Grey’s Anatomy Intensive Care Is Drama At Its Best

Grey’s Anatomy is a heart-wrenching abc channel program as well as one of the most sensational Drama Shows. It was topped off yet again on TV March 19th when Christina (Sandra Oh) approached Izzie (Katherine Heigl) after her disclosure about Izzie’s health conditions to Alex, (Miranda) Bailey, George and Meredith. An emotionally tense moment ensued when Christina encouraged Izzie to fight and not give up and was impeccably portrayed as Izzie graciously yet fiercely thanked Christina for her concern. The look on Christina’s face was marked with a dismal tone and Izzie was scared and lost, thinking about her fate. Christina sweetly reached out to Izzie and held her hand as Izzie stared off into the distance.

This story continues on Thursday March 26th @ 9/8c in the cancer wing of Seattle Grace Hospital. Izzie is prepped for her many surgeries and procedures that will be taking place as well as informed by the staff of exactly what is going to happen and when. Miranda (Chandra Wilson) speaks to Christina, Meredith and Alex in the hallway about how important it is that the three of them are truly there for Izzie as her friends. Izzie has a stage four Metastatic Melanoma, a liver problem, and a temporal lobe brain lesion. She is told that her eggs will be harvested before she undergoes any radiation therapy as well as that chemotherapy is necessary, aggressively. Dr. Derek “McDreamy” Shepherd (Patrick Dempsey) is ready to do her upcoming surgery on the temporal lobe lesion and can remove all of it, pending upon if the margins are clear.

Izzie has four weeks to have three surgeries as well as seven outpatient procedures done. This nail-biting program keeps growing in its fervor and tribulations considerately as well as competently. Chief resident Bailey’s finesse is to be admired and her strength shines as she attempts to balance her personal and professional life. Alex (Justin Chambers), George (T.R. Knight), and Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) each continue to skillfully ascend in their residencies. With interns to mentor, their routines include assisting Meredith’s half-sister Lexie. George (after his divorce with Callie and breakup with Izzie) is Lexie’s roommate and just recently failed his residency test by only a point.

Alex has had plenty on his plate as well. On his own he attended to his girlfriend’s mental instability as well as his mother’s. Alex and Izzie were getting closer as well. But when all is said and done, what will become of Izzie Stevens and Alex Karev? And what will happen between McDreamy and Meredith? Will Izzie survive the havoc that is attacking her body? Will Meredith’s therapy be enough to keep her gravitated by Dr. Shepherd’s love as they fluctuate between the highs and lows of a committed relationship? And what of Chief of Surgery Richard Webber resuming his relationship with his ex-wife Adele? These doctors deal with every shade of grey in reality (as they also do as Celebrities). In one another they find the comfort, love and friendship that they need to survive. Grey’s Anatomy is in its fifth outstanding season.

ER Versus Grey’s Anatomy - Which One’s Better?

I’m a long time fan of ER - I have been watching it since the very first episode in 1994. ER is an Emmy Award-winning American medical drama series created by the late novelist Michael Crichton and airing on NBC. It is set primarily in the emergency room of fictional County General Hospital in Chicago, Illinois. It is produced by Constant c Productions and Amblin Entertainment in association with Warner Bros. Television Production, Inc. It is probably one of the most thought provoking, action packed, funniest shows I have ever and will ever watch. So, ya I am a big ER fan. But I have also watched Grey’s Anatomy as well. Grey’s Anatomy is an American prime time medical drama. It debuted on ABC as a mid-season replacement for Boston Legal on March 27th, 2005, immediately following Desperate Housewives. The title of the show is inspired by the classic medical textbook Gray’s Anatomy.

The series revolves around Dr. Meredith Grey, played by Ellen Pompeo, who began the show as a surgical intern at Seattle Grace Hospital in Seattle, Washington. Both sound like awesome shows right? Well they are! As for which is better? I think that depends on you. Personally, I like ER better. But I am biased because as aforementioned I “grew up” watching ER. I went through the deaths, the leaves, and the sicknesses. Funny how much a show can mean to you, isn’t it? Maybe to some people they can disconnect themselves. But for me? Dr. Green made me cry (especially the flashbacks). It sucked when Abby decided to leave. And you always felt really bummed when you missed an eppie on accident! As for Grey’s Anatomy, you know we all love McDreamy and McSteamy, and watching all of them co-habit the hospital can just be plain hilarious. For me, watching Grey’s is like being back in high school. If that makes sense, then you know exactly where I’m coming from. And if not, then you must have skipped school a lot!

Personally, for anyone out there, I would say don’t get involved with ER. Because after many years it is finally ending! Although you could always go ahead and rent the old DVDs on Netflix or something! However, Grey’s is probably going to be around for a while! So if this is something that you like - action/comedy/drama all wrapped up into one in a hospital type show - I say Grey all the way! One really cool thing you can do to find out more about Grey’s Anatomy is to visit a few TV blogs available online. These are completely free and you can get to know all your Grey friends, who they are, where you have seen them before, show previews, etc. I highly recommend these types of sites! They can become incredibly addicting just like that of your prime time TV show addictions!

How Can I Find Out More About Grey’s Anatomy?

At first blush, a lot of people probably stick with the TV guide (paper). But for me? I haven’t read one of those things in forever. The only reason I buy them is for the crossword puzzle in the back. However, I do need my television fix and I do need to find out more about my addictions. For example, Grey’s Anatomy. This has become another one of the biggest prime time “ER” type shows around. In fact, I think they have the show ER to thank for their success! Enter the world of Seattle Grace Hospital, where resident physicians and interns strive to become the best surgeons in the country — but first they must tread the muddy waters of life, love and relationships. The series focuses around Meredith Grey, a surgical resident physician trying to live up to the repute of her famous mother, the brilliant Dr. Ellis Grey. After spending years taking care of her Alzheimer-stricken mother (who has since passed on) and failing to have a healthy relationship with a man, Meredith continues to try to have a committed relationship with Dr. Derek Shepard (a.k.a. McDreamy).

Sound good? It should! It’s only one of my favorites - along with millions of others. This show is awesome because not only does it have a lot of intellect but there is a lot of real feelings behind the show. Its fantasy but its reality. I mean how many of you women out there have the same problems as Meredith?!? I’m guessing a few (a lot) of you! This show truly brings a genuinely good shows to people like you and me. But if you haven’t ever watched this show and you want to know more you might have been wondering how you can find out more. In comes the television websites and blogs. These blogs can help introduce you to McDreamy and the rest of the crew over at Seattle Grace Hospital along with character and show guides, schedules, trivia and much more. I love sites like this. It can really get you in the mood for the show and it can get those of you that have never watched it - interested in watching it. Or trying it out anyway.

You can also watch video previews. These previews are small little “clip its” of the show. This way you can also get an idea about the show and what goes on in the show. These aren’t crappy little videos either. They are really high quality - some of the best I have ever seen. So, if you want to know more about Grey’s Anatomy or you think you might be interested in getting to know the show a little more? These are the best sites for you to check out. Very user-friendly (easy to find what you are looking for), very informative and very fun! I know I could spend hours on sites such as these!
