grey’s anatomy – my heart
to quote the good folks at seattle grace hospital, "seriously".
or in hong kong, "series-ly".
hong kong isn’t on top of the game when it comes to series television. we’re everything from two episodes to two years behind. a noteable exception, possibly due to my letters, telephone calls and tears is the amazing race, for which we are only 14 hours delayed. AND (AMAZING RACE SPOILER AHEAD, if you would like to go back a few months to my prediction blog, may i say, i did quite well in the predictions.)
so it is only recently that i started watching grey’s anatomy. series one started in hong kong last year, but i cant commit to being home (or awake) once a week at a certain time. and i never started with the show although all my girlfriends were going on and on about patrick dempsey and that very cute isaiah washington (ding dong!). but i dutifully bought the series in shenzhen last december and approximately one year later, here i am watching it.
and watching and watching. very addicting show i might add.
forget the mcdreamy bit, i adore the "nazi" and sandra oh’s character. they’re the best. and the aforementioned dr burke.
last night (mag charles, or should i call him mccharles? is in india) i started watching an episode where i woman with quints comes in. and my fluffy enjoyment of the entire episode just fizzled away to naught. 32 weeks with quints and her stomach was that small? at 26 weeks wtih triplets my stomach was close to twice that size. give me a break. and they weren’t throwing food at her at every opportunity? hardly.
the scene where her babies are born i found very unsettling. all those drs in the or. i have sometimes wondered what the or was like when our babies were delivered. delivering quints is of course a larger scale, but it probably would have been something like what the show was portraying. lift one baby out, cut cord, tie cord while intubating, into isolette run into lift. repeat times three. almost three years ago.
have i ever mentioned that i never found out how long jasper, sela and carys were when they were born? it wasn’t relevant to life saving and would have wasted precious seconds finding out, so they never told us. it was after the babies were released that we started charting their length. almost three years ago…yet it could almost be yesterday.
btw – if you haven’t been to charles’ blog to see him making sebastian’s birthday cake, please do. and you can see his rave/rum dancing as well…always a bonus. and see a very enchanted sebastian and the kids still, for once!
