"What happened to the post-op sponge?!"
"I guess we'll never know..."
Post-op sponge currently in the Bahamas after getting away with murder.
the sponge is actually the main character in the show "How to get away with murder".
With it's secret bank account in the Caymans
I heard the post-op sponge is the head writer for Greys Anatomy.
😅😆🤣😂🤣😅😆🤣
That's the real scandal.
"Then why do they keep talking about the sponge?!"
"I don't think... he's a good lawyer."

The fact that all these legal mistakes in the script could've been fixed by a first year law student says a lot about the writers not giving a shit about their show.

There's a lot of medical mistakes on this show. A medical show. Would you expect different with a law based storyline? Aha.
@@ButtonsCasey It’s unfortunate. I suppose that fans of the show generally don’t care too much about medical accuracy, but my sister took some medical classes in high school because she was a fan of the show and wanted to know if medicine was her field, and ended up realizing how inaccurate the show was.

@Bhoomi naw, she's not guilty
@Bhoomi you can't get jailed in a civil case lol, only in a criminal case. the case here was a civil case to see if the doctor was liable for damages or not, so the only verdict could be "yes she is liable for damages" or "no she is not liable for damages"
10:25 In case anyone was wondering.
@@emyyyuu Basically they tried so hard to adhere to law trends in movies, forgetting that most of those are criminal cases in the first place 😂
@@emyyyuu Objection! You can get jailed *in* a civil case, although it's true that you can't get jailed *as a result of* a civil case. But if you're in a lawsuit and refuse to hand over information to opposing counsel, the judge can hold you in civil contempt and send you to jail until you comply.
And now that sponge is driving off into the sunset having just committed the perfect crime and never getting caught.
This literally reminds me of the early days of oral implantology, we were working on patients back then with an implant designed by LEADER (well over two decades ago, very ancient design compared to their current implants) and we used them on probably over 100 patients before we realized that there was something wrong with the implant, cases of the patient suffering from sub-gingival infections, spontaneous implant failures well before their expected end-of-life operation, etc. and we later decided to compile all of our cases (while protecting patient confidentiality) to submit our findings to the manufacturer as well as the international dental community (which back then was quite difficult) and later on the phenomena was called peri-implantitis. LEADER had to recall their implants and thanks to our contract with them we were able to pay reparations to our patients and offer implant removal +bonegraft restoration to them without bringing us into bankruptcy.
we continued to work with them for a few more years after that when they released better and safer implants, but also started to use other brands from nobel biocare, alphabio, straumann, dentsply sirona, zimmer biomet, q-trinon, hi-ossen, neobiotech, etc to diversify our portfolio.
Smart. Maybe the cast of how to get away with murder should take notes.

“Objection: where is this going” is not recognized by the federal rules of the court.
This series is great.
Honestly, it's a pretty common objection. It's basically an informal way of objecting to relevance. Most judges know the rules of evidence very well and don't need lawyers to cite them the exact rule. A lot of times the attorney only needs to say objection and the judge will say sustained because it's a pretty cut and dry violation of the evidence rules. I don't really have a problem with this objection.
Arguably, it's kind of a speaking objection (which is an improper technique of making an objection and then using that opportunity to make some sort of argument or commentary about the question or testimony, sometimes as a means of telegraphing to the witness what to do next). I don't think this really gets into that territory. But Hollywood loves speaking objections in dramatic court room scenes. Basically, they love to take the closing argument and make it at all kinds of inappropriate times (eg, during the opening, during objections, while questioning the witness, or just randomly talking to the jury in the middle of the case for no reason). That is the stuff that really drives me up a wall. In terrible courtroom scenes, yes, I am that guy who is shouting out objections at the TV.
@@brendancurtin679 You sound fun to be with in courtroom dramas (I say this sincerely, because I do the same thing shouting objections to tropes and such, when it comes to my favored genres)
@@shilohmagic7173 haha. Well, thanks. Honestly, I usually bite my tongue most of the time. But if it's just my wife or parents or something, I don't. In those cases, I also don't bite my tongue about terrible screenwriting.
My wife told me I've ruined crap TV shows for her. I don't think it was just me pointing about terrible, lazy writing in crap shows she tried to get me to watch with her so much as it was her really liking shows I got her to watch with me that had, IMO, very good writing.
We would have to pause them every now and again (especially earlier episodes) for me to explain some things and also let her know what I'm thinking at that moment as to what might happen or why something might be important later, etc. I think that kind of helped her to appreciate some of the subtleties of good writing (and then notice the lack of it when she was watching some thrown-together, half-assed show on Netflix without me). And before anyone accuses me of being a mansplainer, my wife is from another country and english is not her first language. I miss way more stuff watching a show/movie in Spanish than she does in English, both because of the language and because of cultural stuff, too.
@@brendancurtin679 Very cool stuff!
Seeing a doctor and a lawyer, often mortal enemies, come together to trash a TV series, brings a tear to my eye.

