If we all visit the hospital at least once in our lifetimes, why don’t we care more about them?

Greg’s Anatomy was a satirical but sharp criticism of public and private healthcare, and illuminated the systemic dangers and neglect prevalent in our current healthcare system.

The performers made the best of an unconventional space, often working it into witty comments and scenes. They committed to their characters fully, and used hilarious jokes and slapstick comedy to heighten the storylines. The casting was phenomenal as each performer truly embodied their characters. Additionally, the ridiculous physicality of the Doctor drew the audience in further, keeping them engaged for the entire show.

The timing of each joke could have been more intentional, and added music would have elevated the emotional impact of each scene. At times, the dialogue felt scripted and forced; however, the performers advanced the plot effectively, guiding the scenes to the next naturally. They were well-prepared and dedicated to their parts.

The performers did an excellent job of dramatizing different aspects of the healthcare system to make a point. They explored the controversies and forced the audience to understand the realities of our society, and the lack of attention that the growing healthcare crisis is receiving.

The show provided stark examples and clear action items on how to demand better healthcare that were impossible to ignore. It provided the unvarnished truth and painted the issues in a clear and understandable light. It also taught the audience a lesson of awareness, and empowered us to make the change we wanted to see.
