Doctor Reacts To Grey's Anatomy Bomb Episode 

The fact that this hospital hasn't been shut down over 10 years ago is the true medical drama miracle.

I love that the bomb squad consists of one guy who clearly has no idea what to do when presented with a bomb

That doctor screaming back at the lady made me laugh so hard

If I ever scream that obnoxiously in a hospital I want the doctor to scream back at me too lmao

When she says "I think I'm going to take my hand out now" and Dr. Mike yells "NO!" from the other room I laughed so uncontrollably

That anaesthesiologist - Milton - also has a well-known history of drinking on the job, including falling asleep drunk while an infant was on the table undergoing brain surgery. I wouldn't expect him to be anything other than a liability in any kind of high-stress situation.

Ongoing petition to have Dr. Mike react to Grey’s Anatomy season 6, episode 6, “I Saw What I Saw”. It’s a medical whodunnit mystery; tons of medical talking points, lots of teaching points, lots of high stakes in the episode so appropriately dramatic, and there’s not too much personal stuff getting in the way of medicine. One of my absolute favourites.

As someone who has worked with bomb squad they actually dress very casually. The reason they do this is to appear nonthreatening so people in the area around them don't panic.

this episode made me cry, seeing Meredith’s eyes as she puts her hand in the patient and Cristina’s reaction to it. It will forever kill me inside.

Couldn’t help but lol when you said “imagine you went into a doctor’s appointment and the doctor started rattling of everything that’s wrong with you without a plan.” I have several chronic illnesses and this is how most of my doctor’s appointments feel.

Always bothered me that they carried the bomb away, instead of having a containment device right on hand.

8:43 I laughed way too hard when Dr. Mike said "this is the most useless bomb squad person ever" - I agree, but I still love that episode!

Him: "I don't think missiles are legal in Seattle," Me: "I don't think they're legal anywhere,"

I think that part of this episode is that Meredith truly feels alone throughout the show, but specifically while her hand is on the bomb. Kristina has Preston to worry about her, for all she knows Derek is worrying about his wife. You stick your hand on a bomb to save lives and you realize just how alone you are when there’s no one there to risk their life for you.

About Meredith needing a medical evaluation after the bomb going off: that is EXACTLY what I thought when I first watched this episode.

The hospital I gave birth at had a "Code Baby" in the delivery rooms. Ironically it didn't mean what you think it might mean... it means the mother is becoming violent or harmful to self or other

the fear in merediths eyes shows that she was just numb. she didn’t know weather to cry or scream so she was just numb

When you realize anyone who plays “Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes” has more experience in explosives than the bomb squad guy in this episode

The main thing that has always bugged me about this episode is that only attendings seemed to know what a code black was. Everyone in the hospital should know the code colors. Same as Dr. Mike said, in the hospital I worked in we had a card on our badges that listed them.

As someone in nursing school, this channel is a gold mine. I get to enjoy my corny medical dramas while learning more about working in hospital triage.

“Everyone’s evacuated **Except for McDreamy performing BRAIN SURGERY next door**” the passive aggressiveness has me rolling 😂 “How’s the girl with the bomb?” “That’s Meredith.” “Thats ✨wifey✨” stopppp

They weren't giving her a shower. They were supporting her and removing evidence of what she just went through. No talking, no questions, just supporting her in the moment. ❣️

Such an insane show. I feel like I have to eat magic mushrooms before every episode I love it. I love how it's centered on emotion and has a complete disregard for reality. As an EMT it's very refreshing sometimes (despite feeling like I'm losing brain cells).

HE CUT OFF THE BEST PARTTTTTT right after addison hugs derek Adele tells webber “that’s not the she he was asking for”

I laughed so hard when you said “oh let’s make sure she’s clean for the next episode “😂😂

The animation of the ambulance flipping through the air sent me LOL. This pair of episodes were so ridiculous. I agree with the petition for you to watch GA Season 6 episode 6 I saw what I saw.

