Apparently, binge-watching Grey's Anatomy can count as research

I just saw this article, entitled "Accuracy of Urologic Conditions Portrayed on Grey’s Anatomy", published in the journal Health Education & Behavior. Let me translate the abstract:
We spent the coronavirus pandemic lockdown period binge-watching Grey's Anatomy. Our annual performance review is coming up, and we realised that our Dean isn't going to be too happy with our lack of research output, so we had to do something, and quickly.

I guess they made the most of a bad situation. I'm sure there are some people who wouldn't mind getting paid to watch 15 seasons of Grey's Anatomy, even if they had to watch it with a pen carefully poised to quickly take notes if a urological condition is mentioned.

File this with the research on getting crayfish drunk.
