Did anyone else catch this week's episode? The character of Addison operated on a CDH baby - they only said "diaphragmatic hernia" once and didn't elaborate on what it is, but hey, every time it's said in the media is a positive thing!

I did catch last night's episode of Private Practice! I am a Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice viewer--Chris and I love to set down on watch these two shows.
I was so excited to hear "diaphragmatic hernia" and was so hoping they would have elaborated more somewhere in the show. It is a very positive thing, everytime it is mentioned in the media!!

I don't watch this show. Very exciting! My husband watches Sons of Anarchy and one of the characters had a CDH baby. At least that's what my husband told me...I kept watching the episode but I didn't catch more of a reference. I wasn't too happy that they baby was born to a crack addict.

It's a congenital heart defect on SoA, not CDH. They don't elaborate, they refer to it as the family weakness.

I saw the episode on Wednesday as well. I too was yelling at the TV and Chris came in the room asking what are you doing?!

There was a reference last season (I think or the season before...) on Grey's Anatomy too! Somebody associated with both shows must have some experience with it!
