Grey’s Anatomy is a dramatic story about a group of new surgical interns fighting
it out and figuring it out in one of the country’s most competitive residency programs.
They are all young, sexually charged and motivated. . .leading to a deep and
passionate story.
Despite this thread of similarity, all five interns are unique.
The series revolves around Dr. Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo), who began in the show
as a surgical intern at the fictional Seattle Grace Hospital in Seattle, Washington.
Grey’s Anatomy is an Emmy and Golden Globe award-winning American prime time
television medical drama.
The title of the show is an allusion to the anatomy textbook Gray’s Anatomy and a play
on the central character’s (Meredith Grey’s) name.
In Meredith’s group are 4 other first-year interns: Cristina Yang, Isobel “Izzie” Stevens,
George O’Malley and Alex Karev. Yesterday they were students but today they are
doctors at Seattle Grace Hospital. They are participating in the toughest surgical
residency program west of Harvard. But their new jobs aren’t the only things they have
to keep them busy.There are always their personal lives.
Meredith is a one of the surgeon in the top of her class.
She’s somewhat considered royalty because her mother, Ellis Grey, was a noted
pioneering surgeon known for making breakthroughs in the specialty as a talented
surgeon and as a woman who broke barriers. Only thing is Ellis now lives in Roseridge
where she suffers from a tragic and devastating illness but she doesn’t want anyone
to know. Meredith keeps her mother’s secret because she asks her to.
The second and the third season focuses on Meredith and Derek’s relationship, which
came to an abrupt halt when it was revealed that Dr. Shepherd is married to surgeon
Addison Montgomery-Shepherd.
Grey’s Anatomy has been instrumental to the success of Snow Patrol’s “Chasing Cars”
and The Fray’s “How to Save a Life“, both of which became top 5 hits after appearing in
the show.
Stay tuned for the Season 4 premiere on Thursday, September 27!
