Greys Anatomy

Relevant Background Information:

The observation that I took of Greys Anatomy takes place in Seattle. The hospital

is called Seattle Grace Hospital. There is also a close hospital by called Mercy WestHospital. Sometimes patients from Mercy get sent to Seattle because Seattle Grace is the

bigger and better hospital. Seattle Grace also is a trauma hospital. In my opinion, Seattle

Grace would be the equivalent or better of Wake Forest Baptist Hospital or Carolina

Medical Center that we have here in North Carolina. There are a lot of characters in the

show of Greys. There are also a lot of actors that are only there for the one show and we

really never know their names or really anything about them. There are 5 interns that just

graduated Medical School that are in the Seattle Grace surgical internship. There is a

resident that is above them and she seems to always be stressed out because she is over

them and if something goes wrong it is her fault. Greys Anatomy doesnt follow much of

a story line, but the romance always builds off each other on every episode. Its more of a

romantic doctor show.

Figured World: a large social form that has rules and regulations that is within the

appropriate behavior

The figured world I am observing is Greys Anatomy. In this I will be looking at

how Greys is different then the actual medical field. Because I have spent ample amount

of time interning at hospitals, I can kind of see the difference. The place where my

figured world takes place is Seattle Grace Hospital. There really is no business here

besides health care because that is what goes on in a hospital. The people who normally

are at the hospital are the nurses, doctors, pharmacist, and of course the patients. In the

beginning of Greys, it mainly focuses on the surgery dept. As the show develops more

characters come on that are part of the surgery dept. but they have specialized in other

areas. Mainly because they arent interns anymore. So a lot of things can take place. Not

more than one patient can be in the surgery rooms though, well because that goes against

surgery protocol. Though I am not a doctor, Greys Anatomy is totally different then real

life. Ive never really heard of doctors going to the call room and having sex in real life.

But in Greys unfortunately it probably happens every episode. Doing that would not be

accepted in the real world but in the figured world, it is okay. Also in the real world,

doctors arent as blunt as they are on Greys anatomy. On Greys, if youre dying, wellthey tell you that you are dying. Where as in the real world they would be sincere about

it. Also the doctors flirt with each other a lot on Greys and normally doctors in real life

normally have a wife or husband.

Actors/Actresses: within the community, the actors and actresses play a specific role

to make the figured world make sense.

Meredith Grey- Meredith could be considered one of the top interns at Seattle

Grace. Merediths mother was an awesome surgeon and has a actual surgery after her.

(Her mother now has Alzheimers and doesnt recall her surgical career. Sometimes

when Meredith goes to see her mother, her mother doesnt really remember her either.)

Meredith is in love with Derek Sheppard, which is an attending doctor at the hospital.

Meredith goes out of her way to make sure her patients are okay and she sometimes dont

always follow the rules.

Derek Sheppard- Dr. Sheppard is an attending neuro physician. (He is a neurologist,which means he operates on the brain.) Sheppard actually has a wife, Addison Sheppard

but when the show first came on she was not in the show and Sheppard fell in love with

Meredith. Addison finally comes in from New York where they lived together. We then

find out that Addison cheated on Derek and Derek moved away from her. She comes in

after Derek and Meredith have already fallen in love. Derek then forgets about Meredith

for a while and tries to fix his relationship with his wife, which doesnt work in the end.

Derek is a really good surgeon and is recognized all over the world.

Alex Karev- Alex is also another surgical intern at Seattle Grace. Alex doesnt have the

best attitude and he can be sort of a mean person. He says what he thinks. He doesnt care

if it isnt the best thing to say or if it might hurt someones feelings. Alex is really good

with kids. He can calm kids down like no other. He just isnt good with patients that he

doesnt agree with what they are doing. Alex didnt pass his boards the first time so he

had to retake them. He passed the second time.

George OMalley- George is also a surgical intern. George lets a lot of people influence

him and his decision. George and Dr. Burks are really good friends now because

OMalley did a really crazy open-heart surgery in the elevator when the elevator got

stuck. Everyone praised OMalley afterwards but OMalley is a top-notch doctor to a lot

of people. He gets thrown around a lot between doctors. OMalley has a really hard time

with relationships. He cant really keep them and when he gets someone that actually

likes him, he doesnt know how to treat them or how to like them back.

