Grey's Anatomy and Dr. McDreamy

So i've become absolutely obsessed with the show Grey's Anatomy. I will put a summary of the show at the end of my post for any interested parties to read. As well for those that do watch, just a disclaimer i do talk about some of the episodes in this post.

I have no idea why i began to watch this show, but now it has a hold on me. It's not just the hottie characters either like Dr. McDreamy :) but the intertwined stories of the interns and doctors as well. The characters are real and raw. There is so much emotion in each episode it kills me. This entire season for some reason, i find myself with a kleenex in hand, tears streaming down my face every single episode i watch. I wouldn't even consider it a sad show, but the characters somehow seem to grab me in that spot and make me feel.

I desperately want Meredith and Dr. Shepherd aka Dr. McDreamy to get back together. Even though George would be amazing for her .... he finally told her last week how he felt and how he would never ever hurt her. It was so genuine and heartfelt. I mean what woman wouldn't want to hear those words...and he truly does mean it. However, i'm still going for McDreamy.

What about the bomb episode when we find out Bailey is about to give birth and her husband almost dies on the surgical table because he was in a car accident on the way to the hospital. Or how Meredith is left holding onto the bomb that could explode at any minute only to pass it onto the bomb squad man successfully. As she leaves the room to watch him walk down the hall it explodes in his arms. What about the episode where there is a train wreck and two strangers are both impaled on a pole. To have even a remotley successful surgery, only one may live. Ahhhhhhh i mean, how do you choose, how do you tell someone they are going to die right then and there. The show gives me goosebumps, i can't even explain it.

The way Meredith and McDreamy gaze at one another, so passionate yet so forbidden. The Episode where Christina loses her baby and she doesn't want anyone to touch her...then Burke finds out that it was his baby, he climbs into her bed and holds her even though she is an intern and he a surgeon..... oh man it rips at your heart.

Of course it's not all serious and dramatic, but it's also funny. George lives with Meredith and Izzie and often has to listen to them moan and complain about men as they squish into his bed while he just stares at the ceiling and rubs their backs. Christina is hilarious she tells it like it is to the patients, much to the dismay of the doctors.

I very very rarely ever purchase DVD's. I will most definately be buying this one as it just came out last week. Perhaps an early Bday present to myself :)



Here is a small summary about the show courtesy of http://abc.go.com/primetime/greysanatomy/about.htm

"Meet Meredith Grey. She's a woman trying to lead a real life while doing a job that makes having a real life impossible. Meredith is a first-year surgical intern at Seattle Grace Hospital, the toughest surgical residency program west of Harvard. She and fellow first-year interns Cristina Yang, Izzie Stevens, George O'Malley and Alex Karev were students yesterday; today they're doctors and, in a world where on the job training can be a matter of life and death, they're all juggling the ups and downs of their own personal lives.

The five interns fight to maintain friendships in this most stressful and competitive atmosphere. Meredith's medical ambition is overshadowed by a troubling secret: Her mother, a noted pioneering surgeon, is suffering from a tragic and devastating illness. Cristina is a study in contradiction; highly competitive and driven, she eschews any favors in order to make it on her own. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens, the small-town girl who paid for medical school by modeling in her underwear, battles for respect amongst her peers. George O'Malley is the warm but insecure boy next door who always manages to do or say the wrong thing -- even in the O.R. Worse, in spite of his obvious attraction to Meredith, he's treated as "just one of the girls." And Alex Karev, the intern every intern loves to hate, masks his working class roots with arrogance and ambition.

The interns are guided by an established team of doctors who are determined to shape them into skilled surgeons or break them: Miranda Bailey, the senior resident responsible for training them, masks her softer side with a demeanor so tough that she's the nicknamed "The Nazi." Derek Shepherd is the flirtatious but wildly talented surgeon. Meredith thought he was her soul mate when the two began a forbidden sexual relationship -- but now that the wife Meredith never knew he had has arrived, she's not so sure. Preston Burke's arrogance is second only to his skill with a scalpel. He meets his match in Cristina when they begin a less romantic but equally forbidden relationship of their own. Overseeing them all is Dr. Richard Webber, Seattle Grace's paternal but no-nonsense chief of surgery who harbors some secrets of his own concerning Meredith's mother.

Grey's Anatomy focuses on young people struggling to be doctors and doctors struggling to stay human. It's the drama and intensity of medical training mixed with the funny, sexy, painful lives of interns who are about to discover that neither medicine nor relationships can be defined in black and white. Real life only comes in shades of grey."
