New research has diagnosed a problem with television medical dramas. A study published Monday in the journal Trauma Surgery & Acute Care says that medical dramas — Grey’s Anatomy, specifically — “may cultivate false expectations among patients and their families” when it comes to the realities of medical care, treatment and recovery. That conclusion isn’t altogether unexpected, given that Grey’s Anatomy is notorious for its dramatic cases. Over the show’s 14-and-counting seasons, patients have accidentally swallowed bombs, been skewered by trees and poles, become encased in hardening cement and much more. Nonetheless, study author Dr. Jordan Weinberg, trauma medical director at St. Joseph’s Hospital and Medical Center in Phoenix, Az., says it’s important for both patients and physicians to be aware of the subconscious effect of medical shows. “Patient satisfaction is a big deal these days. It’s become a … [Read more...] about Grey’s Anatomy may be giving you the wrong ideas about medicine, study says

‘Anatomy’ explores the essentials of the piano
By Eric Marchese | [email protected] | Orange County RegisterFebruary 15, 2018 at 6:01 am Imagine a children’s fantasy where a boy named Will asks Santa Claus for a spaceship for Christmas, is given a piano, and tries to figure out how he can use the piano to fly to the moon. In the process, Will is drawn into an adventure that includes encounters with Bach, Beethoven and Fats Waller, whose music he plays on a concert grand piano. That’s “Anatomy of a Piano (For Beginners),” coming to Segerstrom Center Saturday, Feb. 17 and Sunday, Feb. 18. The 2015 show is the brainchild of Will Pickvance, who said he adapted it from his 2013 show “Anatomy of a Piano” that was more for general audiences. Englishman Pickvance lives in Edinburgh, storing his piano in an old veterinary college whose rooms have been converted into installation rooms and performance spaces. “I thought it would be quite nice to do a piano concert in one of these … [Read more...] about ‘Anatomy’ explores the essentials of the piano

Grey’s Anatomy recap: ‘Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger’
“Genius is 1 percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration.” So starts tonight’s episode of Grey’s Anatomy, appropriately titled, “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger.” What’s most interesting, though, is that while both the pace of the episode and the A-plot (which focuses on our favorite surgeons being as driven as the Kanye version of the Daft Punk original) absolutely match, the only song repeatedly sung throughout the night was Cabaret’s “Maybe This Time,” a bluesy number that unfurls slowly, taking its time to build to crescendo as the singer holds out hope that something good is finally going to come. It’s a stark juxtaposition between working relentlessly toward your goal and just waiting and holding out hope that your luck is going to turn. If only the story didn’t also feel like it’s in wait-and-see mode… April seems to be stuck in the middle of these two opposites as she’s unable to … [Read more...] about Grey’s Anatomy recap: ‘Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger’
