TSC: This is a compilation from the American TV show “Grey’s Anatomy” about one episode which includes a short guy who’s legs becomes infected after leg-lengthening surgery. Please note that this is the only depiction of a short man in this show’s 11 seasons. Plus, none of the female doctors of the show were ever shown to have dated a short man, and none of the male doctors were short. Plus, during the very episode where they’re trying to suggest that being short is “no big deal”, the doctor who is operating on this short clown of a character is using short stature as an analogy for the bad things in her life. I guess this show could have been more patronizing, but I’m not sure how.

Once again, this is the ONLY example of a short man that this popular TV show presented to it’s audience over the course of ELEVEN YEARS. I sometimes complain about “The Short Guy Episodes” of some TV shows, but this is ridiculous. Most “Short Guy Episodes” are mildly patronizing because they try to show that being short isn’t a big deal, and then the short male character is never seen from again. But this one is extremely patronizing because it takes all of the worst aspects of “The Short Guy Episodes” and makes the short guy a scarecrow for other characters to project their heightist and toxic ideas upon.
