Gaining an education from Media

Alright so I haven't necessarily 'gained my education' through media necessarily but I do think it is still something that can be very educational.  

My husband and I started Grey's Anatomy about a month ago

and we have completely sold our every night to watching at least 2 episodes.  

So addicted. 


However aside from it being highly entertaining and a crazy addicting television show, I am actually gaining some medical knowledge 

"some" is the key word.  not saying i'm ready to perform surgery on anyone just yet...

Now unfortunately I can't remember details of this specific example very well but I had a family member over to our house the other day and something health related came up as a topic of discussion and a question was asked

this is a horrible story... I know... bare with my lack of memory for a bit 

I was able to recall something I had heard on Grey's anatomy and knew the answer to whatever medical related question was being asked! 

So aside from the lack of memory and details, it's kind of funny the things we learn from media

whether they are true or not

again, not saying whatever Grey's Anatomy says is the 'end all' but I do think they keep it fairly anatomically and medically accurate and someone can learn very basic things if they actively watch. 

That is all
