Heightism on "Grey's Anatomy"

Get a load of this clip from Grey's Anatomy.  Man gets limb-lengthening surgery in Hong Kong which causes an infection; then is told later by his taller brother that no one notices his height but him...lol

Yet, in another scene, the doctor who was trying to fix his legs was talking about how she felt humiliated and that made her feel .."shorter".

This aired in January of 2009.