I love how he didn’t get Ben mention the fact that she didn’t have any gloves to begin with and then suddenly have a blood covered glove on

I laughed SO HARD when the bomb exploded and the doctor hits her head on the floor and the edit goes BONK and the little sound. I'm seriously crying from laughter

Just adding to the mountain of criticism with those 2 episodes, Here’s a few more inaccuracies that weren’t talked about: -If there is any kind of bomb squad technician on site (especially if that site is a hospital), there would 100% be a boombox there as well. A boombox is literally just a heavily armored box that, if there are no other options of disposal, gets live ordinance put in it so it can detonate without killing anyone. In this situation, a boombox would’ve been wheeled in way, WAY before the live round left the patients body. Once the live round gets removed, everyone would be told to leave the room, the bomb would be put into the boombox, the boombox would be sealed, and everyone can rejoice that their internal organs are still internal. -Every single person in that room would have some kind of body armor on. With the size of that shell, the body armor would do nothing, physically, but anything that makes the people operating on the body feel safer helps them do their jobs better, lowering the risk of a detonation. For those concerned about how sterile body armor is, two hands have been INSIDE the body. It doesn’t matter how sterile the body armor is if everyone in that room gets turned into a hashtag. If it increases the chance that everyone gets to go home and the pros outweighs the cons, it should be used. As unlikely as this situation is, if it ever did happen, these two things would be the first course of action for the responding bomb squad: Make the people operating on the body feel as safe as possible and have a plan to dispose of the bomb (and a backup plan if possible). Thank you for coming to my TedTalk.

I just love how Dr. Mike is ironic the entire episode, it gave me life

Dr. Mike should write his own med drama script.

I actually learn so much watching these, it's more gripping than the actual episode itself

Thank you, Doctor Mike. I always wondered why they still tried so hard, putting so many people at risk, to save the man's life. Your scenario of opening up the patient and securing the bomb as the first priority makes a lot more sense ethically. But then, as a Grey's Anatomy fan, even I acknowledge that not only did the show jump the shark, they blew the dang thing up with this episode.

I worked in a hospital in the kitchen and every SINGLE member of staff knows what the color codes are. That's the one thing that bothered me about Grey's. Everyone on premises gets trained about the color codes when they're hired.

i literally cried this ep. this show has made me cry more then i’m willing to admit

Ok my mother and I did laugh when Derrick gave Tuck that final hit. I didn't know it was an actual medical move. We weren't expecting it and just up and made us giggle ourselves silly from all the tension of that episode.

When I was deployed to Afghanistan in 2006, there was a soldier in our unit (10th mountain division, 2/87) that had an rpg hit him in the chest and not go off, much like this situation. The doctors were able to successfully remove the unexploded ordinance and the soldier lived.

He NEEDS to make more greys anatomy reactions they are actually so good!!

honestly as a teenager watching this show I thought that the point of it was not to be medically accurate but just to put characters in high stress situations. This was one of the scariest episodes to me and it is terrifying to think about.

It is sad when you remember that Meredith did not want to go to work that day. She thought she might die that day. I can't imagine how bad Christina would have felt in case Mer died. She made Mer come to work. Oh God no..

There was an episode of "Emergency!", where a weapon collector accidentally shot himself with a grenade launcher. They had to bring the Doctors to the scene, built enclosing walls with mattresses, and did the operation in open air. At least when they got the grenade out, they put it in a bomb container, unlike this.

you're so funny when doing commentary! love it. your knowledge on every subject medical-wise is amazing and I salute you for all the studying you've done in your past years to know all of this off the top of your head

Honestly, the fact that EMT took that long to reach a point where she ran out screaming is impressive. She did what she thought she had to do in that situation to save a life and in response she had everyone abandoning her and that shitty doctor holding the oxygen bag all but emotionally torturing her. Like, maybe at some point you'd require the other doctors to leave but you'd think the bomb squad would AT LEAST send in a bomb defusing robot or something with a monitor to have someone able to keep talking to her even if it was from a distance. And given THIS hospital's track record, I would not be surprised if instead of being given the psychological counseling she needed after the incident, she was just fired and told what a horrible EMT she was.

You should do the episode where they’re trying to decide if Meredith can keep her medical license or not

"Yeah, she just decided to CHASE THE BOMB." That part made me burst out laughing. Dear God this is a crazy hospital.

Doctor mike never fails to entertain us

This is my favorite episode. My favorite part was when Alex screamed in that lady’s face.

This guy teaches us and make us have a good time he is better than a teacher

What's bothering me the most is how terribly they're handling this bomb. In actuality, they certainly would not have had one person CARRYING IT THROUGH THE HOSPITAL. They have containment vessels where they can safely put explosives to detonate or transport them which should have been in the room. Technically not sterile, but I think that's a sacrifice that would have had to be made in order to lessen the possible damage of an explosion.

I died when he screamed back at her in 2:41 but seriously Doctor Mike brings us joy, Comedy and he helps us learn new things about the medical field.

