I saw that epidsode and was extremely disappointed with how the producers dealt with it. The truth behind CDH was glossed over and it was made out that a simple procedure would fix the problem once and for all. I realise that the show is not a documentary and is for entertainment, but I wish that if they are going to use real diseases and conditions, that they fully investigate them and show them for what they are!
Grey's Anatomy
Six Days (Part 1)
Season 3, Episode 13
Aired January 11, 2007.
So I am watching Grey's right now and they mentioned diaphragmatic hernia. Dr Bailey's son had a bookcase fall over on him and it caused a diaphragmatic hernia. Ok so it was caused by trauma, but at least they mentioned the word diaphragmatic hernia. its a start i guess
Yeah, ADH is better than no DH at all. So at least that's twice Grey's Anatomy has mentioned DH. Kudos to them for bringing awareness!!!! :)
LOVE the photo, Kristin!
The diaphragm ripped??...I only caught the last 15 minutes...
Yes, sometimes when people are impacted extremely hard the diaphragm can rip and that's called an Acquired Diaphragmatic Hernia. This isn't uncommon with severe car accidents.
I guess the writers listened when people wrote and said "Bring the Diaphragmatic Hernia storyline back.". It wasn't exactly the way we meant to bring it back, but it's better than nothing!! Two mentions in one show - I wonder if there isn't a CDH parent on the payroll?????
I wondered what happened to Tuck. I came into the show as he was having surgery. Thanks for the update.