Every time I've been in a hospital, I never slept. There were a plethora of people who came in every hour or less. The times I was in a teaching hospital, it seemed like there were a hundred people in my room all of the time. If I asked for a blanket, ten people wanted to know why I felt cold. It's impossible to be ignored long enough for someone's legs to turn black without anyone knowing about it
Edit: Thanks for all of the likes! ❤️
Yeah, from what Dr. Mike described, it seems like no patient would get any sleep because there just seem to be constant checks and exams and questions. So, does not seem at all believable that any symptom could get that bad before it was noticed.
@Kiara Animefan I didn't mean to come across as if I don't appreciate being checked on. I just pointed out how impossible it would be for hospital staff to miss this sort of issue based on my experiences. It's annoying, but necessary.
My mom had to be kept in the hospital for a DVT. I visited her on her fourth or fifth day (the day she was to be discharged), and only was there for a few hours. In the span of that time about 3 different health workers came in and introduced themselves to check on her and make sure she was good to leave. She literally was healthy enough to go and they still wanted to make sure she was good. I can't imagine how often they would check on someone with confirmed heart problems, an active infection, and a necrotic leg. It's ludicrous (and the reason I don't watch Grey's Anatomy).
Not at Darnell Army Medical Center. You could sit there for 30 minutes to an hour minimum, in the ER, before someone comes to check on you, usually longer. Smh
It depends on what you're in for as well. I've had a few open heart surgeries for congenital heart disease. When you first out of surgery and into the ICU there's practically always 1 if not 2 people tending to you, because if you're in the ICU you're probably in bad shape. But other parts of the hospitals watch you less frequently, but still definitely send people in to watch you.
What Dr. Mike says at 7:44 is so true. My grandma (from my mother's side) passed away due to medical negligence since two different doctors from two different facilities made mistakes, the first obviously didn't kill her but worsened her health condition, while the second one put her in a coma until she passed away on Christmas night 2018. The first doctor never said a thing to us, like, not even a word, so imagine how my mom felt knowing that she spent so much money, time, and effort to get a good doctor to help my grandma and that was all in vain. Instead, the second doctor apologized immediately and asked my mom to have her phone number so he could keep her updated, heck, he even confessed to us that he spent nights crying bc of how guilty he felt. We invited the second doctor to the funeral and we still have a good relationship with him. I personally hope that he has been able to forgive himself and that the mistake he made does not prevent him from continuing to save lives.
My paternal grandmother was killed by medical negligence. While she was hospitalized a pharmacy tech couldn't make out a prescription that had been written for her. As it was 1992 scripts were still handwritten. Rather than asking the prescribing doctor to clarify the tech took a guess what the scribble meant and guessed wrong. My grandmother was given heart medication she did not need.
Instead of admitting that someone had made a mistake the hospital attempted a cover-up. My dad's younger brother hired a local attorney to represent the family, sued the living hell out of hospital and won.