This was the first episode of Grey's Anatomy that I ever watched and admittedly, it got me obsessed with the show. I was so tense watching it haha. These days I'd probably just yell at the tv.

I remember being in the hospital for my broken ankle recovering after surgery in my room that I stayed in for a week and I suddenly hear “code blue” over the intercom and then I see a bunch of nurses running and I’m like oh dang that’s not good

You should watch season 12 episode 9 “The sound of silence” where Meredith gets attacked and react to the terminology and how everyone reacts.

I'm literally dying at the 'bonk' funniest part of the whole episode can't believe no one's mentioned it

Fun fact the actress that plays Meredith ended up performing that stunt herself at the end because something happened to her stunt double and when she did she didn’t land correctly and actually hit the back of her head hard when she bounced back.

The code sheet you put out was really interesting. I always wondered why Cardiac arrest wasn't code red since that seemed to be a more fitting alarm to something so serious. Did not know code red was taken or that there were so many other color codes. Also can I just point out how amusing it is to see basically every color as a code and then there is "aqua" for flooding?

Those are pretty universal codes. We were attached to a Children's hospital,so our cardiac code was code 99 because the Children's Hospital used Code Blue. However,if it was an adult visiting at the Children's Hospital then Code 99 was used. Because the right size equipment needed to get to the code. Also,Code Pink was used for a missing child. But the other codes were standard nationwide.

I have a story about codes! While I was in hospital for one of my cycles of consolidation chemo, I heard an announcement one evening calling a "code gray" on another floor and requesting trained personnel. The next time the nurses came to check on me, I asked them what code gray meant. They told me it meant someone being violent.

I love your reaction, my parents are both doctors and both of them cannot watch this show ....or if they watch some pieces of randomly episode, they make big laugh by it because it's insanely how fake all that they do or use or don't do it is. you make me laugh so so much! thank you.

I laughed so hard when you said "preface that with please do not move or remove your hand" and then you say "a little late bud!" because it's so true! If it wasn't a tv show anyone would have started moving their fingers and then BOOM!

oh hell yes, this is one of those episodes with great tension if you’re invested in the series or you’re a writer. can’t wait to see you tear it down. as a narrative plot it’s quite good, but i do wish the show had a bit of a better balance between realism and drama.

I like the sound of Dr. Mike's voice when his nose is all stuffed up. It's adorable 😁

It's a shame that this didn't show how this would have realistically played out. Im generally curious about how they would handle this in real life.

In answer to your question “where is he taking the bomb?”, he was most likely headed to the bomb disposal vehicle. They tow a round shaped heavily armored containment vessel that unexploded ordnance is placed into in order to detonate it safely. The vessel sends the force of the blast directly upward, while keeping any shrapnel contained inside the vessel.

oh my goodness this video literally made my week. You're like me watching a show/movie with ridiculous storyline or situations.

i absolutely love surgeons, even when they panic they speak calmly. i've been for tons of surgeries before, and not one of them shouted or screamed ❤

Alex screaming in her face always makes me laugh. It's just so sudden and funny.

I laughed sooo hard. His reactions were amazing

3:13 I had a pt post-ablation that developed a tamponade. The attending physician was watching the senior resident meticulously gowning up to do the pericardiocentesis, and literally said “this is a situation where blood pressure trumps sterility.” Everything worked out beautifully, pt made a full recovery, but yeah… that was an unreasonably intense half hour. Tl;dr patient had a complication from a cardiac procedure and began bleeding into the space around his heart, and needed the blood drained lickety-split.

Up until 12:39 I was hooked on the situation. As soon as the "bonk" sound effect I couldn't stop laughing 😂😂🤦

I think the most unrealistic part is the anesthesiologist even being in the room at all. It would be a nurse anesthetist for sure.

That exact case has happened in the past. I recall a couple of cases at the Military Central Hospital during the Colombian armed conflict. Once, they removed a live grenade (from a grenade launcher) from the soldier's face. On a previous occasion, they removed a live rifle grenade from a soldier's leg. These cases were documented. - EDIT. This show is one of the most unrealistic medical dramas ever.

Imagine working at a hospital where ONLY a handful of doctors know what the codes are. Pure and utter chaos. Usually, a code involves more than just doctors, often including people like Security, Chaplain, and other "specialties" that vary by code.

