My thoughts on Alex:
Alex Karev is dead.
I dont know if this is a popular theory, but its the only one that I will believe in from now on.
In season 16, episode 16, Leave a Light on, Alex Karev leaves everyone he loves with only a letter to say goodbye. This is extremely out of character. He wouldnt leave Meredith. He wouldnt leave Jo. And definitely not for Izzie. Leaving her was one of the bravest things hes done.
Why did he leave?
I think he was dying. I think he found out he was terminal, and he crawled off into the woods to die alone.
So whats with the story?
In the 300th episode, Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story, (season 14, episode 7, Alex says he doesnt need to call Izzie to see how she is. He knows. He explains to Jo that he imagined a whole life for her where she was happy. He needed to create a world where his friends could imagine him happy. He invented a place where he could disappear and hopefully, they would miss him, but not enough to come find him. If they thought he had a whole new life full of joy, they could be content with that. He didnt want Meredith to watch another person she loves die, especially not her person. He knew Bailey would lose it if she had to see another one of her babies die.
He needed Jo mad at him so that she wouldnt look for him but also so that she could continue on with her life. In episode 17, she says that Alex will be the reason she gets out of bed. Shes pissed and she will rise. Alex knew this about her. He knew that his death would crush her, but anger at him could fuel her. He divorced her and left her with everything so that when he died, no one would have to notify her.
The only way this Alex Karev, the Alex Karev who has lived through all he has and who has grown so much since we first met him, could leave the people he loves most was if he thought it would be best for them. He (misguidedly) broke their hearts to spare them even worse. Its the only thing that makes sense.
Either that or he got kidnapped.

Like others said, ghost Denny is tumor. So it makes sense. But Karev, then they just should have killed him, instead of letting him go back to Izzie. Well maybe it would make sense when Jo almost abandoned him to keep her secret. But already they solved their problem. And Karev is not the guy who just left with letters from who he loves(Mer and Jo. We all know this.
In my case, I still don't understand why April was just disappeared. They should have explained more like Arizona.
April, she's never considered to quit doctor. She was fired twice, but she came back same place. She messed up her wedding which all paramedics and doctors of Grey Sloan attended. But she kept working in same place. When she lost her baby, she was depressed. She went army as doctor, but she came back.
However, she just got proposed from Mathew unpredictably, just quitted her job and disappeared?

The show began to be unbelievable when Izzy purposely made Denny worse to get him the heart meant for another patient whose fate we never learn because the patient who was dating his doctor despite that being so unethical she shouldve been fired then all of the interns claiming they did the organ stealing but they werent fired either when in truth, all should have been, Izzy should have lost her license, the hospital lost its accreditation for transplants, and if the other patient died then Izzy should have been sued for malpractice and wrongful death.

YOOOOOO! I know I've been out of the loop for A WHILE but. that last one. HOLY SHIT!
Yeah that really doesn't make sense. Alex was his best self when he was with Jo and with Izzy he just seemed like an adolescent trying to be an adult. I don't think he should have ended things with Jo. Just because he has kids with Izzy now doesn't mean he HAS to drop Jo in favor of them. Besides, after everything Izzy's put him through, I think he would have been better off getting to know the kids but staying committed to Jo.

What they did to Alex and Jo is unforgivable. They spent 15 seasons to reform him and 15 minutes to destroy everything they had done. They could have had him staying with his mother/sister/brother in Iowa for longer and come up with a better story. The way he disappeared suddenly without a real storyline leads me to believe there was something that went on behind the scenes that lead to his separation from the show. From what I read, it was even hard for them to get him to do the voice over for the episode.

I think Alex made up all of that and it was a lie to spare Jo from watching him suffer from schizophrenia. I think he started seeing signs of it in himself and was maybe even diagnosed and decided to move back with him mom and brother since they were dealing with the same thing. He made up the thing with Izzie so Jo wouldnt try to come find him. Hed rather her hate him than see him get any sicker.

I think Alex's ending would make sense if they had shown him and Izzie talking, their reunited, alex meeting the kids I think the ending makes sense, but it was poorly written. Izzie has always been the love of Alex's life and we can see that in several episodes, especially during his and Meredith's conversation on the grass, but that doesn't mean that he never loved Jo, of course he did!

