Ageism in Grey's Anatomy

This is a scene from a "Grey's Anatomy" episode. It is a fast forward into Meredith and Cristina's lives as older women. You can see the different stereotypes incorporated into the scene, first off starting with the microwave food, grumpiness, bad sight, slow, and almost being shown as a dumb person by not being able to find her glasses that are wrapped around her neck.

This is an example of ageism in the media.
