Default Grays Anatomy - TOS on TV

Does anyone here watch the TV show Grays Anatomy?

If you watch it, what do you think about how the show is handling the injury that Dr. Preston Burke suffered to his Brachial Plexus?

For those who don't watch, Dr. Burke is a surgeon, a top surgeon in his field (he's a cardio-thoracic surgeon I think), so he needs his hands/arms to work properly to be able to return to surgery. The injury to the brachial plexus was caused by complications from a gunshot wound and the surgery to repair the gunshot wound.

Personally, I loved the mini-fight that Dr Burke had with Dr. Yang about the recovery time and necessary PT after surgery... how he said progress is measured in months and years not weeks and days... he also said something about how success is measured (I forget exactly what he said but it was good).

So what do you all think? The injury, the surgery, the complications, the physical therapy, the tremor he currently has, etc...

Has anyone else sat there silently cheering at the TV because you realize that a friend or family member is watching the show and they might finally "get it" by watchng Dr Burke go through something similar to what you went through???

I would love to hear what everyone else thinks.... and if you haven't watched the show you might want to start watching
