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.
@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"
@@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.
well too bad mate, Ima bout to do it "We're ready for surgery. *reading* Heh.... Groin surgery... *normal volume* Alright everyone, let's dig in." In the worst possible way.
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.
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. You can't even imagine the number of times I saw illogical things in Grey's anatomy (I mean, illogical things when it comes to medicine). So yeah, after seeing how a Doctor and a Lawyer reacted, I am pretty sure I wasn't wrong when I thought that it's really bad, haha.
@@CHEFPKR Trash man, trash taste ;D I think I've seen you elsewhere as well, other than your channel of course! xD As you somewhat like food, I'll give a snack tip; non-sweet peanut butter, with carrot and pear "sticks" It's easy to eat too much of the butter so keep an eye on how much you have eaten, change into quark after eating enough butter. Easy, healthy and fast snack Edit: I don't know if quark is the accurate translation but in Finnish it's called "maitorahka"
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.
@@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.
@Doctor Mike huh i think thats the first time i saw a fake doctor mike, usually bot accounts pick someone more famous to pretend to be. You sure your not Justin Beiber or John F. Kennedy?
The actual answer is "I don't think this is a very good show" and "I don't think these are very good writers." Grey's Anatomy is such garbage - the fact it's been on forever is ridiculous.
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.
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.

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.
This collab absolutely HAS to occur again. I will hear no objection. The best part is when you gasped at the writers not doing their research at all to know that a plaintiff's lawyer doesn't say "the prosecution rests". 🤣
Yeah, this is one of their best episodes for each. It's awesome seeing two highly knowledgeable professionals in different fields, each having a degree of charisma, collab for a video where there's plenty of opportunity to display their unique knowledge. A+
Agreed! There's so much media out there that deals with medical and legal stuff, this collab should totally be a regular occurrence. So educational and entertaining, def a win/win
There's a King of the Hill episode that does involve medical and legal scenes (the one where Hank accidentally cuts Dale's finger and ends up going to court for that).
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! ❤️
"The prosecution rests, your Honor." "Uh... Counselor? Are you sure you're in the right courtroom?" "Yes, your Honor." "... This is _civil_ court. There is no prosecutor here, counselor." "That's not what the jury thinks." "Should I send you back to law school, counselor?" "Not as long as the writers are illiterate about the law."
Reminds me of Catch Me If You Can: "... Your Honor, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, this is irrefutable evidence that the defendant is, in fact, lying." "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?!"
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
@@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...
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.
It is understandable for patient to be ignorant, it would still be negligent if the doctor knows it’s not in the best interest of the patient but still goes with their wish, fully knowing it’s detrimental
Mike: So, why do they keep talking about the sponge if it was never in the patient? Devin: I don't think he's a good lawyer. I don't know why but that is the most real and hilarious thing said in this video!
@@alioh7615 : I can't remember him calling himself by his real name, so it's fair. I still don't know it. It'd be like if Dr. Mike always started his videos identifying himself as, "McStuffins," or whatever his fan girls call him, LOL.
I love how often they switch between “this is the most negligent doctor ever, I would be a billionaire if I was a lawyer” and “she didn’t do anything wrong though???”
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
well according to Dr Mike it was the magic sponge it entered in from one side curved downward came out in an opposite direction maybe went back in and went out the other end 😅
My mom 2 years back, had 2 stints put near her heart, a week later she had a heart attack. She is fine but the Dr. can to her in tears talking how he made a mistake and should've put in 4. She said well, looks like you need to put in 2 more, huh? Him apologizing like that made a huge difference.
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.
@@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.
@@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.
I'd love to see you team up with Cinema Therapy. A lawyer, a therapist, & a filmmaker might be too many people, but it would be awesome to see a long form reaction from you all.
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.
Not seldom the case in Ankh-Morpork. Sometimes 'auxiliary lawyers' get brought in to help with the settling, which is to say that they help redistribute whatever dust is found on the court steps and ensure a nice even spread amond the tiles, your honour. Or so they would say on the next day of court sessions when the second case of Smaltwig v Roundrok were in full swing.
@@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.
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.
"I don't think he's a good lawyer." 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.
I love seeing these two being interested in the other side and asking each other questions the other knows the answers to. I certainly learned a few things from this. Their review of the episode was great, the actual episode though, not so great.
@@reality6880 I think he was sad because he was super confused about how they were portraying the medical side of things. I'm sure as a doctor this episode hurt to watch.
I'd just LOVE to be a juror, spend days listening in a court, try to understand the case, deliberate for hours, to be told five minutes before reaching a verdict "That's OK, you won't be needed after all, they made a deal".
I was just thinking that. When Devin said that, all I could think was "holy shit! those jurors must have been pissed!". So many hours that they had to take off from work, or to do anything else all gone. I'd never want to be a juror again, and you can bet for sure that if I get called for another similar case I am going to be biased as hell.

