These ARE doctors, right?

So, this is a "medical" program, right? Well then surely the "doctors" can recognize Asperger's, and act accordingly. But the way they all treat Mary McDonnell's character, makes me sick. They all look at her weird, & speak to her like she's an idiot. The fact is people with Asperger's are FAR from idiots. The writers oughta be ashamed.

Trivia
Jeffrey Dean Morgan (Denny) played ghost hunter John Winchester on Supernatural (2005). In this episode, Morgan plays the ghost of Denny as hallucinated by Dr. Stevens, played by Katherine Heigl, which has also been parodied in an episode of Supernatural.

Goofs
Dr. Virginia Dixon says that the first successful transplant surgery was performed on September 7, 1896 by Dr. Ludwig Rehn. However, the truth is that Dr. Rehn performed the world's first successful heart surgery (not transplant) on September 9, 1896.

Quotes
Dr. Cristina Yang: Hey, Pedia's julienning her skinny little chicken arms.
Dr. Cristina Yang: Still no word on what made H hitch a ride with the flying monkeys. Later!
Dr. Derek Shepherd: Translate that for me.
Dr. Meredith Grey: Lexie may be a secret cutter, and there's still no word on why Hahn quit.
