The Meaning Behind it All
Hey guys welcome back to the blog with your favorite blogger, Noelle. Today we are going to talk about Grey's Anatomy and the episode of "I want a new drug." This episode in particular has highlighted modern day issues such as addiction. As this crowd of people come into this hospital, all suffering of an overdose, it represents the amount of people who suffer from addiction yet are not given the proper help or care but are suffering in silence due to the wall the society has put up around this disease. this message is all being portrayed throughout this hospital as they cannot help everyone, the huge crowd of people come in and there are people who look completely normal, although they are really suffering. there is also a stigma around this disease of addiction that it portrayed as the wife of someone is suffering, but the father just becomes angry and hateful towards her rather than seeing that she needs help and medical treatment. This episode of Grey's Anatomy can be found in season 15 episode 1,if you would like to watch it to get a better understanding as to what I am talking about, but you do not need to. 
I have personally seen this episode and I agree with all of the major points that you are saying. I would also like to add that this show does not only show one side of addiciton, but it shows the multiple forms of addcition and how it affects others around you. Like for example, when the mother came in because she had lost her son in the park. She was addicted but it was not seen at first by her original symptoms. This help show the public how many forms and looks of addiciton are out there. I think this is a great way of informing the public of the dangers of addiction and all of the consequences that can happen because of it. I also agree that this show does a good job on using its platform for a greater good of awareness, so the public can be informed.