Izzy Stevens- Izzy is also an intern in the surgical program. Izzy and Alex had a thing but

then Izzy fell in love with a patient. Izzy seriously risks everything for this patient. She

could have lost her license and everything else for what she does for the patient. Izzy

seems to be a very sweet soul. She doesnt really do anything extraordinary so far but that

doesnt mean that she isnt a great surgeon. Izzy usually gets along with everyone and has

great bedside manner.

Miranda Bailey- Dr. Bailey is a fun character for sure. She is a resident and she is over

the interns. She is called the Nazi because she is very strict and its her way or no way. At

first the interns are really scared of her and do everything exactly how she says but as the

show progresses, they kind of do what they want. Miranda seems to be stressed out a lot

because the interns do a lot of things that arent sociably acceptable. But Miranda does

have a kind heart and goes out of her way to make sure her patients are doing well.

5#6+#-/#" 478 9:4;

Addison Sheppard- Addison is an OB/GYN attending doctor. Addison is really nice but

gets annoyed with Derek and Meredith, well because Derek is her husband. She cheated

on Derek and she regrets it (or so she says) everyday. She is an awesome doctor and is

really good with her patients. Addison wasnt in the show when it started but came in a

few episodes later. She wants her and Derek to move back to New York, but Derek is not

having it.

Cali Torres- Cali is an attending orthopedic surgeon. Cali just came into Greys Anatomy

and has probably only been on two or so episodes. She has a love crush on George butGeorge doesnt really give her a chance.

Richard Webber- Richard is the best doctor at Seattle Grace. He is the Chief of Surgery

and everything has to go through him. Everyone loves Dr. Webber. He tries to make sure

that everyone that goes through makes everyone happy. He likes to see people happy.

Webber does the really hard surgeries and is always there in case something happens.

Preston Burk- Dr. Burk is a cardiovascular surgeon. Which means he operates on the

heart. Christiana Yang and Burk have something going on. Burk goes out of his way to

make sure his patients are okay. He will preform surgeries that might not be acceptable

just because there might be a glimmer of hope for the patient.

Christiana Yang- Yang is an awesome surgeon. She always wants to be in the hardest

surgery. She doesnt have a problem with doing hard things. She is an awesome doctor.

She doesnt have very good bedside manner at all though. She says awkward things andshe doesnt stop herself from saying what is on her mind. Yang and Meredith are best

friends. They tell each other everything. Yang isnt one to let her emotions take over

what she does at work.

Artifacts: can be actual objects, ideas and emotions within the figured world

McDreamy- McDreamy is what Derek Sheppard is called. This is important because

everyone calls Derek that. Meredith and even patients think that Derek is the best looking

thing ever.

Surgery Board- The surgery board is very important because its pretty much what the

whole show is based around. Any surgery that goes on, goes onto the board.

Medical Machines- All of the medical things are important because that is what the

doctors and nurses use. Thats normally how all the patients stay alive.

The On Call Room- The place of the on call room is important because thats normally

where all the romantic situations happen. They also happen at Merediths house but a lot

happen in the on call room and you dont normally see that during the day at a real life

hospital.

Communities of Practice- three or more people who have common interests and

ways of communicating in the figured world

The interns- The interns are very important to the show because they are really what

the show is about. The interns are Meredith, Izzy, George, Christiana and Alex.

The Residents- In this how you arent exactly sure who the Residents and Attendingsare. But the residents are very important because that is who is over the Interns. Miranda

and Cali.

The Attendings- These are the doctors that are actually doctors. They are the ones that

have been through all the schooling and internships. They are official doctors. Burks,

Derek, Addison and Richard.

Literacy Practices- way to communicate, can be written or spoken

Pager- A lot of times within the show, the doctors communicate through the pager. This

is how they get the Code Blue which is where a patient is normally dying. The pager

comes into play a lot because if someone is needed, you page him or her. This is still used

in hospitals today. Pagers might consider Old School but they are still very important.

