Doctor Reacts To Grey's Anatomy Bomb Episode 

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

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

no matter how unrealistic it was, alex screaming back at the patient will always be one of my favorite moments😭😭

I felt so bad for that emt girl. She probably wouldn't have ran if everyone around her wasn't trying scare her more. Everyone just spoke to her like she was going to die instead of comforting her.

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 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

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

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

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.

“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

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

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.

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 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

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

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.

10:29 all I can imagine is the paramedics in the ambulance going like: *Okay chest compressions!* *1* *2* *3-* *KABOOM*

"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.

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.

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.

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..

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.

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

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.

🤣🤣🤣Your reaction to the anesthesiologist leaving and the useless bombsquad was priceless. The drama is just savage

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.

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

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

The reason why the bomb squad guy wanted to move was not that the oxygen line was cut off in the room. It's that they "oxygen tanks" were underneath that floor. Which is why they needed to move "Bigger boom" otherwise.

That "bonk" after the bomb goes off caught me off guard 😂😂

“You know how this guy has a bomb in his chest? Let’s spend like half and hour doing literally nothing but freaking out the poor EMT instead of cutting open the person and removing the bomb!”

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?"

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

Honestly, this was the one time where Karev’s behavior was on point actually. Like I know it’s not very compassionate, but when someone is in shock like that and disturbing other patients, you gotta think quickly about what to do to pull the person out of emotional and mental shock. In this case, it was just screaming back in her face to cause just enough of a surprise to pull her out of her emotional state.

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.

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.

6:08 HOW. WOULD SHE NOT KNOW WHAT THAT CODE MEANS. i was a regular at a hospital for years and by year one i knew every single code. Even now i know most of them. And i was a PATIENT

the hilarious thing is that this whole episode falls apart when you realize that HEAT rounds (because that's what Bazookas fire) do not explode like a grenade, instead they require hitting a hard surface to set off a fuse that then shoots out a jet of superheated metal into the target gotta love ABC writing team at times

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!

you have to watch the episode about the shooting in the hospital!

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

I love that you just don't laugh at the crazy situations but seriously tell your opinion. And your compassion for your patients are so clear in your videos. You're in the right profession. 🙂

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

Dr. Mike should write his own med drama script.

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.

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 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.

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.

8:50 “i swear if i was there, with ZERO bomb experience-“ literally every single one of us watching greys anatomy

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

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

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.

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.

I don't know why this is such a great episode. I just keep rewatching it if im bored cause this is always sooooooo good.

One thing I found very odd and dissatisfying about this episode was the end. Sure Meredith was traumatized but as soon as the bomb exploded nothing was said about the bomb squad, if I remember correctly. They didn't say if they all died or if there were any survivors. As far as the storyline was concerned they ceased to exist, no joke intended.

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!

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.

12:21 at this point he might as well just throw it in the dustbin

"I think I'm gonna take my hand out now" No one: Not even the doctors: Dr Mike, not even on camera: "NO!"

I took care of an elderly dementia patient and the only way we were allowed in his house was if we screamed at the top of our lungs when we got into the door. For some reason he thought imposters would never know to scream. So sometimes, you do have to scream as a medical professional hahahaha

“Oh we should just clean her for the next episode” that made me laugh more than it should have 😂

There's a series called Outlander where the protagonist is a doctor and there are many scenes where she practises, you could react to those too! My mother is a big fan of it and believes literally everything that has to do with medicine in it.

EMT here. It's rare, but there have been times where sticking your finger into a wound to put pressure directly on the bleeding has been done and it was the best option at the time. Where they messed up in the show was one, the doctor wouldn't have berated her for doing it because again, it has happened and it has saved lives, and two, they would NOT have brought her into the OR. They typically have surgeons right there in the ER to perform an emergency procedure (in my area our main hospital is a level 1 trauma center so that's normal for us at least). I've had a medic partner who was brought into the ER with his finger in a wound, the surgeon stood at the ready, partner removed his finger, and the surgeon went straight in and started repairing the wound. I assume the OR comes later for a more precise, sterile procedure after the initial life-saving "quick fix" so to speak.