Similar story here. My grandmother was having issues with a bloot clot and they wanted to take an x-ray, but she wouldn't fit in the horizontal machine, so they tried standing her up. She had a heart attack and died. (I think. It was something like it. I was six at the time and it's been a few years since I heard the story.)
My parents said the doctors were crying when they came downstairs to apologize and my parents comforted THEM. Partly because my grandma was ready to go, but also because they were so apologetic and were willing to admit they were wrong.
I’m so sorry for you and your families loss. It warms my heart knowing you we able to forgive him, and still have a close relationship with him. Mistakes happen, but you can only learn by mistakes! ❤️
@@starsun6363 That’s not medical negligence
Sorry for your losses
And being a doctor in that position must be so hard
This is just Dr Mike being completely lost for 20 minutes while Devon is outraged by every bit of legal jargon spoken
Honestly, Dr Mike is throwing around a lot more obscure knowledge than DJ is. The dual specialization thing is worse than the "prosecution rests" WTF: most people have a clear idea of the difference between a criminal trial and a civil lawsuit (Dr Mike certainly did), but figuring out why a vascular surgeon and an orthopedist are unlikely to be the same person is... Somewhat more esoteric.
@@o0alessandro0o Well if you just think about it with less big words, they are just completely different fields
@@sleeplessdistrict3897 That is as it may be, but "thinking about it with less big words" requires enough understanding of what each of those two specialists does to explain at least their general field using the aforementioned small words.
Generally speaking, I don't think J. Random Passerby on the street can necessarily do that, at least not to such a degree that it would immediately appear unusual to them that it would be unlikely for a doctor to specialize in both.
Hence my qualification on Doctor Mike's knowledge as "somewhat more esoteric".
@@o0alessandro0o Stop tryna sound smart lmfao. Just say you are a sour grape and get on with your miserable life lmfao
@@Blinkonceifyougay You kidding? That was a reasonable and well phrased viewpoint. I think he's right too, having heard both sides. If you don't understand the big words you won't be able to paraphrase into words that a layman can understand. If you don't have a reasonably clear idea of what an orthopedist or a vascular surgeon does, you won't be able to say that they are just completely different fields. I thought both experts handled this very well. I would like to see more of this.
The sponge was a misdirect; it's meant to distract the audience. It's like how in the forensic classic series, CSI, they will show multiple possible suspects to keep the viewers asking "whodunnit???". In this case, the sponge acted as a false suspect so that the "big reveal" (that the hip itself was defective) became much more weighty.
the red herring.
Basically, just MORE bad writing.
It makes sense that's what the writers wanted to do. But it's so forced and badly written, the result doesn't make any sense whatsoever.
The jumbled up order of scenes is another red herring then about the bad writing. If the episode went in a chronological order, then it would be clear as a day that it makes zero sense for anyone to talk about the sponge in court when all of them knew that it was the faulty hip before the trial even started.
@@andrasszabo1570 Arguably leaving in the sponge could be part of a pattern of incompetence but yeah no, it really doesn't make sense.
Such a silly plot gimmick lol
"I don't think he's a good lawyer" 16:24 this part cracked me up so much