Face-to-fact- there is a lot of face-to-face communications within Greys Anatomy. With

any show they are obviously going to be talking to each other.

Domain- the focus of each community, the goal that is being aimed at

Difficult Surgeries- all of the surgeons (interns, residence, and attendings) are all very

competitive. They all like to do really difficult surgeries so that they look better and are

considered to be a top surgeon. Christina Yang and Meredith Grey are probably the most

competitive interns where as Miranda Bailey is for the residents.

Healing the Patient- Obviously the main goal of being a doctor is making sure the patient

survives and heals. If this isnt a top priority I would be scared to go to that doctor. Every

doctor on Greys wants to make sure that their patient gets to leave the hospital and

doesnt die on them.

Practices of Communities- what is being done within the figured world

Surgery- The whole figured world is based on the surgery aspect of the hospital. All ofthe interns, residents, and attendings are there for surgery. The attendings are specialized

in the surgery categories where as the residents and interns are trying to figure out where

they fit in.

Romance- all of the surgeons are for some reason after romance. Romance is a big thing

within the show and kind of what the show is going around. It makes up a big chunk of

the show.

Observation #1-

Blues for Sister Someone- Season 2; Episode 23

(1:00min means 1 minute into the episode)

1:00 min- the episodes start out with a sex scene. This is common way for greys anatomyto start off. Derek Sheppard is back with Addison, which is real wife. He was with

Meredith but Addison came to Seattle and was hired on at Seattle Grace. This reallybothers Meredith because she in love with Derek. Meredith calls McDreamy (Derek) to

ask if Derek could pick up the dog. (It was Merediths dog but her roommates didnt

want it at the house so she gave it to Derek but she still takes care of it sometimes). He

says yes but Addison gets on the phone thinking that its the vet and she says can you

call back later we are in the middle of sex. This really upsets Meredith because she still

is in love with Derek. This is finally when she realizes that she is single and admits it.

3:00 min- Dr. Bailey just got back from maternity leave and she is upset that her name is

not in the surgery board. Christiana is mad at George because George has moved in with

Burks and Christiana. They are literally best friends now. The vet asked Meredith if he

would go on a date with her and she said that she was giving up guys but she said that she

is thinking about going on a date with. His nickname is McVet Bailey has a patient that

Izzy has fallen head over heals for. Dr. Burks favorite violinist is at the hospital to get Dr.

Burks to operate on his pacemaker and remove it. But Dr. Burks had other plans because

he doesnt think that is a very good idea.

7:50min- Addison Sheppard has a new patient that is pregnant women has 6 kids and she

is 36 weeks pregnant. She wants it to be her last kid. She has had enough but she knows

that her husband wont be okay with it because of there religion. She wants her tubes tide.

Addison cant tell the husband so the patient wants to pay it to herself directly to Addison

without going through insurance because then her husband would find out. Alex is with

Addison with this patient and he isnt very happy with what the patient is saying. He

things that she should tell her husband because he would understand.

11:00min- Derek Sheppard gets a new neuro patient and she is a divorce attorney and can

pretty much see through about his marriage. Her being a divorce attorney is actually very

ironic because his marriage is really in the dumps. Dr. Sheppard wants to induce a seizure

so he knows where he can operate. George falls for Cali until Cali starts liking him back.

13:58min- the violinist that Burks likes plays for him so that Burks can listen. The artistknows that he isnt good anymore so he asks Burks knows that but he lies anyway. The

artist knows that he is lying and calls him out on it. The violinist talks to him about the

first time he picked up a violin. Burks tells him that he cannot remove it because of all

the scar tissue that was built up. But artist doesnt care and says that if Burks dont

operate that he will go find another doctor that will. Burks is really thinking about letting

him go somewhere else because he just doesnt think that he can do that. Christiana tries

to talk him out of letting him go somewhere else.

5#6+#-/#" 478 9:4;

16:05min- Denny, the guy that Izzy likes that is a patient, gets the approval to get up and

walk around. This scares Izzy because she is so protective of him. Bailey doesnt know

what is going on but she wants to know and she wants someone to tell her. Grey is

knitting these days. Bailey said maybe your not stupid because Grey is giving up on

guys, or so Bailey thinks.

