‘Grey’s Anatomy’ Is Proven To Make People Sick

Before Grey's Anatomy, I was some loser who couldn't find friends if you paid me.

Suddenly, after catching a couple of seasons on Netflix, I can do kickflips like never before!

And not the kickflip kind, the nauseous kind.

Peep this, true believers, some of the big brains down at Cosmopolitan were wondering why watching Grey's Anatomy kept making them feel queasy.

And Sanam explained that people get sick while watching shows like Grey's Anatomy due to a mental phenomenon known as "parasympathetic reactions".

In layman's terms, it means that when characters on the show we love feel sick, we also feel sick because our brain is being sympathetic.

The camera angles, the dramatic music, the performances, like many other forms of entertainment they're designed to make us feel something. So, when they want us to feel sick, they usually get the job done.

How neat, you and I both learned something today!