I laughed when Dr. Mike right after that put his hands to his face, laughed and was like “That’s such a problem!”
If I knew that lawyers and doctors get this handsome I would've listened to my parents.

@@lukebuchwald9252 He wasn't, he was remarking that if he had listened to his parents and went into medicine or law school, he'd turn out handsome as well. Reading comprehension is a skill you've yet to master.
I studied extremely hard and got sufficient grades that I was head hunted by top universities to enter both their legal AND their medical programs. The trouble is, once they saw me on day one they realised I was not handsome enough. I'm now a garbage man.

Remember - the PATIENT specifically asked for that brand of hip replacement and was set on that brand alone! He went into surgery knowing full and well that his surgeon had never done that exact procedure before. Post-surgical complications are very real.
💯
I’m disabled and chronically ill, the amount of times I’ve been admitted to hospital is ridiculous, they NEVER leave you alone for even an hour
I had a small operation they were checking almost every 15-20 min
idk, I spent 4 days in the hospital a few years ago for an unknown infection in my legs and I was left alone for hours at a time. I was only checked on when my I.V. needed to be checked or I was brought to a different wing to have more tests ran. There was always nurses and doctors out in the hall, if my rooms door got left open and I didn't get up to close it myself I could hear people going up and down the halls, but they rarely bothered me unless my I.V. beeped or I actually called them in.
Can u please tell me which state u live in so I can move there. When I was in NC I got left alone with what turned out to be kidney stones for so many hours that my bf had to leave me there alone, screaming, to go to work (they were not good doctors, he was not a good bf, lol). I'm talking full volume screaming like I was giving birth, nary a nurse in sight.
@@solitarelee6200 I’m from Victoria in Australia

@@akkiko amen to that!
Thats great and all, but the cardiologist was probably correct. Unless a patient is having an active STEMI and the coronary stenosis are not amenable to CABG, it is inadvisable to be placing so many stents. If the Pt has diffuse triple vessel disease, the most proximal lesions are PCI'd and the Pt. referred for CABG. If the LAD/RCA has diffuse disease with both proximal and distal lesions, there is far higher risk of restenosis, coronary artery dissection and metal burden from placing multiple stents. Most commonly, patients will have the primary culprit (e.g., the most proximal, fractional flow reducing lesion) PCI'd and the distal lesions left alone so it can be reviewed during multidisciplinary meetings with CTS. Sometimes this goes wrong and the Pt. can form a thrombosis (partly because of the PCI and previous turbulence caused by the MI which promotes clot formation on the disease) on the distal lesions and have an inferior STEMI, but this is hard to predict and it is not advisable to just be placing stents on every stenosis you can see.
@@lachyt5247I don't understand what any of that means but the point remains that showing humility and apologizing to patients if you made a mistake, or even if you don't apologize just explain where you could've gone wrong or where you misjudged and the reasons you had to misjudge, goes a long way. Of course it's not possible to predict everything or predict how a situation will devolve or evolve, etc, but talking about that honestly with patients after they've experienced negative side effects due to your care will lessen negative feelings and will help them tremendously.
Doctor: “…I guess I’m just gonna keep on getting sued because that’s who I am.”
Hospital: *begins firing process*
You know it's bad when both the doctor and the lawyer are just shaking their heads and sighing.
Yes! I remember starting this show back in HS, it seemed super interesting. But, now that I am a med student, I literally can't watch this show.

I love that this is what most of these reactions boil down to, but for some reason hearing him say it bluntly is still hilarious.
You should never do professions just for the dollah bills

"Mr. Connors, this is a preliminary hearing. There is no defendant. There is no jury. It's just me. Son, what in the hell is wrong with you?!"

@@PRubin-rh4sr You should never ask people that question unless you know them well. The reasons why someone might want to commit suicide are incredibly personal.
@@ruralmetalhead ok dont answer then.
@@PRubin-rh4srit's not usually a simple answer. When you have an illness, it messes with your thinking. You could have everything in the world going for you, but your brain chemistry makes you feel like you're worthless and will never feel better. People often just want the pain and anguish to stop and see no other way. That's why good help is crucial. And it's true that you shouldn't ask someone this question. Much too invasive. It is ok, however, to all a general question about what people who contemplate or attempt suicide deal with. Don't forget that some people deal with severe depression for many years. It's not like they have had a bad week.
@@Tracymmothe final symptom of depression tbh. And I hate that for the world and unfortunately myself.
The intent of the story appears to be that this poor doctor was unfairly put into a difficult situation and treated unfairly for it…
But the actual story is that the hospital and doctors totally were negligent and should have been found liable.
No, the doctor didn’t _cause_ the infection, but they failed to do proper post op care or treat the infection properly, resulting in the amputation, which could have been avoided.
There's so much negligence in the post op care. How was the infection allowed to spiral so badly that it led to endocarditis and sepsis and embolisms that led to him losing both his legs? Screw the sponge and the surgery, there's so many issues that frankly the hospital and doctors are negligently responsible for.
All of this to say the doctor herself is not responsible. She is not the person for post op care
Basically, the hospital should be getting sued to hell and back, but this suit was filed for the wrong reasons.
@@qelizabeth_i_5013
The named consultant for the patient (who is likely to be the operating surgeon) definitely has overall responsibility for post-op care. They should oversea it and direct it. Other people can be negligent within that team, but they should pick up on that and correct it.
Taking on that responsibility is why senior doctors get paid so much- the buck stops with them.
@@partlycloudy7707
Admittedly, infectious endocarditis caused by Pseudomonas spreading through the bloodstream from an implant is bloody rare and extremely unlucky to progress this quickly. This may not have been an avoidable amputation even with prompt and correct care with such an uncommonly aggressive infection.
But everything else is barn-door negligence by someone (this can be in part or in full the patient if they have neglected to follow proper post-op care), and as a result it cannot be said that the care did not impact the end result.
Now this is a dynamic duo
Agreed
Its a....deadly alliance...😂