18:00min-The interns are still trying to induce the seizure on the divorce attorney and

Addison tries to get patient to talk to her husband about getting her tubes tied. She stillrefuses to because she knows that her husband will be upset. Alex is being very mean and

is very angry with this and the patient notices it.

20:30min- Addison does the surgery on the pregnant women. Addison says that while she

was operating that there was extra bleeding and we all know why she said that. So she

could tie the womens tubes without it being like she did it behind the husbands back.

She ties her tubes and goes back to the women and tells her There was a complication

Alex isnt very happy about this at all. He thinks that Addison is crazy and proceeds to

tell the husband to get a lawyer.

22:30min- Meredith gets on the elevator with Derek. This used to be awkward for them

right when Addison moved into town but now this is where they do the most talking. She

tells Derek that she is thinking about going on a date with the vet. Derek doesnt really

respond to this. Dereks patient is still trying to be induced into a seizure and the way that

the interns are trying to induce the seizure.

24:40-Denny, Izzys lover, is getting ready to stand up and get to use the new medical

thing that he is hooked up to. Izzy does not like this.

25:55min- Burks is operating on the violin patient. Izzys friend is going into v-tack.

(Which is a bad heart thing) Birks is loosing the violin patient. Izzy and George start

arguing about Denny. Alex is actually being nice to his patient and do the patients

husband. (This isnt normal) Burks patient is literally non-existent now but he wants to

keep going because he really upset about losing him. Dereks patient finally had her

seizure. Denny came back around and was saved. (He dies and gets saved a lot within this

episode). Dr. Burks finally lets go of his patient.

28:20min- Meredith is talking to the guy that Izzy likes, Denny. She is telling him that

everything looks good now even after the horrible episode that he just had. Grey then sits

down and has a long talk with him about Izzy. Denny then says, even if you cant dosomething you are going to do it anyway and thats when Grey realizes that she still

wants Derek even if he does have a wife.

Observation #2-

Damage Case- Season 2; Episode 24

!"#$%& ()*+,-$ ./"0*+1,) 2,+#& 34

5#6+#-/#" 478 9:4;

1:00min- Meredith and the McVet are having a conversation about cooking and

McVet said that she is damaged. Meredith isnt sure what he means by damaged and

doesnt really know how to take it. Afterwards, Izzy asks Meredith if she liked him and

Izzy says that she is proud that she hasnt actually slept with him yet. (Not saying that

Meredith is a bad person, but she does get around a lot.) Cali walks into the bathroom

where Meredith and Izzy are, naked. Meredith and Izzy dont think this is right and arekind of disgusted by the fact that she did that. Since Cali done that, Meredith and Izzy

wont leave George alone about it.

3:20min- All of the interns are standing there and arguing and Yang (who normally isnt

ever happy and usually the Debbie downer) wants everyone to be happy. She doesnt like

that no one gets along anymore. She starts dancing around which surprises all of the

interns. McDreamy (Derek Sheppard) walks up and asks Meredith how his dog was

going. Meredith doesnt like that he said that it was his dog. She looks at him and says

that the dog is good but its our dog not just yours. McDreamy walked away looking

very annoyed. You can tell that he is not very happy with Meredith at all and she doesnt

really know why.

4:15min- The inters get there first patients of the day and its a car crash victims that need

to be cut open as Yang said. Bailey is giving directions of where people should be

going. The patients are a husband, wife and wifes parents that were in the car crash. You

can tell that the wife and the wifes parents are extremely southern. The wife is pregnant

and keeps asking how her mom and dad are. The interns are getting a little annoyedbecause the patients keep yelling back and fourth in the middle of the Emergency Room.

The mom starts putting on makeup while being checked out. The person that caused the

wreck also comes into the Emergency Room and the father goes at him to try to beat him

up but is stopped.

