The Awakening of McSleepy

In the midst of all that macho surgical bravado in Grey's Anatomy, finally a sensible anaesthesiologist shows up in Seattle Grace. And thankfully he's neither an angry drunkard killing patients nor a spineless wimp who runs screaming from the OR.

And he certainly didn't mismanage the unfortunate patient who developed awareness during the operative procedure ( despite what the hear-hysterical surgeon claimed ). FYI awareness here basically means getting up in the midst of the surgeon's slicing and dicing. Not the most pleasant experience to have, that's for sure. And one of the most terrifying events for a patient - as well as the anaesthesiologist.

But seriously, talk about Grey's giving anaesthesiologists a bad name.

Been a while since I've tuned in to the show - since not only don't I have cable here but Meredith Grey's crazy twisty whine was starting to grate. Find it hard to believe that a hunky neurosurgeon like McDreamy could remain faithful to such a wishy-washy woman. Disgusted, I've stayed away till a week ago, when I got tagged by my colleagues to catch the anaesthesiologist in action.


Our Dr Warren played by the luscious Jason George!
Not only is Dr Ben Warren the new anaesthesiologist in town, he also has the freaking balls to go after the terrifying Nazi herself. Dr Miranda Bailey. Despite the fact that she almost tore him a new one after a perceived wrong.

And did I mention Ben's smokin' hawt himself? Tall drink of hot chocolate. Yummy. Think someone out there's already tagged Ben Warren as McSleepy ( since only patented hotties with medical degrees are worthy enough of the moniker Mcs ).


At least for the meantime, Ben looks perfect. Knowing the medical soap opera that the show's turned into, I'm sure they'll soon find that Ben's either gay ( ooh la la come to papa ), secretly sired half a dozen illegitimate kids - or has some sort of rabid drug addiction.

Till that happens, I'm glad. Finally some screen time equity for this discipline, small though it may be. Now I wonder whether the other specialties in the hospital - Paediatrics / Medicine / Radiology - will find their day in the sun or do they only hire surgeons?
