higher rank than an intern who is the residency is just one year at the hospital. This humor belongs to the sarcasm type. Meanwhile, the function is mediation.
Dr. Bailey : Karev, see the chief. Dr. Karev : What for?
Dr. Bailey : Do I look psychic to you? Hes the chief. He asked. You go.
Datum 34 This is another example shown how sharp Bailey is. She informs Karev to
meet the chief at that moment, meanwhile Karev does not know what the meet for so he asks. Bailey hates to be asked more when she gives an order since she also
does not know the reason. Hence, she emphasizes the chief position in this dialogue.
The position in hospital as a “chief” is the highest rank in the hospital unit,
because there is a chief as the head in every unit in the hospital, while the unit meant here is the surgery unit. Therefore, when the chief says something, the
subordinate should do. Bailey does sarcasm by underlining the position of a chief because Karev is asking too much. Then, the function is social management.
d. Anatomy
This type of medical terminology is related to human body from head to toe and even the inside part of the body. The first data example is in datum 8
below.
Dr. Grey: Its not us. Its them. Them and their stupid boy penises. They
didnt tell me that had a wife. Datum 8
Grey and Cristina talk to each other about their tragic love live. Grey says this to express her disappointment to her boyfriend, Derek as he never tells her
that he already has a wife who is also a doctor. She blames t he part of male’s body
that is funtioned in sexual activity and for urinating. “Penis” is also the symbol of
a male. Meanwhile, Grey applies the term “penis” as the swear word and curses Derek and Burke’s penises. The type is sarcasm because the speaker uses the
rudest way to express her anger by saying “stupid boy penises”. The function is social management. The datum 18 below also presents the data of anatomy term.
Dr. Bailey: I like Judy dolls. I own Judy dolls. The only problem I have with Judy dolls is theyre in the bowel of this man.
Datum 18 A patient with an unusual problem gets Bailey and the interns surprised.
The patient who is thought swallowed a lot of drugs comes to the hospital. However, after being checked by X-ray, the things that are stuck on his bowel are
not balloons of drugs but ten of Judy dolls head and get stuck in his bowel because they are too big. This quite funny since the doctors get no answer why he
swallowed them. The other morning, when Cristina arrives at the hospital and starts to
check the patient’s document, Bailey addresses her and starts the conversation by saying this humor.
The term “bowel” itself is a long tube that carries solid waste from the stomach out of the body. She uses this incident in humor to get closer to
her intern. Therefore, the function is social management and the type is a joke. Another example is found below.
Dr. George: Hes definitely coming. Ow Want her doing tequila shots all
night? Ill be the one cleaning up the vomit. Besides, I touched a heart
today, Porny.
Datum 61
The datum 61 happens in a bar near hospital. Grey gets drunk and in a broken heart and her interns friend accompanied her. She expects that Derek will
come to the bar and chooses her than his wife, therefore she asks her friend whether Derek will come or not. George answers that he will come, so Cristina
pinches him. Then, George replies by teasing Cristina that George had done a proudly solo operation while she got a patient that should watch porno all day
long. The anatomy word “heart” uttered by George in this sentence has double
meanings. In medical field, it means the heart of human part he touched in a heart surgery and emotionally it means the heart of feeling because he saves the
patient’s life. He uses this double entendres humor to mock Cristina. Therefore, the function is social management.