6:20min- The mother needs a pelvic exam and Alex is the intern that is with OB/GYN

that day but the woman refuses to let a man do her exam. She says that she doesnt have

any panties on and she wants a lady doctor. The guy that caused the accident is a

surgery intern at the Mercy West hospital, which is a neighboring hospital right down the

road. It is shown that Meredith has sympathy for this guy. Also, Meredith keeps trying to

talk to Derek but he is just not having it and keeps saying not right now. The mom and

dad of the wreck patients get discharged. They think that the husband and wife are doing

fine but they do need surgery.

7:50 min- Addison comes in asking why Alex wasnt up on the surgery floor. He saidbecause we got a 911 call in the Emergency Room of a pregnant women in a car crash

and I thought that was serious enough that she needed to be checked out by us. Addison

is trying to get back at Alex and tells him that he get sto stay with the women all day and

that Bailey is to make sure that Alex does stay with her. Stevens gets to go into an

orthopedic surgery but its with Cali and she isnt too happy about that. Pregnant goes in

for a CT scan. She is telling them that today was her baby shower. She wont be quite.

9:05min- George walks in on his patient reading his own chart. (Remember, this was the

surgical intern from Mercy West Hospital) George tells him that is not a good idea for

him to be looking at that. The patient goes on to say that he wanted to know what caused

him to cause the accident. Stevens gets with Cali and she is still making fun of her for not

washing her hands the other day. Really, anything that Cali does wrong, Izzy is probably

going to make fun of her. Derek walks into the room that the surgical intern is in and

starts yelling at Meredith because she hasnt taken him up for a CT scan yet. Yang goesto ask Birk if he has any heart patients that she could scrub in on. She is tired of the

country folk. He kind of ignores her and keeps going on with what he is doing. Turnsout that Birk was mad because when Yang and him were doing the dirty, Yang fell

asleep.

11:40min- Stevens gets called to Denny because he was walking up to many stairs and

collapsed. They get Denny back to the room and Denny is really annoyed with his health.

He says that Birk cannot make the decisions for him and that it was his life. Birk argues

back at him and tried to get him to understand what is going on. They then start arguing

about the heart machine and Denny says that he wants to go home. Izzy is getting all

worked up and stressed about the things that Denny is saying.

13:40min- Melody, which is the pregnant women, is in the CT scan now. They are

looking at the damages and seeing how bad everything is looking. They page literally

every surgeon in the different specialties because the woman is literally bleeding out

everywhere. The woman ends up crashing and they have to bring her back. George has to

go tells the womans husband what is going on. Plus the country Mom and Dad. Herinjuries are pretty bad.

15:30min- All of the surgeons are working on this one patient. Alex is watching the baby

monitor but wishes he was doing something else actually on the patient. George reassures

the family that the doctors are going to do whatever they can to help Melody out. Melody

starts declining and bleeding out very rapidly. They are all working very hard. They

decide that it would be best just do damage control which means that they get done

quickly and once she reaches the triangle they stop. The triangle is where the blood

becomes acidic. After this happens, they will just put her in the Intensive Care Unit

where she will be wide up with a warming thing over her. The surgical intern that caused

the wreck realizes what happened and why the crash occurred. He fell asleep at the

wheel. He had worked 18 hours and then watched a 12-hour surgery. While Meredith is

talking to the CT technician, the guy runs away because he finds out that the women

might die.

18:50min- Izzy tries to cheer Denny up but it is not working. Denny is very upset. He

starts talking to her about her not understanding. He is a man but he doesnt feel like a

man with his weak body that he has to deal with. Melody still isnt doing very well at all.

They have reached the triangle as this point, which means everyone has to stop. They

dont close her. They left her open and put her in the ICU. Merediths patient was found

in the surgery overview watching what was happening.

21:10min- Derek starts yelling at Meredith and tells that she needs to start taking

responsibility for her actions. He doesnt understand how she could lose the patient.

Derek looks very upset. Bailey explains to Melodys family of what they are doing and

why. Addison then chimes in. Bailey explains that Melody would die if they took her

back into surgery too quick and that she would die of they take her back to late. The mom

looks very upset and confused. Alex is still forced to sit there and watch the fetal monitor.

Addison fuses at him because she wants him to understand the importance of sitting thereand making sure that the baby is okay.