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”
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.
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.
@@qelizabeth_i 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.
I can't with these two. They're handsome, well-dressed, has respectable day jobs, knowledgeable, and they fricking care about society. So much accomplishment you can't help but admire them.
Guys there's another malpractice case that's even more baffling than this one...it's season 16 episode 8 where a panelist literally dies in the middle of the medical board hearing..you both should definitely check that out!
That wasn't exactly malpractice, that was the medical board reviewing on whether or not she got to keep her medical license. The Dr who was also the same Dr that neglected to save Derek's life by ordering a CT started seizing during the hearing and died later on the operating table.......I've watched grey's anatomy too many times lol
If you're doing a collab again with Dr Mike : ER season 13 has a great malpractice case. Forest Whitaker was cast as the patient and he won an award for his performance.
They need to do some House MD eps together. Ik mike has done some for House on his own, but there’s some good court malpractice cases on the show too that would be interesting to hear a lawyer side.
The cutest thing about this video is the fact that a doctor and a lawyer the smartest ppl I can think of are so cute a surprised and willing to appreciate each other and how smart the other person is
There was also a little legal trouble after Alex attacked Deluca then there was the big custody battle between Callie and Arizona that involved a lawyer and court hearing
I love how when Legal said “A lawyer at the top of their field” they cut to a stock image of a surgeon instead of a doctor on the show just to add an extra diss.
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.
I love how they immediately notice all these legal/medical issues with the story. It’s almost like they are educated and experienced in law/healthcare:D

The other thing with the recall is that the company representative from the hip company wouldn't have even showed up for surgery because he would have known the hip was recalled. Why didn't anyone even talk about that?