I saw that episode as a kid and forgot how it played out but remembered it was a thing, thank you for bringing me back lol

Gotta love that you’re being entertained and taught at the same time

I’ve co-watched almost every season of this show because my sister is obsessed with it, but I swear new episodes just MANIFEST THEMSELVES because I have never heard of this one

I am a sixteen year old kid and I think I could have probably handled the panicking patient and paramedic better than the people in this drama 😅 Like, have they never interacted with anyone in any state of distress before? I have limited experience with shock, but even just deescalating friend's panic attacks gives you the sense to not yell at people or perpetuate their anxiety!

I loved the end because I was expecting a happy ending too, because I thought that the explosion would happen not at that point of episode. But what pisses me off the most is the no one but Meredith got traumatized.

I think we can all agree that Mikes content and reactions are one of a kind

Doctor Mike, on future episode videos, do you think you'd be able to tell us how the episode's scenario would be handled if it were real, in a real life hospital, at the end? I think that'd be interesting, a sort of wrap up summery that really puts into perspective how much of the episode was dramatized.

The bomb squad guy slander was cracking me up the entire time 😂😂

It’s so funny to me that Kyle Chandler is the bomb squad guy because it makes it 10x funnier how unhelpful he is. I just imagine him as Coach Taylor on his first day with the bomb squad going “I’ve been coaching football in Texas for years and years, I can’t give real advice about bombs.”

Honestly Dr. Mike is questioning a lot of good things abt the show that we don’t even recognize.

I find it much less shocking that the bomb squad is lacking people skills than i find it shocking that so many doctors lack people skills.

About 15 years ago, my husband suffered a heart attack. It wasn't one of those chest clutching, left arm hurting things. It was quiet. All he said to me was he felt sick. I asked him if his arm was hurting, he said it was tingling in his bicep. The year before he had gone to see the doctor for the nerve issue in his bicep, and he was sick as well, so the conclusion was a pinched nerve in the bicep. So, I said Let's get you up to the hospital (since it was a weekend). I asked him if he wanted me to drive, he said "Yeah, sure." So we got in, and I drove him, knowing full well that the highway was going to be full of morning traffic. Before I got onto the highway, I reached over and took his hand. I knew immediately what was going on. He was cold, clammy. I told him. "Say, could you watch my blind side please. I can't really see too good there (I had Bell's Palsy at the time, so my eye was just not working when I looked sideways). So he did that. I would ask him a few times about what he was seeing and he told me. We got onto the highway and there wasn't any morning traffic, so I slowly sped up and got him to the hospital in about 6 minutes. Got into the parking by the ER. I said, do you want a wheelchair. He looked at me in shock. I said "If you're not feeling good, I would rather you not overtax yourself and throw up." He said, nah, I'm good. I also told him "Tell them you are having chest pains." He said "But I'm not." I said "You want to get seen asap, please, tell that that." He wasn't going to but I interjected and told them that yes, he is having shortness of breath and chest pains. They got him in right away and sure enough, he was having a heart attack. He looked at me completely surprised. I gave him a hug and said "I knew it the moment I took your hand, now let them do the work." A nurse came in, and after they found his heart attack and was treating it, she turned and looked at me and said "YOU SHOULD HAVE CALLED 911!" Here I was, holding all of his things in bags, heading up to angiogram. The other nurses just looked at her and then at me. I was mad, but I said "Let's just get him upstairs, shall we?" I realized after the fact that I should have called 911 at the time, but here I was, based on what I had known before with him, but something was off and I could feel it, just not sure what. My first instinct was to get him to the hospital, which I did in good time. But the nurse made me feel like I had made the biggest mistake in my life, and doing so in front of my husband was what really upset me. I did what I had to do with what I had. I got him into the car, got him focused on something else besides himself, and got him to the ER where they stopped the heart attack. Within a half hour he was in open heart surgery with four blocked arteries on his heart. I was in the chapel when I fell apart, and all I could think of was what that nurse said and the what if's that just steamrolled me during the long wait. Needless to say, my husband recovered and he is still with me to this day!! I'm not even trained in the medical field to know such things. Mine was all instinct and based on past experiences. My life would have been so different if he had died because that nurse's words would have been in my head "You should have called 911". I do know the next time we will if it should ever happen again.

"Imagine you went into a doctor's office and doctors just rattled off every problem you have with no plan of what to do next." -- accurately sums up my experiences with pretty much every doctor I've ever seen.

Although some people consider this show very dramatic or ridiculous, this chapter really made me cry a lot. I'm sensible 😅

After watching this episode the first time, i had gotten so weirdly connected to the bomb squad guy that i cried when he died, then googled the actor so I'd feel better knowing he's okay.

