Becoming a doctor is no easy task. Just ask the 5 resident interns on the show Grey’s Anatomy, who are all struggling to become doctors in an environment that makes it very hard to maintain any sense of a “normal” life. Together, the 5 interns—Meredith Grey, Cristina Yang, Izzie Stevens, George O’Malley, and Alex Karev—are embarking on a journey towards becoming doctors. While they used to be reading out of textbooks, today they are doctors in a real hospital in real life. The ABC series Grey’s Anatomy, named after Meredith, is a drama/comedy that chronicles their journey.

Led by their senior resident trainer Miranda Bailey, nicknamed “The Nazi” for her overbearing ways, Meredith and her four companions learn from Derek Sheperd, the surgeon who frequently finds himself in flirty situations with Meredith. The interns range from Izzie, the small-town girl with humble beginnings, to George, the boy next door-type of guy. Unlike other hospital dramas though, Grey’s Anatomy focuses more on the relationships established by the interns than on the work going on within the hospital. Can all of them successfully become doctors in this trying world of medicine?

Set to resume again this season at 10PM on Sunday nights (ABC), Grey’s Anatomy clearly contradicts the topics covered in the preceding show, Desperate Housewives, but instead offers a welcomed change from the sexually based issues. Those who have been interested in shows like ER will most likely find that this show covers a similar ground but employs younger actors with more worries about life. Everyone has wondered about their chosen occupation and struggled to make it against a “Nazi” of a boss. Most people have had to start at the bottom and have struggled to climb up the corporate ladder. Join the cast of Grey’s Anatomy as they try doing the same thing. Becoming a doctor is no easy task. Living your life can be even harder though.
