Little Bit about the show
Meredith is a first year surgical intern at Seattle Grace Hospital, the toughest
surgical residency program west of Harvard. She and fellow first-year interns Cristina Yang, Izzie Stevens, George O'Malley
and Alex Karev were students yesterday. Today they're doctors and, in a world where on the job training can be a matter of
life and death, they're all juggling the ups and downs of their own personal lives.
The five interns struggle to form
friendships in this most stressful and competitive atmosphere. Meredith's medical ambition is overshadowed by a troubling
secret: Her mother, a noted pioneering surgeon, is struggling with a tragic and devastating illness. Cristina is a study in
contradiction; highly competitive and driven, she eschews any favors in order to make it on her own. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens
is the small-town girl who grew up dirt poor and, in spite of paying for her medical career by modeling, still struggles with
her self-esteem. George O'Malley is the warm but insecure boy next door who always manages to do or say the wrong thing at
the wrong time. In spite of his attraction to women, he's treated as "just one of the girls." And Alex Karev, the intern the
other interns love to have, masks his working class roots with arrogance and ambition.
