 "Click to view larger image")
The story follows the lives of a group of surgical interns. While they have graduated medical school they still have to pass the arduous specialized training to become fully qualified surgeons.
Long hours and intense competition take their toll on them physically as well as emotionally. Title character Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo) is increasing her surgical skills but cannot get out from under the shadow of her mother, Ellis Grey (Kate Burton). Ellis was once a ground breaking surgeon but now is in the grip of Alzheimer's disease.
To complicate matters, she once had an affair with the current Chief of Surgery, Dr. Richard Webber (James Pickens Jr.). This makes it difficult for Webber to be objective when it comes to Meredith. She is torn in a love triangle with her immediate superior, Dr. Derek Shepherd (Patrick Dempsey), better know to Meredith and her cabal as McDreamy.
In season two he has broken up with Meredith and returned to his cheating wife, pediatric surgeon extraordinaire Addison Shepherd (Kate Walsh). McDreamy tries to balance a professional relationship and friendship with his former amour but for some reason this bothers his wife. Living with Meredith in her mother’s old house are Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens (Katherine Heigl) who worked her way through medical school modeling bras and panties, and nice guy Dr. George O'Malley (T.R. Knight). Izzie is in an on again off again relationship with another intern Alex Karev (Justin Chambers) while George longs for Meredith. As if this was not complicated enough throw in another intern Cristina Yang (Sandra Oh) who is living with a senior surgeon, Preston Burke (Isaiah Washington) aka McChokey. Directly overseeing the young surgeons is Dr. Miranda Bailey (Chandra Wilson).
