I was gonna put this in my queue but tbh I think it’s more relevant right now.
Yeah.
For the record: George wasn’t saying “I would’ve purposefully let you die on the operating table.” He was one of the few doctors willing to perform the surgery, but was nowhere close to qualified to do it alone. He was still an intern in the surgical program, and inexperienced in the procedure.
Dr. Bailey was his teacher, and one of the most well trained general surgeons there. She was disgusted with the patient, for his behavior to both the non-white staff, but also the women. When the patients vitals started going south, she pushed George out of the way and completed the surgery, despite the hate.
Without Dr Bailey sacrificing her personal reservations, the patient would’ve died. She is a strong black woman who didn’t hesitate to save this patients life, as she believes in doing no harm, even when the patient doesn’t deserve her assistance.
George is only ensuring that the patient is aware of just how lucky he is that a woman like Miranda Bailey was there, especially when he specified he only wanted a white man to help him.
He’s trying to say “consider yourself lucky she was there, or else you wouldn’t be alive” not “I would’ve killed you and felt no remorse.”
^^^THANK YOU!! For all the people like “doctor’s take an oath blah blah blah” thats not what he was saying🙄
American Children: Hey, can we be murdered a little less please?
Republicans: What the fuck? What about my guns? What about me, a person innocently playing with my death-machines as a hobby? I am the real victim here. Kids these days are so entitled…