Y'all I loved this! Our Legal Eagle's utter frustration with the plaintiff's lawyer at 4:55 to 5:30 was palpable ("Object!"), and I couldn't help but sympathize while I laughed. And that gasp at 10:24 was absolutely fabulous. Devin owned this one... right up to the end, when Dr. Mike swooped in to slam dunk Grey's with the (absolutely correct) grade. Good show, guys!
To be fair, I don't know anyone who doesn't get annoyed with this show. I gave up after the first episode where a senior doctor says to a new doctor "welcome to the game" after she had been through a stressful experience. WHO TALKS LIKE THAT!?
There's also an argument that can be made by the defense that his snowboarding career wouldn't be damaged that badly based on the success of Amy Purdy: a double leg amputee and world-class Paralympic medalist in snowboarding.
I'm pretty sure the stuff Amy Purdy can do with the Paralympics is only possible because she still has the joint right? Like her amputation was below the knee.
someone make a feature-length movie about these two searching for the grey's anatomy sponge as a B plot while the A plot is them solving legal-medical mysteries
yes, but SHE is the medical expert. she is the one to decide what to do and which hip to use, the patiant doesn't have the knowledge wheather it's the right hip or not. either she agrees to use that specific hip (than she has to Research it and learn how to install it), convince him of using a different one, or she doesn't do the Operation and maybe even help find a doctor who is used to the hip
I still don’t think she would have been able to order it if that were the case unless preorder. As far as realistically but these shows are really just dramas and not accurate reflections, they could have at least did some research but I am fairly sure they knew it would be popular and well funded regardless
@@Shastasnow Dr Mike said that the manufacturer even sends someone to assist with the actual surgery, so I would think even in preorder case, the representative would know the hip is defective and they would abort the surgery.
The problem is that she agreed to perform the surgery. There is no obligation for a surgeon to perform an elective surgery like this when they do not feel that they are [1.] capable and qualified to perform the surgery, which she was not at the beginning of that discussion, but talked herself into performing for some reason, and [2.] they feel it is not in the patient's best interest to perform the requested surgery. This will likely not prevent the patient from receiving their desired surgery, but you will be absolving yourself of liability by refusing to take on the case. There is more gray area when dealing with actual emergency cases that present in the ICU or ER, wherein you don't have the time to be selective. This is not one of those circumstances. She should have maintained her position and refused to perform the surgery with that joint or entirely. Also, they have some pretty shoddy nurses assisting in surgery if none of them bothered to keep track of the sponges until the final equipment count.
I started laughing when the lawyer said prosecution, "That's like getting your name wrong." Priceless 👌🏻 Side note: I'm glad Dr. Mike promoted asking patients if they're having thoughts to kill themselves. Sometimes, even experienced therapists feel uncomfortable asking for the reason he mentioned. But, asking is the number 1 way to prevent suicide.
I'm not suicidal, but I do think asking "Do you have any suicidal thought" to real suicidal patients would get them to re-think their decision. Like, if you act uncomfortable around it, it would make them feel alienated and fall deeper into their despair, but if you *ask* them, you indirectly made them feel that their case might not be THAT bizarre (wanting to die), and they might be able to get help.
@@rachelciel3330 As a suicidal person, I agree, I think it normalizes it. When my psychiatrist asked me that, I thought "Yeah, it makes sense for him to wonder that given what I've told him", I didn't think "oh, that reminds me to schedule my suicide for next week!" and obviously he didn't freak out or anything, which also made me feel calmer and not like I was a freak. So yes, you nailed it, at least in my opinion.
I think suicidal thoughts have too much of a stigma. It's important to be able to talk about this. I forgot where I heard this but I heard someone mention that suicidal people usually don't want to die, they want the pain to stop.
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.
@@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. 🙂

I remember this episode very clearly because of the moment when the limitation of the English language is used against Torres, she says ‘I’m sorry’ but not in the meaning that she did something wrong and regrets it, but in the meaning that she feels bad for all he’s been through. In Portuguese, we have different ways to say these two things (‘me desculpe’ and ‘sinto muito’) that would have made the difference to avoid this misconception
@@dangerbellona6572 usually (but not always) if you say “me desculpe” it means you did something you regret, so if a doctor says it could be understood as an admitting fault, while ‘sinto muito’ just means that you feel bad for whatever happened (you can even say it for when someone’s died, for example, meaning the same as ‘I’m sorry for your lost’ in English. In this situation you have nothing to do with the dead, you’re just saying your sad for the person)
Yeah it's a bit of a short failing that there's no distinction between an expression of sympathy "I'm sorry this happened," and one of remorse "I'm sorry I did this,"

That's what happens when experts aren't involved either in the writing or the shooting of an episode, OR either the producers and/or director chooses to ignore the expert's advice for the sake of drama (AKA "Artistic License").
Experts are definitely involved, the directors or producers will usually twist or not follow their advice because the truth isn't very flashy or dramatic enough. To give them credit real life is often boring and tedious, so often times it's necessary to play up scenes.

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.

Seeing a doctor and a lawyer, often mortal enemies, come together to trash a TV series, brings a tear to my eye.
It's a pretty bad sign when a TV show can be totally trashed from two different professional angles
@@lukebuchwald9252 Writers: Allow us to introduce ourselves
Now imagine if you had an engineer there, the trifecta is complete

Why are a doctor and a lawyer often mortal enemies? Their job isn't directly opposing each other, so I don't get it
“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)

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.