I practice in Chicago, this script is a joke. The "prosecution rests" was particularly egregious.
The idea that she would have gotten off is dubious at best.
I mean, with the sponge being on the floor, if they admitted his x rays showing no sponge, admitted the information that the hip was recalled but the doctor was not properly notified, point out the patient suggested the hip and not the doctor herself, it seems she could almost completely shift the blame to the manufacturer.
I feel fof the olimpic guy, everyone who works for him do a shitty job: the medics, the nurses, the lawyer. the guy just can't get a break!
@@dinamosflams He wanted a procedure he did not medically need, he wanted that new and unknown as to long-term effects device, he wanted this procedure to solve his faulty movement that no one can garantee will actually do so, he wanted his body healed by a certain date, and he wanted it all ASAP. The Olympic guy wanted what he wanted regardless of the consequences. Well, he got consequences... bad ones, unfortunately... and the manufacturer delivering a faulty device despite knowing it was faulty is certainly the major party at fault, though, the Olympic guy shares some of that fault, too. She did very little wrong, if anything at all, once all the facts were known... and overall did many, many things right. Yet, she suffered mental and emotional distress for it all, anyway... and had her name dragged through the mud for it. 🙂

@@ElizabethAlleman middle aged patrick dempsey?
Surely if the hip was recalled, the manufacturer should have traced all orders that went out and informed the buyers of the recall.
in the episode it really is her fault. They sent her the data but never fully approved it and later sent her a letter a few months before the surgery stating that the clinical trial was being suspended due to a new infection occurring, (the same infection that led to the amputation). The letter was sent to her but she never opened it
this is all revealed at the end of the episode when she goes home after winning the case and finds the letter stating the trial was being canceled
@@anthonychaidez103 That still puts the manufacturer at fault, not her. The two experts in the video already touched on this point. Either they erroneously sent out a faulty joint (implausible considering the circumstances), or she received it before the recall and they were negligent in properly contacting the hospital. One letter is not sufficient.
@@anthonychaidez103 they're still at fault though cause all they did was send a letter. ONE letter at that. If something major like this was being recalled the manufacturer would have known where they sent them and should have contacted the hospital to let them know first then they could tell her. One single letter saying oh you know that hip you're about to use nah dont do that is not sufficient and would be considered negligent on their part
@@anthonychaidez103 dude, a letter??? What is this, victorian ages? How would anyone know where that letter ended up anyway?? Even when they shut down services when u don't pay ur bills they have to make sure u get the court's order, personally, literally in ur hands, then shut it off. And we're talking about a recalled implant... You would call the doctor, call the hospital, u'd find any way to make sure u reach her... If all they did was send a paper letter that's where those $$$$$ would be for sure...
Regarding apologies when docs mess up, my anecdotal evidence is one of my docs did not inform me of a diagnosis which had a pretty major impact. I really struggled with what to do about the whole thing. I ended up talking to him directly and his apology was so heart felt - you could tell he was embarrassed, upset at himself, and more. I believed him and continued being a patient with him because of his honesty and openness about what went wrong and how he corrected it. He performed surgery on me, and it went superbly. You can barely see the scar at this point, too. Other scars from previous docs did not heal nearly as well as this one. Not sure if he just took his time or what, but the whole thing was fantastic in the end.
yeah, that's a really good additional point. We have such a strange fetish in our society with harsh, immediate punishments. Everyone loves to talk about someone should be fired for that thing they did. But in reality, a lot of times, that person just learned a big lesson the hard way. Usually, they're not going to make that mistake again. And they're probably going to put in more work and more effort to make it right than anyone else. I mean, you have to get a sense of the person. If they are generally incompetent or extremely unmotivated, then you should probably find someone else. But at that point, that's the real reason you're letting them go. It's not a punishment for a big mistake. It's because you can't count on them to do the job.

