Did anyone see that this week?? Where Meridith just starts v* which I
knew was going to happen and she needed surgery to stop because she had
something wrong with her...did anyone know what it was that was making
her v* because she had a problem, but what was the problem???? Im kinda
nervous about it...

I think she had appendicitis.

She had appenticitis (sp?)

What makes Meridith get sick and V* is because she has appendicitis. The only v'ing that she does through the whole show happens in the first 10 mins.
Oh, and it does actually show her v'ing, its not just sound.

Eww what is appenidcitis? and how do i prevent getting it??

Appendicitis is inflammation of the appendix. It is thought that appendicitis begins when the opening from the appendix into the cecum becomes blocked. The blockage may be due to a build-up of thick mucus within the appendix or to stool that enters the appendix from the cecum. The mucus or stool hardens, becomes rock-like, and blocks the opening. This rock is called a fecalith (literally, a rock of stool). At other times, the lymphatic tissue in the appendix may swell and block the appendix. Bacteria which normally are found within the appendix then begin to invade (infect) the wall of the appendix. The body responds to the invasion by mounting an attack on the bacteria, an attack called inflammation. (An alternative theory for the cause of appendicitis is an initial rupture of the appendix followed by spread of bacteria outside the appendix.. The cause of such a rupture is unclear, but it may relate to changes that occur in the lymphatic tissue that line the wall of the appendix.)


As far as I know there is nothing you can do to prevent it.

Appendicitis is basically an inflammation of the appendix, which is this little fingerlike extension of the intestine. Most times it needs to be removed when this happens. Not much you can do about it. Anyway, it still freaked me a little when she V*** with no real warning. But I still love the show.............</font>

It really wasn't that bad, it looks real fake, just white foam.

Heh, I posted something about v* on Grey's anatomy a few weeks ago....Those writers sure do like their v*....

[angele803]

I know! I hate this. I cant watch the show anymore. I watched it a few times and every time someone on the show would v*. So I said forget Grey's Anatomy!

[rubysoho120]

i was eating dinner when it happened...it was gross...even my bf thinks its gross...so i felt better

I swore I'd never watch a medical drama like this (Thank you, ER!) But Grey's is just too good to miss!! It's one of my favorite shows!!I usually use my sixth sense on times like that, OR, if someone has seen the episode before me,I usually ask them to warn me if there are any "v* scenes." We could start that here. We had that at the old forum, kind of a heads up to members for certain movies/films/TV shows with v* in them.
