I totally agree with you here!!

Come on, it was great - I loved it.

Sure it wasn't terribly realistic at parts - who would want to watch it if it were realistic? It's kinda boring to just watch people do scut all day. I do think in general they captured the pressure surgery interns feel to try not to show the fact that they are scared to death on their first day, the pressure to make a good impression and try not to be that guy who gets the repuation of the weak one from day one. It captured the traditional feel of the intimidating cheifs and attendings typically associated with surgery residencies.

For some specific arguments to above comments...It probably wasn't that the guy forgot the causes of post-op fever - he just froze under the pressure of being pimped in front of everyone - very realistic even for a pompous jerk like this character. And maybe you don't have to run a code or tell a family of a patient's death on your first day, but the first day you do have to do it feels just as bad as they made it look in the show that it might as well be your first day so at least you can get that first time over with. As they showed, not everything we do is glamorous (hot chick doing rectal exams all day, high-powered attending losing a patient on the table), but some of it is really cool, and really fun.

Finally - a show that makes the surgery residents look like the hard-working heros we are (instead of letting the general public think ER docs are the life-savers of the hospital). Again, I liked it.

Did anyone notice that the spelling "Grey" is different from the "Gray" as in Henry Gray's anatomy? I wonder if this because of copywrite issues, or just the show's creators trying to be cutesy....

It must be because the narrator's name is Meredith Grey. So like it's her story, not just Gray's. 🙂

i havent decided if i like the show or not, but whenever i watch these medical dramas, i never try to find the medical inaccuracies. relax folks. it's not how it is in the hospital... nor would i want it to be... we're in the hospital for 10-12 hours a day, why would we want more then that?

plus, scrubs is far more accurate then any other medical show that i know of... 😀

ER pretty much is as unrealistic as it gets.

Dr. House?? Crap.

Scrubs...funny as hell and probably as close as it gets to reality.

Grey's Anatomy...nice try but swing and a miss.

Chicago Hope: Haha, remember that one? Yup, it sucked.

i think she is pretty hot in an older woman kind of way. she looks too old to be an intern... she doesn't have that fresh-faced look that screams "intern". she looks like she's been around the block a bunch of times already. but she's still pretty hot.