Wait a minute. The joint was recalled from the manufacturer. If that happened, the hospital should have received a letter (due to records of sale) about the recall. The hospital then would have removed the joint from its supply and notified all staff in the orthopedic department. Therefore, the joint would not have been available to use.
What if the recall happened during the time of his surgery? IDK.. the episode was hard to follow. I couldn't tell when they sent her the letter of recall... but definitely seems the manufacturer would be at fault here too
They cover that.

It was interesting that med students are uncomfortable asking about suicide. I’ve been going to therapy and getting psychiatric help for so long it’s normal for me to sit down and answer questions like that. I guess it can be weird to people who aren’t use to it.

I find it hard to believe that they would not have even discussed the possibility of amputation. When my husband had heart surgery they went through every single thing that could happen and we even had to take classes on heart transplantation and machines he might need to be on. Thankfully he never needed those things but still, they would go above and beyond to try to prepare you for anything.
"What happened to the post-op sponge?"

Not seldom the case in Ankh-Morpork.

Or so they would say on the next day of court sessions when the second case of Smaltwig v Roundrok were in full swing.
I remember I was present for a vascular surgery where they were trying a new stent, there was literally a representative of the company there observing the whole thing and talking to the surgeons taking their notes on the product. I would assume that's pretty standard practice because it makes sense so the idea she just got her hands on this new hip replacement and no one did any follow up with her seems pretty ridiculous.
What I got, that I think they may have missed, was that the letter wasn’t from the manufacturer. The letter was from another medical institution conducting a medical trial in the procedure. So there may not be a manufacturer recall, but these other doctors discovered the problem and stopped using the hip.
Dr Mike’s Channel (A medical one): Blurs out infection site scene.
Legal Eagles Channel (A law one): Shows infection site in graphic detail.
Lol
Please tell me Dr. Mike understood why leaving a sponge would cause an infection before it seemed to dawn on him here.
@@dalpz205 I have no medical training, but I would imagine a surgical sponge would be sterilized because if not it could cause an infection even when used properly. It could host existing bacteria in the body if left behind, but more likely it would not become infected, just get attacked by the immune system as a foreign object. The hip replacement should also have been properly sterilized, so I'm not sure why either would be the first suspected cause of infection when it could have come from any material that came into contact with his incisions until they healed. Infection control in hospitals is a high priority and the hospital would have been investigating to find out what he got infected by. Nurses are not allowed to have fake nails at the hospital I work for because they discovered that bacteria could stay on them and infect patients.
@@dalpz205 sponge absorbs fluids. Fluids don't go anywhere. Fluids rot and then boom infection
@@9ZweihandeR9 Makes sense. I used to work in corporate health insurance and watched too many medical shows where a foreign object in the body is bad because the body will see as a foreign object because nothing is 100% sterile. I am not a trained doctor either but you reminded me that with the hip replacement being a foreign object they might already be giving immune suppressant drugs to accept the joint which would also help with the sponge not being a problem. Not 100% on that tho.
@@dannuman6510 That's the first thing I thought. I was just curious why it wasn't Dr. Mike's first thought. He was actually asking something to effect of why would they think it's the sponge and it caught me off guard. Isn't Dr. Mike a medical doctor and knows about foreign objects? So that's why I was asking.

