Ever since I spilled on my keyboard, I’ve had to write from work. I was thinking about this last night as I watched the unfamiliar Grey’s Anatomy with my girlfriend and all I kept on asking was, “And who are they sleeping with?” Funny thing is that there was an answer that involved more than one person on every occasion.
It seems to me that if these doctors spent as much saving lives as they do sleeping with each other, the world would be a better place. Furthermore, I have a couple of friends in Medical School and they seem to be really, really busy, with little time form fooling around with the opposite sex. And to think, that there wouldn’t be enough drama in a hospital anyway? I imagine that a hospital has plenty of drama on its own with all that death and disease around. The occasional saved life also provides dramatic arc.
Regardless, I think that this show is just showing us, the viewer, what sex means to the progress of the human race. Even though these quasi-sexy doctors have their own problems, i.e. eating disorders and a plethora of mental health and self-worth issues, they still have the time to engage in all varietals of sex. Busy, busy, busy as Bokonon would say.
Now, I wonder what these “sexy/ horny” doctors would do if a real life problem occurred? They would most likely blame the most recent lover they had or some such nonsense and the whole show would revolve around it – kind of like how this entire column revolved around my little mishap.
Wow, I am just as bad as a “sexy” doctor. Oooo, baby.