"I expected this to have a happy ending" can only come from someone that hasn't watched enough episodes of Grey's 🤣

This episode of Grey's is old, like over 10 years old! I remember this episode when it was still on primetime way before streaming even started. This is the episode that made me like the show even more.

Favorite part: “It’s a medical drama miracle!” Lol the way you said it and facial expressions were so funny

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

This episode is so DRAMATIC

the screaming at the bystander killed me, as a paramedic we obv dont do that, but seeing how horrible ''patients'' get thrown out of the hospital by screaming security brightens my day (not saying the women in the series was horrible!!)

Imagine the bill coming to that guy, how much would the Hospital charge for bomb removal?

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.

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

This cracked me up. Loved your commentary

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.

Someone probably addressed this already, but wasn’t the bigger issue that if the bomb went off in the OR they were in (above the main oxygen line) it may have ignited the entire floor and continued to spread throughout the hospital??

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

at 1:48 I like how the makeshift tourniquet has a windlass but I don't know if a pen would work, but it is much better than a belt

If you think about this situation ethically, everyone has the right to live, so while you should try to save him, if he’s already dying and there’s no saving him you should save the other peoples lives. This makes sense logically too, if you can save more lives by handling the bomb instead of the patient then it would make sense for you to handle the bomb and then maybe if he’s somehow still alive try to save him

At 12:38 the stunt double actually suffered a concussion and was taken to the ER, so Ellen Pompeo had to film that sequence herself as well. They ended up using the real accident in the show

This is why this is my favorite season and episode

XD Dr Mike, you had me dying about the bomb squad guy, you're so savage lol. Also seeing your response to "that's his current wife" was just the best grandpa vibes ever XD

13:18 She's,at the very least,deaf and concussed. I remember being concussed from a primer going off in the close proximity to me and SHE HAD A MISSILE GO OFF A FEW METER AWAY FROM HER,AND IT KILLED TWO PEOPLE BY TURNING THEM TO DUST

*"I've got kids"* Wow that's savage lol. At the very least we know he's a good dad to his kids 8:18 Boooo! Bad pun, well at least Dr. Mike is having a _blast_ 😂

I have been laughing continuously through your (Doctor Mike’s) commentary of this episode.

I’m happy that you’re explaining these things cause I would never know what these mean 😅😅😅

"I expected this to have a happy ending" 12:30 you clearly haven't watched enough Grey's Anatomy yet 😅😂😭

9:40 EmOtInAl DaMaGe

Only recently discovered this channel but peewoop still makes my day!

These videos remind me of my youth! lol I was in the Army in the mid to late 90s, an x-ray tech. I lived in the student barracks at Walter Reed with nursing and lab and OR students. We'd gather in the day room each week to watch ER. We'd TRY to keep our mouths shut... but we couldn't help ourselves. Not 5 minutes in someone would start and then it was game on to call out every error we saw. But ER was no near as bad as Grey's. God, we'd have had so much fun with this show!

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

"Imagine a doctor rattling off everything wrong with you without saying what they are going to do to fix it - not a very good dr visit" umm how are you describing my visit yesterday so perfectly?

the part when Karev screams back at the patient is my favorite part of the entire show

At 5:51! I actually learned that from my 6th grade science teacher! That was a very fun lesson, she explained how oxygen fuels fire and is the reason some of us may get a little light headed, or feel as though it's harder to breathe when we're close to a (controlled) fire. (That's what she taught us at least)

12:06 "is he gonna ROCKET to sleep?" Lmao, I'll see myself out 😁

7:30 Mike: That's savage. OMG. Inner Mike: I need a drink.

The bomb squad guy slander was cracking me up the entire 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

Mike: "Why is she chasing it" Me: "She wants to see if it goes off or not" Also me: wasn't expecting that