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.

Does anyone get to know what the verdict was after a settlement is reached other than the judge?
Edit: In real life.
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! ❤️

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.

@@anthonychaidez103 they're still at fault though cause all they did was send a letter. ONE letter at that.

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

@@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.
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.

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.

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.

But if it's a right for anyone to have a jury of peers anytime there's a petty disagreement over something, that means it's also a duty for everyone to be available to be a juror to sort out a stranger's problems. I'm not sure it's a duty every American citizen relishes or looks forward to.

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.
@@youngski249 you should report the comment, and even the user. I did so
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
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.
Would love to see a reaction to the Grey’s Anatomy episode “Mama Tried” about a custody battle of this doctor and her ex wife over their child.

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.

@@tudornaconecinii3609 that’s probably fair, but Dr. Mike did say there was no real reason to amputate above the knee. So it’s just bad writing XD
@@dontknowme180 Yup
That would be a difficult point to try to make to the jury. Can you imagine: "it's not _thaaaat_ bad: people have snowboarded without legs before!"
I remember feeling this hyped in 2012, when Iron Man and Captain America first appeared onscreen together.
God it was 2012
"Why would they talk about the sponge still?"
"I don't think he is a good lawyer"
😂😂
someone make a feature-length movie about these two searching for the grey's anatomy sponge as a B plot while the A plot is them solving legal-medical mysteries
And they need a romance on the level of House and Wilson.
I'd like to add SHE didn't recommend the specific hip joint the patient specifically asked her to use that joint. So kinda his fault too.
yes, but SHE is the medical expert. she is the one to decide what to do and which hip to use, the patiant doesn't have the knowledge wheather it's the right hip or not. either she agrees to use that specific hip (than she has to Research it and learn how to install it), convince him of using a different one, or she doesn't do the Operation and maybe even help find a doctor who is used to the hip
@@sauleiwanderapfelstrudel yes I know that. But they were acting like it was her idea to use that specific hip.
I still don’t think she would have been able to order it if that were the case unless preorder. As far as realistically but these shows are really just dramas and not accurate reflections, they could have at least did some research but I am fairly sure they knew it would be popular and well funded regardless
@@Shastasnow Dr Mike said that the manufacturer even sends someone to assist with the actual surgery, so I would think even in preorder case, the representative would know the hip is defective and they would abort the surgery.
The problem is that she agreed to perform the surgery. There is no obligation for a surgeon to perform an elective surgery like this when they do not feel that they are [1.] capable and qualified to perform the surgery, which she was not at the beginning of that discussion, but talked herself into performing for some reason, and [2.] they feel it is not in the patient's best interest to perform the requested surgery. This will likely not prevent the patient from receiving their desired surgery, but you will be absolving yourself of liability by refusing to take on the case. There is more gray area when dealing with actual emergency cases that present in the ICU or ER, wherein you don't have the time to be selective. This is not one of those circumstances. She should have maintained her position and refused to perform the surgery with that joint or entirely. Also, they have some pretty shoddy nurses assisting in surgery if none of them bothered to keep track of the sponges until the final equipment count.
I started laughing when the lawyer said prosecution, "That's like getting your name wrong." Priceless 👌🏻
Side note: I'm glad Dr. Mike promoted asking patients if they're having thoughts to kill themselves. Sometimes, even experienced therapists feel uncomfortable asking for the reason he mentioned. But, asking is the number 1 way to prevent suicide.
I'm not suicidal, but I do think asking "Do you have any suicidal thought" to real suicidal patients would get them to re-think their decision. Like, if you act uncomfortable around it, it would make them feel alienated and fall deeper into their despair, but if you *ask* them, you indirectly made them feel that their case might not be THAT bizarre (wanting to die), and they might be able to get help.
@@rachelciel3330 As a suicidal person, I agree, I think it normalizes it. When my psychiatrist asked me that, I thought "Yeah, it makes sense for him to wonder that given what I've told him", I didn't think "oh, that reminds me to schedule my suicide for next week!" and obviously he didn't freak out or anything, which also made me feel calmer and not like I was a freak.
So yes, you nailed it, at least in my opinion.
I'm looking to join that field when I get old enough to do that.
I think suicidal thoughts have too much of a stigma. It's important to be able to talk about this.
I forgot where I heard this but I heard someone mention that suicidal people usually don't want to die, they want the pain to stop.
I haven't been to a Dr since like 2005 without getting asked that.
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. 🙂
@@dinamosflams his lawyer in reality would of lost his case for him , he was badgering his own client and the defendant and as Devin said what questions did he ask ??
@@aferrelll except that apparently no one noticed his legs turn gangrenous until they were basically falling off which shouldn’t happen and if they notice that early enough they would be able to prevent or alteast keep the damage from getting worse which would have meant he would be able to snowboard again
You should have doctor Mike react to the "I'm not a cat" to confirm if, medically speaking, the person in question was a cat or not.
That’s not a Dr. question, it’s a vet question. Maybe they should add Dr. Evan Antin for a consult?
@@edingerc or Helpful Vancouver Vet that dude is a treasure
@@Finkeldinken SQUISHTHATCAT
I've watched the video and he 💯 % was a cat.

