How Grey’s Anatomy Helped Save This Woman’s Life
How Grey’s Anatomy Helped Save This Woman’s Life – Watching TV can do a lot of things for viewers. TV entertains, breaks our hearts, makes us laugh and for some, even saves lives.
One Grey’s Anatomy viewer said the Shonda Rhimes series helped save hers.
Roughly two years ago, Sarit Fishbaine said she decided to see a breast specialist in Israel. Fishbaine said, “I was watching Grey’s Anatomy, one of my favorite television shows. In the episode, a young mom arrives at Seattle Grace Hospital for a mastectomy after her breast cancer had been mistaken for milk collecting in her breast.
“I couldn’t fall asleep that night — it felt like a huge warning sign. I had stopped nursing a few months prior and my breast tissue had softened up, but there was definitely a lump on my left breast.”
She went to see another specialist for a second opinion and the results: stage III breast cancer that had also spread to her lymph nodes. Fishbaine is now cancer-free. Rhimes shared the story on her Facebook page with a simple caption: “Humbling.”
