Grey's Anatomy is the first American mainstream TV series I started following. It's the only english speaking drama where I have watched every single episode. At the moment, its the only show I watch both on television and from the internet. At the moment, I am watching last week's episode. In less than three hours this week's episode will come out out! Can you sense my excitement? Those that I have shared my glee from this show with knows to roll their eyes every single time I bring it up, haha yes wl I'm referring to you.
It's hard to believe that less than a year ago I had no idea what Grey's Anatomy was. I barely even knew Grey's Anatomy was a doctor show. Today, if you were to bring out Trivia Pursuit - Grey's Anatomy's Edition, oh the game is..on! I came upon the show accidental. I have a television in my room that has one channel- CTV. My family kind of just threw it in there because they have no where else to dump it. I rarely turned on that piece of electronic, but that night I did. It was the season five finale (or maybe the week before the finale). For those that have watched it, you will likely recall how intense it was! For those that do not follow the show, believe me when I say 99% of the shows leave you jaw dropped, gripping the sofa arm, and wishing for your own handsome intern to flirt with - figuratively speaking of course! So that night I watched the rest of two hour episode. Even with no idea about who the characters were, the plot, or the show I was so absorbed into it! It wasn't until at least fifteen minutes of being captivated by the show that I realized that this show must be Grey's Anatomy. I made a note to watch the next week's episode, which was the season finale and that is how I started my committed relationship with Grey's Anatomy. Before Grey's Anatomy I followed the Amazing Race. (I still would LOVE LOVE LOVE to go on that show. I'm personally a somewhat anti-American person, ha.. I hope I didn't just inflict political threat upon myself with that comment, but I would become an American citizen (temporarily) to go on that show!) I ended my fling with the Amazing Race for Grey's Anatomy. Following two TV shows was just too much (yes I realized it's actually a totally of two hours a week...but I couldn't afford that type of commitment).
I love the character Christina Yang! She is so awkward, so competitive, so heartless and yet so emotional in the show. Her drive is amazing and her intelligence is to be envied...though she does have really weird eyebrows.
Doctor Bailey is the lady to watch out for! She is the petite lady in the hospital that everybody is afraid of and respects. She is a workaholic and has lost her family because of it. She said a line that I feel can sum up to be the "story of my life." "I can't do everything, and still expect to have everything." I think any individual that has experienced certain experiences will understand the power in this short simple sentence. I think in time, everyone would be able to relate to Doctor Bailey at that particular moment.
I love the science behind the show! I am so glad I took grade 11 biology. When I'm watching the show I actually know what they are referring to! When I'm at the doctor's office I understand what the doctor is trying to explain to me. When somebody says, "gall bladder" I know what they are talking about! Watching the show keeps giving me the urge to go become a doctor myself, though I kind of know.. I'm not the blood..survive..actually get into medical school type. Being in a hospital makes me want to be a doctor too... well I decided to be more realistic. In the fall I went to Sick Kids and I "decided" that one point in life I want to be a nurse in a children's hospital. Nurses are so high in demand, yet so under-appreciated. They probably spend the most time with the patients; they are the ones that ease those young children when they are carried through the emergency doors....
Yesterday, I was on thestar.com and there was an article on Grey's Anatomy and other doctor shows. The article stated how these shows are giving false impressions of our medical systems yet are beneficial because it exposes the medical system to more people (thus expanding people's general medical knowledge).
Here is the link to the article if you're interested.. and isn't it the darnest thing that those doctor and intern lives is not reality? ;p

I forgot to mention. When I saw that first episode of Grey's Anatomy it was in the end of May. After that episode from TV I turned to the internet and watched the first season (which was 10 episodes) in probably less than a week. I was so hooked! The first season was SO GOOD! However, there was exams and I had 8 exams last year so I forced myself to stop watching it! After exams however, within like 3 weeks in July I watched the next 4 seasons (each season has about 20 episodes and each episode is one hour)! I would come home from an long 8 hour day work at camp and just sit down in front of the computer and watch this amazing amazing show! I was so concerned for my eyes....but it was just sooo good!
Today is a Thursday night and I've already come home, cleaned my room, had jk come over, had the most awesome girl chat with her, watched a whole episode of Grey's Anatomy, and blogged! Maybe today will be a good Thursday. Maybe I would be able to turn all T-days of the week around!
