Patrick Dempsey: He's Not a Doctor, He Just Plays One on TV

Because some people have trouble distinguishing fiction from reality, Patrick Dempsey was mistaken for a real doctor when a real-life emergency ensued near him.

Hollywood actor PATRICK DEMPSEY was left startled on a plane when fans of TV show GREY’S ANATOMY mistook him for a real doctor. The heart-throb, who plays DR DEREK SHEPHERD in the medical drama, was expected to step in when a passenger collapsed – even though he is only a doctor on-screen. Dempsey says, “They did the whole ‘Is there a doctor on the plane?’ thing and looked at me like I was going to respond. I was like, ‘No, I’m not really a surgeon.’”

This reminds me of an episode of ‘Friends’ with Brooke Shields and Dr. Drake Ramore and …

Okay, nevermind. Wrong fandom. The point is: Hahaha!

I do hope they found a real doctor, though.
