We're BACK with an all new (albeit abbreviated) episode of Code Grey(s).

It's our first episode of the new year! We're back with our recap of Grey's Anatomy S2E13, "Begin the Begin." If you're interested in jumping to our Medical Fact of the Week (the relatively common practice of assigning gender to intersex newborns/infants), skip ahead to 44:20. Apologies for the abrupt end--we had a corrupt audio file and lost a lot of great material on The Ellen Pompeo twitterstorm of Late 2016.
We start out with some harsh words for R.E.M. fans before diving into our episode summary (02:40); is trout for breakfast sexy: y/n? (03:15); another Derek Shepherd betrayal (05:05); the compelling story of Bex, an intersex teen (08:45); Tréza's unpopular opinion: Denny sucks (22:13); and our BITS (38:35) which include a beautiful monologue by Bailey and our Medical Fact of the Week (44:20).

Thanks to all our listeners and thanks especially to Asheville, NC; 22 A Million by Bon Iver; Jim Dale; Trazodone; The Lobster; Chance the Rapper; Octavia Butler; and the inimitable Lindy West.

Welcome to another episode of Code Grey(s)! This week we're no less pissed off but we do spend less time cocooned in our anger. Instead, we talk for far too long about: Cherie Jaffe, a character who is not even in this episode nor indeed this show; our episode summary (04:44); You get a quint! You get a quint! Everybody get's a quint! Plus how Addison torpedoes Izzy's future in Peds (08:14); how the second coming of cherie jaffe helps Cristina find a piece of her missing humanity (20:42; HOT TAKES on mint chocolate chip ice cream (23:15); is Izzy's rage-stroke over Meredith warranted? (35:50); and our BITS (41:30) including our disturbing Medical Fact of the Week: the widespread use and consequences of solitary confinement (53:51).
See you next week!
