Greys’ Anatomy is a TV show on ABC that began in 2005 and is currently on it’s 16th season. It focuses around Meredith Grey the daughter of a world famous surgeon who recently died from Alzheimers, and an alcoholic father who she later reconnects with. The show follows her life from when she began as an intern and eventually up to her becoming an attending at her own hospital. Throughout this show, she reconnects with her biological sister Maggie, meets her husband Derek, and has 3 kids. Together, Meredith and Derek adopted their first kid Zola, who was a pro-bono patient from Africa. Later on they have 2 kids of their own, Bailey and Ellis. Her husband Derek, a neurosurgeon at the same hospital, dies in a car crash right before the birth of their 3 child, Bailey, who was named after the boss of the hospital. Throughout all 16 seasons, she meets friends like Alex and Christina, who are also her co-workers, who help her through the hard times of losing her husband and surviving a plane crash. In an earlier season, the main characters were on a private plane to deliver donor organs to another patient at another hospital. The plane ended up crashing which causes trauma for all of them that they all work to overcome. Many of them suffered injuries and all had to find each other and get help after the plane had crashed. In the current season, Meredith is at risk of losing her medical license over insurance fraud. A newly Hispanic man who recently immigrated to America couldn’t afford a surgery for his daughter and applied for aid from the government but wasn’t eligible for financial help. He was working 2 jobs while it was just him and his daughter in America and the rest of the family was back in Mexico. Meredith seeing this wants to help so she says it was her own daughter who was receiving the surgery. Her best friend Alex, and the former boss Richard, both knew and helped her perform the surgery. This results in all of them being fired and forced to find other hospitals to work at. Despite Meredith owning the hospital. Meredith has to do community service as a consequence which she often skips to look after her children and ends up in federal prison for 30 days. While she is in prison, her sister Maggie and boyfriend look after her children but it is difficult for Meredith to not be at work or not around her kids. For Alex and Richard, they find a new hospital to work at which is a low rated hospital that doesn’t have the resources to properly take care of patients. They are trying to turn the hospital around so that patients can receive good care but nothing seems to be working. I really enjoy this TV show because I find the medical world very interesting and I like how they also focus on the medical advancements being made each day through research and testing.