I never thought a tv show can have a very dark, almost dark enough to make you start laughing ending. (And I mean that shocked laughter you get when something extremely dark happens)

Loved Dr. Mike's defusing pun😂

Burke repeatedly referring to the patient as “MY patient” one second after he walks in the room sums up his narcissistic character…I’m here for it!

Being near an oxygen main does justify moving out of the room… but as for the bomb guy carrying the bomb by hand, while I’m sure they would have cleared a path to move the bomb out and deal with it (disarming or exploding it safely), he should have had some sort of containment vessel. It was for the drama

I think Dr. Mike should react to the 2-part season 6 finale ("Sanctuary" and "Death and All His Friends") or the season 8 finale ("Flight"). There is a lot that happens in those episodes that are medical, and not just interpersonal drama.

I hate these types of medical dramas. I would have stopped watching a long time ago because it's so stupidly unrealistic. Btw thanks for pointing out and explaining the medical problems in the drama. Love your vids ^^ I hope you're happy and healthy!♥

The first mistake is thinking that any uber dramatic episode of Grey's will "have a happy ending" proves that he needs to do many more of these episodes.

The roasting of the bomb squad guy made this video perfect lol! 9:30 cracked me up so much, emotional damage!

I love how, in the table mike showed, code aqua is just: "Flood", no team response, no evacuation, just "yeah there's water, nothing we can do about it, wanna go for a swim?"

Just finished watching the "Grey's Anatomy" and "House, MD" reviews. I really enjoyed them, especially with special guests like Legal Eagle, joining in. And it's interesting the choices some made for episodes to be reviewed, and how relevant your comments could actually flow over to other medical shows, like ER, which is my favorite of the genre. Lot's of "primetime soap opera" going on, but lots of medical world connections too. The county teaching hospital environment Interactions with the "good, bad, and the ugly" of coworkers in various departments and positions. Personal interactions with coworkers you've grow close to who are going through different situations from family crisis, furthering their education in other fields, death of a close coworker, assault on a close coworker, questionable ethical decisions by coworkers, and other situations. Changes in technology, both hospital and medical related to external technology (such as the difference in the older cell phones and their impact on technology such as electric wheelchairs and pacemakers). And the evolution of technology and procedures brought about by that new technology. As well as the lack of some technology at a financially challenged hospital of the period. Changes and ethics of law relating to certain situations (HIV/AIDS medical workers, the use of organ donation by HIV patients to HIV recipient patients, and many other law situations, not just malpractice cases). Hospital disasters (a helicopter falling on the ER ambulance bay which killed a much hated doctor, a desk clerk launching a rocket into the ambulance bay (that ambulance bay got blowed up a LOT), mass shooting incident, toxic spill incident, smallpox/pox incident, and others). There is so much in that series (and I guess in others) for a medical professional to make notes about and review, just as they would be good for medical practice attorneys to review as well. I know that medical shows are typically "truncated", so a lot is left out. But I thought each show had medical consultants to evaluate what ended up on screen. Perhaps much of it is ignored since you've had a look and reviewed so much as questionable. But ER for a long period of time had Michael Crichton who you would have thought would have required more accuracy in the show. Still, if you get a chance, it would be interesting to see you look at some of the episodes. It's hard to choose one because, as you can see, some of these episodes actually have a longer arc. "Loves Labor Lost", for example, deals with the situation of a missed birth problem and the death of the mother while the baby survived, while a later episode deals with the malpractice suit. And, of course, in talking about "ugly" coworkers, there is Dr. Romano, who was very much hated and hateful, had some "good" moments, lost his arm in a helicopter incident, then had a helicopter fall on his head. The incident with Lucy and Carter being attacked, leading to Carter's drug addiction. Carter going overseas to work for "Doctors without borders" and all the incidents with that. And so many other situations to address. "The good, the bad, and the ugly" fill the show. Of course, I'd like to see a medical evaluate most of the episodes of this show and many other shows, but that's pretty much a career right there so probably not for you. Still, I thought your examination of the others series was good and really would like to see more. Thanks.

They didn't evacuate the entire hospital, only the OR floor (-Dereks team). They moved some patients to another hospital and advised everyone to leave if they didn't want to stay but the majority of the hospital staff and patients were still there which is why they had to move. It wasn't about the equipment, if the bomb exploded in the OR they originally were in the entire hospital would've blown up and everyone on the other floors would've died, not just Derek and the bombsquad

Your breakdown of this is not only informative but highly entertaining lol.