I remember this episode very clearly because of the moment when the limitation of the English language is used against Torres, she says ‘I’m sorry’ but not in the meaning that she did something wrong and regrets it, but in the meaning that she feels bad for all he’s been through. In Portuguese, we have different ways to say these two things (‘me desculpe’ and ‘sinto muito’) that would have made the difference to avoid this misconception
please, which one is the one that admitting fault?
@@dangerbellona6572 usually (but not always) if you say “me desculpe” it means you did something you regret, so if a doctor says it could be understood as an admitting fault, while ‘sinto muito’ just means that you feel bad for whatever happened (you can even say it for when someone’s died, for example, meaning the same as ‘I’m sorry for your lost’ in English. In this situation you have nothing to do with the dead, you’re just saying your sad for the person)
Yeah portuguese is great
I wonder what the origin of “sorry” is? Was it originally meant for regret of your actions or to show sympathy?
Yeah it's a bit of a short failing that there's no distinction between an expression of sympathy "I'm sorry this happened," and one of remorse "I'm sorry I did this,"
The universe cannot handle the meeting of these two super powers.
I am thinking about dropping out of school to focus on my career as a star on RUclips. I already make a lot of money on RUclips. School bores me so much. I need more opinions and since I don't have any friends, I gotta ask you, lon
@@AxxLAfriku Wut.
@@AxxLAfriku don’t do that. This is not the future. Get your ass back in school or join the military.. trust me you’ll loose more money and time trying to be a yt. However if you get a actual source of money via careers from schooling and or military. Making a RUclips channel can be nice hobby that your life isn’t dependent on.
I’m sure you are younger.. but you need a follow first as well.
@@AxxLAfriku because telling people about your RUclips channel in the comments won’t help anyone and is honestly sad. Do something first then advertise.. just saying peace
@@AxxLAfriku dude, you can keep RUclips as a hobby but never make it as your main source of money. You can start business based on hobbies u like. Like, example, if you like photography do some paid shoots etc.
I love these two together. Separately they're great but together, I love their chemistry, they bounce off each other so well
That's what happens when experts aren't involved either in the writing or the shooting of an episode, OR either the producers and/or director chooses to ignore the expert's advice for the sake of drama (AKA "Artistic License").
There are usually lots of experts involved in the writing of big shows like this, so it´s normally really the producers fault.
Experts are definitely involved, the directors or producers will usually twist or not follow their advice because the truth isn't very flashy or dramatic enough. To give them credit real life is often boring and tedious, so often times it's necessary to play up scenes.
