Over the course of its nearly two-decade run, Grey’s Anatomy has offered up its fair share of medical scenes that are totally inaccurate. Even though ABC's long-running medical drama aims to raise awareness of real-world issues, from institutionalized racism to the barriers complicating gender-affirming care, it sometimes favors heightening the stakes over all else. Understandably, creator Shonda Rhimes and her team prioritize making great, dramatic television over medical accuracy – a tactic that's led to all 19 seasons of Grey's Anatomy being incredibly memorable.