24:20min- Cali is in the room with the husband and George comes in to tell her that he

found Izzy and one of her patients needed her and that is why she didnt prep the surgery

room like Cali told her to. Cali gets mad and says she knew that George would take up

for her and then Cali walks out of the room. The patient is awake and makes fun of

George. George asks the patient if he understands whats going on with Melody. He starts

crying because she could be dying and he doesnt want to think about it.

27:20min- the surgical intern from Mercy West wants to apologize to the family. Derek

doesnt think that is a good idea. Meredith chases after Derek and Derek tells her that she

gets around and Meredith says that she should have told him anything. She thought that

they were friends. But doesnt look like they are. Derek is really mad about what

Meredith did with the Vet. Meredith brings up the point that he chose Addison over her.

Derek tells Meredith that everything that their friendship is over.

Observation #3-

17 Seconds- Season 2; Episode 25


.60min- Most of the interns and doctors are at the bar and Birk is throwing darts and

Yang says that Birk is thinking about her skull while throwing the darts. Meredith and

Derek make an awkward eye contact and Izzy says that Derek is throwing darts at

Merediths skull. Derek finally said that he thought Meredith was a whore.

1:30min- Izzy makes fun of Alex for being a Gynecologist. George and Cali walk in and

they are all super excited about seeing George but no one really likes Cali. Meredith and

Derek meet with Vet and Addison asks if they are still friends. Derek and Meredith bothjust look at each other and say no very quickly. Yang tries to talk to Birk about going

with him to get a heart but Birk wont let her. He still seems to be mad at her for falling

asleep during intercourse.

3:30min- The interns get patients that have been involved in a shooting at a store. The

women is mad because her fianc ducked behind her as the shooting was going on. He

tells her that the bullet hit them both but she says she has whole through her arm so he

needs to shut up. Cali and Meredith are actually working together. Meredith seems like

she can get along with anyone and doesnt really have enemies. Another patient is

questioning Izzy and asks if she knows what she is doing. She then gives him a long

speech about how he is probably the reason the place was shot up. She tells him that he

needs to be more serious because people were actually hurt in the shooting.

6:00min- The shooter has not been caught yet so they think that there may be morepeople to be shot but Webber insist that Birk continue on to get the heart. Alex and Yang

both want to go so Birk has to make a decision. They are both running to the helicopter.Birk lets Alex get on the case with him. This makes Yang so very upset. Denny is the

lucky patient that gets the heart.

7:30min- Izzy wants to get on the case with Denny. She says she knows more about his

lab and his heart then anyone does. Bailey doesnt like this idea. Izzy keeps pushing and

finally Bailey gives in. Derek is really upset about this 19 year old getting shot. The girl

is also pregnant. The guy that Izzy gave the speech to is now talking to his friend Chug

about how he should have went to management because he would get covered. Chug

wants more morphine because the guy wont shut up and is really bugging him. Cali

jumps on Meredith and Meredith isnt sure why.

10:00min- Izzy walks in and tells Denny that he is getting the heart. Denny makes her

repeat it multiple times. Then Izzy finds out that Denny is wanted to sign DO NOT

RESITUTATE papers. Izzy is extremely upset about this. Denny just doesnt know if

the heart will actually come though or not. If he doesnt get the heart, he said he isthrough fighting. He said he cant do it anymore. Izzy refuses to let him make this

decision but she really cant do that. Denny said he would choice heaven rather then

being on earth.

13:00min- Birk gets to Mercy Wests and finds out there are two hearts that are perfect

matches. Birk explains to Alex that the hearts are already assigned so they cant just pick

which one that they want. Birk and of his old classmates that dont seem to like each

other, talk about being first in class. Birk walks in the operating room to find that his

heart donor has crashed and he has to try to bring him back. He cant therefore the heart

is useless now.

15:00min- Birks runs into his classmates surgical room and wants the heart she has. She

is not happy about it and calls him pathetic.

15:50- Meredith asks Cali about bone cancer in a dog. She wanted to know the survivalrate and Cali freaks out because they have a patient that may never walk again and

Meredith is worried about her dog. Birk and his colleague are still fight about who should

get the heart. 17 seconds is the time between when both patients that need to receive the

heart were admitted. Birks colleague should get it because her patient was there first.