"She did hours of research" But somehow missed that the artificial hip was recalled due to infections exactly like the patient's.
I remember the recall happened after the surgery.
@@kennethhwang3425 If she'd done any research, she would have seen case studies of the peterson hip. If there was enough cases of this infection to warrant a recall, she would have seen it in her research, even before the recall was sent.
In the episode, she placed all her shit in the drawer and the recall one fell.
I don’t even think it was an actual recall at that point, or at least not actually stated that it was recalled, just that the clinical trial was stopped due to numerous infectious caused by the hip.
@@erica863 I thought the whole point of a recall was that they actually got the products back that they already sold not just from a warehouse/manufacturer level but from all the customers? Surely if they know someone's going. to get this thing in them they should contact the patient (if they have that info), and the hospital not just the doctor.

One of the tricky things about being a doctor is excepting that you are human and are bound to make mistakes. But that doesn't mean when you make mistakes you won't feel guilty and blame yourself. When you make a mistake, no matter how big, you will live with it for the rest of your life. In a medical situation where someone passed away, think of how awful the surgeon/doctor would feel and how they would live knowing that their one mistake cost someone else their life. It takes a lot of bravery and courage to admit you were wrong and apologize.
On another note, I loved the video, and listening to you both trying to explain things in terms each other would understand!!

Grey's Anatomy is terrible. Unrealistic from doctor and nurse demographics/representation, to practice, to professionalism (or lack thereof). Just a horrible unappealling show.

8:30 As someone who has been suicidal in the past I can tell you for a fact that when you're in that dark place there is nothing that anyone can really say to make you feel worse; you're literally considering killing yourself. But often times there is something that the right person can say to make you feel better.
My circumstances were fortunate in a rather messed up kind of way; what drove me towards contemplating suicide was a combination of my school being god awful and making me feel like my education was never going to progress combined with people judging me because of my behaviour but not taking the time to consider the fact that I have autism combined with the belief that the world was going to end on December 21st 2012. The first two were actually pretty easy to deal with, I basically just came to the conclusion that those people I mentioned earlier were arseholes that I can try my best to avoid and then started going to a college course that would help me recap on the things my school messed up on, but the 2012 fear was one that took a little while longer; first I had to find a site that would look at the subject rationally (and boy does the internet make that difficult) and then I had to try and get both my subconscious and conscious mind to soak that information in.
Consciously I knew it was all just doomsayers on the internet pretending to be experts but subconsciously I had that constant sense of doubt in my mind that didn't go away until the 22nd of December 2012 arrived and I just felt this massive feeling of relief. In fact I was laughing because the only thing that happened on the 21st of December was rain, and as someone who lives in England I really didn't need an ancient Mayan calendar to tell me it was going to rain in December.
14:35 “An orthopedic and vascular surgeon? I’ve never heard of it.” My dad is an orthopedic hand surgeon and does a ton of microvascular work.

I understand microvascular surgery is different from vascular surgery, but they seem similar.
Another script error is that Callie never told them about the letter where the joint caused Pseudomonas but the plaintiff lawyer said at the beginning of the episode that the jury would hear words like “Pseudomonas”
@vliduu zeeb HAHA! Yes youre sure right with that one😂
@vliduu zeeb ive seen this exact comment like 3 times its so weird how many bots are in this comment section
Regardless of the letter though, they would've tested to see what bacteria was causing his infection by swabbing and culturing the bacteria so they would've known he had a pseudomonas infection!
They would still know that Pseudomonas was the cause of the infection. If they suspected a systemic infection they would be taking blood cultures and tissue samples which would then be cultured. Pseudomonas is a fast-growing gram negative rod, so they would know within a few days what caused the infection. If it showed up in the blood culture then the lab could potentially have a preliminary diagnosis within 24 hours - gram negative rods frequently turn up positive less than 24 hours after being put in the incubator, and after that standard practice at most labs (certainly a lab at a major hospital like Grey Sloane) would be to run a Biofire Blood Culture ID panel, which looks for the twelve most common causes of blood infections. Potentially less than 24 hours after the blood culture was drawn.
