Grey's Night
Posted 11:42 PM, September 07, 2006, by tenfordeJust because we're going to become doctors doesn't mean we don't have an appetite to passively watch an overly dramatic portrayal of the profession. ABC sought our 18-35 year old niche and tada: Grey's Anatomy!
My house consists of Jess, Alana, Kate, and me. We've all become obsessed with the show Grey's Anatomy, and in passing conversation learned that our classmates have become infatuated with this television drama. It has been exciting to start a Grey's Anatomy night. The first episode of the third season begins on September 21st, and to gauge interest I started a Grey's Night sign-up sheet to see about making the first episode a medical student event. I was surprised to find that out of 86 students, 56 signed up (more surprising for me is that the other 30 didn't sign up)!
ABC is currently showing the reruns, so we made an open invitation to the class to come by and enjoy some home-cooked brownies and watch the show. It was a pretty relaxing way to spend the evening watching people act as doctors on television while we concurrently are learning how to act as doctors. So everyone, actors and students alike, is learning how to act like doctors. Who knew we had so much in common!

Can non-med students come too? Maybe neighbors? ;-)
Adam: Definitely, hope to see you on Thursday!

You are absolutely correct, you can never get enough Grey's Anatomy. When you are hooked to Desperate Housewives, however, you need to admit that you have a problem...and Adam...I have a problem! Nice Blog!

Infatuated is a good word; completely immobilized at the mere suggestion of Grey’s Anatomy is another way of describing my feelings for the show. Plus, I think the only reason 30 of our classmates did not sign the petition is because the sheet disappeared before they got a chance to add their name! The nightly brownies are an added bonus too!