17:30min- Izzy starts freaking about learning that Denny might not get the heart. Addison

she is dating the Vet and that she has nothing with Derek. Izzy lies to Birk to Denny

moved up on the list in front of the other patient. Transplant personnel says that Birk has

an hour to prove that his patient needs the heart worse.

20:20min- Derek is working on patient and pronounces her brain dead before he really

even gets started. They go to tell the patient parents, and the parents end up wanting to

get the girl alive on life support so that they can save the baby. The manager guy downin the Emergency Room still hasnt shut up. Bailey is fed up with it and freaks out on him

telling him that everyone was tired of hearing his mouth.

22:10- Yang is complaining about Birk not letting her on a surgery case this week just

because he is still mad at her. Izzy admits to friends that she lied to Birk about Denny and

made him seem worse then he really is. Yang tries talking to her about doing the right

thing and waiting on another heart but Izzy refuses to understand. Out of everyone, Yang

thinks Izzy would be the one to go bat crazy and shoot up the hospital.

24:00min- Izzy tells Denny that the guy that was supposed to give the heart to him did

not survive and to get the other heart, Denny would pretty much need to die. She told him

not to worry because she would be right there and would not let him die. Denny said that

he was not okay with that and it was not happening. Izzy fights back and says that she

will make it happen no matter what. Denny is freaking out on Izzy because she is literally

being crazy. Izzy still pushes back. Izzy explains that the difference was only 17 seconds

and that he needs this heart. Denny cant get Izzy to understand. Izzy makes it about

herself and asks what about her. She continuously begs.

27:50min- Cali and George are talking. He explains that Yang, Meredith and Izzy are

family. If she wants to be apart of the family she has to be okay with that too. Birk

explains that the testing and what he has to do for Denny shouldnt take long. Then Izzy

explains to Birk that she is going to do something but doesnt tell him what. The

transplant people are confused as to what is going on and so is Birk so he decides that he

is going to go back to Seattle and check on Denny himself.

Interview- By: Shelby Thompson, Freshman.

1. What different approaches do you think Shonda Rhimes could have done to

make show more relatable to the actual Medical Field?I understand the actual procedures done within the show are not accurate. If

Shonda had the goal to portray how the actual hospital is run, she should have

taken out some of the drama. The social aspect of the hospital is not the same

as a realistic one. The way some of the doctors speak to the patients or how

leisurely the chief of surgery is with the rules is much more lenient than what

would happen in a hospital in our world.

2. Describe how you would write the script of Greys Anatomy if you were thedirector.

I would write the script very similar to how Shonda has. Personally, I would

be sure to include realistic information about how a hospital is run. Since I

plan to go into the medical field I would help, as many people understand it as

possible.

3. Reflect on what you think of Greys Anatomy.

Although the practice medicine is incorrect throughout the series, I foundGreys Anatomy to be quite intriguing. It had many incidents where is brought

real-word problems into perspective. The newest episode showed how same-

sex relationships were evolving. I may not agree with the morality of some of

these situations but I respect Rhimes for including such important scenarios

happening in our daily lives.

4. Has Greys Anatomy influenced you wanting to go into the Medical Field? Ifno, why? If yes, why?

If I am being completely honest, when I was in the heart of Greys I wanted to

become an Orthopedic Surgeon. I had just had a metal plate put in my

collarbone and the idea of mending someones broken body back to where it

needed to be was enticing. I slowly realized how much school and money that

would cost and result back to my original plan of becoming a Physical

Therapist. It was inspiring to see the way that Arizona recovered because I

knew that I wanted to give that feeling to others. Greys showed me a prime

example of how rehabilitation could completely change someones life andhow much joy it could bring them.

5. Why do you think Shonda Rhimes puts so much romance within the show?I think Rhimes understood that not all of the medicine practiced was accurate.

She needed something that took the show to a new level, letting people

overlook the errors pertaining to the medical field. The drama is what makes

the show and without it the medicine would have to be spot on.