The team spend hours trying to stabilise April because she had hypothermia. Hypothermia can make the body shut down so it appears dead, i. e no heart rhythm, but once warm the heart may start again. Hence she's not dead until she's warm and dead. You don't call death on a hypothermic patient UNTIL they're back to normal temperature and still have no heart rhythm.

As a Healthcare professional, it is possible to revive a drowning victim. She was really only underwater for 20 minutes. Even a person under for hours can still be recesitated. Now I'm not saying everyone who drowns will survive but those who do can suffer from deficits from the lack of oxygen to the brain while underwater

There is way too much that is so very inaccurate with the show sometimes it is difficult to watch. Surgeons cannot wear rings, watches, necklaces or have painted/long fingernails. Also no earrings. Interns/residents go through different services and do not change daily its weeks working ortho or peds or cardiac. .etc.

Honorable Mention: Levi and Nico's relationship being very wholesome and cute in one episode to being declared as toxic in the next. just no contex at all is given for how and why. They just suddenly are, because apparently the showrunners can't decide if they want to give Nico some depth and character or not.

I still wonder what Justin Chambers did. We all know the Greys writers wrote most people out cause of personal feuds and since Alex was just written out like that. as much as I used to ship Izzex and I havent watched the show since s12 I was still confused when I heard Alex simply left Jo out of nowhere.

The only things that dont make sense to me are the characters ages, and the fact that Bailey and Torres started off as Residents, when they very well acted like Attendings, and did solo surgeries in like their 2nd year of residency I dont know why they didnt just make them attendings.

Meredith should have the record for most unluckiest person ever. I would not want to be working in the same court as her. The amount of times she's almost escaped death and had people die around her just pisses me off how they just won't kill her already. ohhh yeah MC plot armour

I still want to believe Alex is having mental issues like his mother and left either he didnt want to hurt anyone or because in his mind he thinks the situation is real. I refuse to believe he would just up and leave Jo and Mer with no other options

#10, yeeessss. I ALWAYS say that. As someone in healthcare it bothers me how none of these doctors have clinics to follow up and you never see nurses doing the actual IVs and all the things that the other staff of the hospital typically do.

One thing Ive noticed is that in the first season youll see residents doing surgery by themselves all the time. Most of the surgeries Bailey did were without an attending, but then in later seasons residents could never do that

The episode with the Dreamer, the intern who was in the US illegally. So no official identification but she gets a medical degree? And even crazier she flies to Switzerland which requires a passport. No logic in that story

I thought Meredith moving away for a year after Derek's death, secretly having his baby without telling anyone and then just returning made very little sense to me. It felt too convenient to skip a whole chunk of time.

I feel like Ghost Denny was pretty well explained. Izzie had a brain tumor, she was hallucinating and probably masterbating the point of an hallucination is that it seems VERY real to the person experiencing it.

1) Everyone either dying or almost dying.
2) Izzie and George falling in and out of love in 2 seconds.
3) Lexies's other sister and her family never getting a mention from Lexie who loves family.

For the one where you said they take MORE TIME saving their own doctors than other patients, you completely forgot about Callie and her car crash. They spent AWHILE trying to save her and little Sofea.

Nr. 1 is so accurate, it hurts me how badly they ended this and made Alex go. It would've made sense if he died even, because it's Greys anatomy come on, but what they've done, it's just awful

Agree with everything, but the thing that makes absolutely zero sense to me is Alex's departure. they really ruined all the character development he had done in 16 seasons and the story with Jo.

Meredith must have death waiting at her door, because she has more random near death experiences than anyone that exists. Except for the guy who got struck by lightning like seven times, lol

Other than the fact that this is just a tv show does anyone notice that not only do a lot of doctors & nurses die but theyre usually accidents (car crash, plane crash, bus crash, etc?

The bomb could've been a defect. Some bombs don't automatically ignite. Also, it's a show if everything made sense it would be an EXTREMELY boring show that people wouldn't watch.
