain dies, then that's it, the person is gone", which makes a lot of sense. Especially in cases, where you can visually see that they already have a head injury, aka Derek legit bleeding from a wound in his head.

Adrenaline only lasts 2 hours. He had severe nerve compression more likely due to an unstable fracture. Then when a movement relieved the pressure on the compressed nerve, or he decided enough is enough of the pain and something is wrong, then they discovered the area with localized pain. Shock can lady days... adrenaline minutes to hours unless they have Cushings or Addisons. Then medications used to cope with these adrenal crises can obscure issues as you try to compensate for poor functioning glands.

I had fluid in AND around my lungs that we eventually found out was from a mild infestation in our apartment. The doctor was able to numb the skin a little but I still felt the scalpel and the tube penetrate my chest. I’ve got a high pain tolerance but good God that hurt like hell.

It still makes me mad that Meredith didn't call any of his family to say goodbye. His sister was literally thirty minutes down the street.

I can only imagine how terrifying it must be to die when you're a doctor, let alone, for the very reason you specialize in (in mcdreamy's case, it's neurosurgery). My grandmother worked in the medical field and she died of cancer. I never knew her, so I can only judge about her by my mother's memories. Alas, this is understandably a very painful topic for her, bc my grandma died too soon, so I try to mention the grandmother as rarely as possible.

This is very negligent and so upsetting! I loved when Meredith confronted the Doctor when her license was in question. In my case, I remained undiagnosed with a pituitary tumor causing Cushings Disease for SEVENTEEN YEARS. Had my right eye twitching non stop and drooping before they would agree to an MRI. Negligence!!!! It’s rampant. So are big egos.

When my mom was dying, we were given the choice as a family... Keep her on life support in the vain hope she *might* wake up, or put her on comfort care until she passed. The chances of her waking up were very low, and we knew that even if she did wake up, she'd never be the same. There was too much damage after an aneurysm and stroke and we knew she'd rather die than live her life severely impaired. We made the decision to let her go, and it was the most painful thing I've ever been through, but I took solace in knowing she passed without the pain she'd lived with her entire life. One of our main regrets was that we sort of knew what she wanted as far as death care, but not everything... she didn't have a will, she didn't name anyone as primary... We had to jump through so many hoops after she died, and that was immensely painful. As sad and as scary as it is to think about our own mortality, I'm working with my husband to set up a care plan for us both should something happen to either of us. We're only in our early 30's, but neither of us want our families to go through the hurt of guessing what we might have wanted.

Im sending you love and prayers. Stay strong💗🙏

this episode never fails to make me cry with anger. he could have been saved

Dr. Mike is making doctors out of us all.

You should watch/react to the episode where Meredith sits in front of a jury of doctors to see if she gets her license revoked! The doctor who tells her they need the room is on that jury, Meredith has a big monologue about Derek’s death!

That would be a fun one for another cross over, because the ending of that situation, while moving, seems pretty dumb from a legal POV. 😂

I was thinking on that episode.

My son sustained a TBI due to a motorcycle accident. The ER doctors did everything correctly and saved his life. He is still recovering (13 months post) but because of their quick work he is my walking miracle. A head CT was done immediately and saw the damage right away.

2:53 okay, so after two and a half years I finally have a satisfactory answer as to why I didn't fully understand the pain immediately when I had an extremely deep cut just above my left eye that tore apart quite a few blood vessels...

Another great rebiew would be the Greys anatomy episode when the hospital had a sever flood and contaminated water got into a chest cavity. There was also a episode when flooding caused one of the interns and the chief to be electrecuted.
