Bailey is so unprofessional and NASTY ...spoiler

after the old woman said "no its my liver" "screw her" (oh what a nice granny she is, huh? I mean she could've been a little more sensitive towards the other patient who needs the liver LIKE NOW so saying "screw her" was so out of place coming from this old woman- yeah I know she's been on the waiting list for 3 years and understand that). What I hated was Bailey turning around looking at Meredith and Webber partially sticking her tongue out like - you lose, I win) I've been sick of Bailey for the longest time and had sympathy for her when she had that "mental breakdown" or whatever the story line was about her back then, yeah I forgot. Its just I also hate the way Bailey speaks to her husband or should I say ORDERS him around like he's a dumbass - he's too fine and sweet to put up w/her crap; he's OWNED up to his mistakes but Bailey's made plenty over the years as well but I've NEVER seen her OWN up to hers and I've NEVER missed an episode; SORRY SO LONG - just that "partially sticking her tongue out" has made me realized that Bailey isn't fit to run the hospital b/c she's too immature for the job!

i was so angered by that.

that old woman was cruel and disgusting. she could have just said no. not "screw her" and all that bs about "cutting in line" like it was the young woman's choice to come in and swoop in and steal her liver. no compassion or understanding what so ever. and it was so out of place, i half expected her to be diagnosed with a brain tumor especially after her daughter was like "this is so not like her" but she was just an old bitch which was really disappointing.

and bailey was like gloating and cheering that mer's patient was going to die while her's was going to live. no compassion either. as a doctor, you'd think she'd know how hard it is for a doctor to lose a patient and especially frustrating given the circumstances. she was practically cheering that mer's patient was going to die? what the hell?

While I agree Bailey didn't handle it well, I actually thought themost disgusting thing was to even ask the lady to give up the liver in the first place! What an awful position to put her in!!

And who's to say what we would do if we were in her shoes? I'm sure everyone thinks they'd give up the liver, but until you're in the situation you don't know.

Keep in mind she also wouldn't have gotten the very next available liver, she would've gotten the next MATCHING liver which could take another 3 years for all she knew.

i think what bothers me most was the way she said no. she could have said no and said something about wanting to spend more time with her family, etc. but instead she said "screw her" and went on to sort of trash-talk this poor woman and use language that made it seem that the young woman had snuck in and tried to "cut in line" and "steal" the liver. when none of this was the woman's fault at all. i don't think she should have been expected to give up her liver, but i also don't think she should have spoken so hatefully towards the other innocent party involved.

That's true, but I gotta admit it made me laugh lol. Gotta remember to suspend reality when watching these kinda shows :P

Yeah, that didn't sit right with me. Honestly, if I was that woman's doctor, I would be less enthusiastic about saving her life after that. The "screw her" was disturbing. I could understand if she just said she's sorry but she can't, but she came off like an old bitch.

To be fair, she wasn't excited about somebody else dying, she was excited about her patient living. People die all day, every day; this was a person she spent three years treating.

I hate Bailey but I get where she was coming from with this- she even acknowledges that Mer's patient took the joy out of it.

Well, isn't that one of the reasons why they called her the Nazi? She's been abrasive since day 1, but since becoming chief the power seems to have gone to her head. She's always been serious, doesn't joke around but lighten up Bailey. Life too short, have some fun for goodness sake.

Abrasive is one thing. She's been acting downright immature ever since her breakdown. It's been really weird.

I don't know. Yes, the older woman did look bad reacting that way, but try putting yourself in that situation. Something effecting your life that you've been waiting for. Yes, it's very sad that someone else needs a liver, but you're just supposed to feel guilty b/c of her age? Nah. I wouldn't want to die either.

Bailey has changed so much for the worst. I used to love her character and how she was with the residents. Now she's just annoying and seems to take her position to use over everyone. She's not good for that position. They really need to take her out of it. She's not the Nazi anymore which would have worked better.

As much as I dislike Bailey these days, she is not any worse (yet) than her husband - who is as "fine" and "sweet" as a shaving appointment with Sweeney Todd. And who has NEVER owned up to any of his mistakes.

Right now, they are a horror match made in heaven. Maybe Ben is bringing her down with him, maybe he is bringing out who she really is, but neither of them have much regard for human life.
