Grey's Anatomy . . .

I do believe she's been down for a good half-hour, based on her rescue, the transport to the hospital and the time working on her there, but there was no way to follow the timeline to declare that she'd been in the water for a half hour.

 

I know that she's been in the water long enough that angry swarms of relatives have already gathered in the hospital demanding to know the status of their loved ones -- and that happened before she was even transported to the hospital.

She's been down for more than an hour. She's a vegetable, if she's alive at all.

 

Can we get a ruling from DocTalk on this one?

 

There is nothing to indicate that she wasn't still out there working on victims at the same time those relatives were appearing in the ER. Still no proof.

 

Also possible that she was bobbing up and down in the water like an ice cube for a little while until she finally sunk ... people on here should know better than to take storytelling literally, especially on tv ... moving around time elements create drama ... if it had been done in real time and it was only really 2 minutes we wouldn't have any buzz to talk about ...

Reality TV is especially guilty of manipulating time because otherwise there'd be no suspense.

 

Completely agree. It's to the point where I'm barely watching this episode.

Blech

 

No that was Meredith ...

Actually, I'm not as bothered by it being over the top as I am with it losing it's originality ... how many times has this been done on television ... just because they took 3 episodes to bring her back to life doesn't make it special.

 

She's Alive!!!!

 

My guess is these episodes are meant to serve two purposes: 1. sweeps and 2. give the actors some Emmy material.

We just got lost in the process.
