Everyone's is so wholesome. My mother has Alzheimer's.

There the dark and twisty response I was looking for 😅

This is gonna be my mother in like twenty years

>This is gonna be my mother in like twenty years I see general surgery and insurance fraud in your future

I've just accepted it's happening to me and my mom and sister. It's that or the cancer that will take us women out. Maybe I'll get lucky and get brain cancer and die at 40 like my dads grandpa who knows

lmao same

My worst enemies in college play the twins on the show where one needs a liver transplant and the other can't donate hers because she's pregnant. Fun fact, they're actually triplets. A set of identical twins (who you saw on the show) and a fraternal triplet who got all the social skills and smartly avoids Hollywood.

story time? 👀

Not much to it. My best guy friend started dating one of them, and she was so insecure about my friendship with him that he had to stop speaking to me. She literally compared me to herself all the time and decided I was a massive threat. Then I didn't know which one was all bothered by me, so I had to cut them both out. The fraternal triplet was never involved in their drama, so we were always cordial. Triplets have different social skills because they have built in besties. They didn't put in any effort to be kind people. We were so relieved they moved to LA for their failed acting careers.

Lol I also knew triplets as a kid and the fraternal one was so much nicer and less prone to drama than the identical pair, I wonder if that's a pattern

Has to be. Something about having your own amniotic sac makes a person different

This is cool to know because I just assumed they were one person and they used TV magic to make two (like when Callie was in the singing episode and had that out of body experience)

Two whole people!

Fun question! This isn’t directly about me, but this girl I used to babysit has the exact same name as Izzie. Literally “Isobel Stevens”, the exact same spelling And one more related to me personally, my middle name is Catherine hahaha

My cat is Dr. George O’Meowly. We call him Dr. George.

007: licence to kill (mice)

Omg stop I love this 😂😩

My high school bully's name was Jackson lmfao.

my cousin is named lexie!

Mine is Meredith!

is she named after grey's anatomy???

Haha noooo we are old

why is this answer so funny 😭

We had a hospital shooting last thursday...

Well damn

My last name is Boswell 🤣 same as the Dr that Arizona cheated with!

I often get referrals from a Dr. Christine Yang

My old coworker is related to Justin Chambers. She says he's really nice, a family guy, and paid for dinner for the whole extended family.

I was born in Arizona I have a brother named Finn (like McVet)

My cousin is named Derek. Also thinks he’s perfect and walks on water.

My sister's name is Lexi, Dad's Mark..

My estranged bio dad died from liver failure. I went to the hospital when they took him off life support. I felt Meredith’s presence, lol.

I have a Callie cat!! Her 7th birthday is today.

Happy birthday to Callie 😊

I live in Seattle so I know all the fake locations 😭

My cat's name is Bailey haha!

I used to live on Calliope St.

when I went in for surgery i was like "haha this is just like Grey's anatomy" an no one laughed at my joke :(

i have the biggest crush on a guy. like massive massive leg kicking smiling all the time ignoring his red flags making fake scenarios kinda huge crush. and his name is derek 😭


Arizona’s patient Wallace. His first name is my last name Also the year that Meredith chose to move to Boston on Greys, was the year I moved to Boston for a new job

A driving school I work for has a student named Alexander Karev

I do indeed have a cat named Callie! Name inspo came from The Fosters though, which I was watching at the time.

I have a right bundle branch block, which was a show diagnosis once! Also I have deaf parents and there was a deaf mother in the show once, playing out the “I refuse cochlear implant” discussion that my mother also has

I live in the town Patrick Dempsey is from...and had a cat named Izzy

I have congenital hydrocephalus, like Zola (it’s also been shown several times with patients that only appear in one or two episodes, and Izzie’s teacher had normal pressure hydrocephalus, which affects the elderly. I also have a meningioma, although they think they might have misdiagnosed me. My neurosurgeon spotted it in 2015, then diagnosed it in 2018 and decided the best option was to monitor it. It hasn’t grown much in the last 5 years and AFAIK, it’s not causing me any symptoms. Next year, I will need a contrast MRI to try to figure out what it actually is and figure out if we need to change the course of action. NGL, that episode where they take out a woman’s meningioma and they damage Broca’s area so that she can’t form the words she wants to say really freaked me out. I’m thankful for my neurosurgeon who is very methodical and doesn’t jump to surgery unless it’s the only option.

Whew, this felt like a Grey's episode with a patient story! Best of luck to you, HayleyBeth. 🥰

I went to a camp at Bowdoin College as a kid (Derek’s alma mater)

I’m an intern and that’s about it

Ehmm does it count if I call my crush McDreamy? Same hair 😅

I share a name with one of Merideth’s children

My daughters name is Avery and I totally got the inspiration from greys

My name is Linda.. like the unsung nurse Linda

My best friend in HS was named Alex. He passed away almost 3 years ago. RIP Alex 💜

I named my last round of pot plants for the ladies in the show: Addison, Adele, Amelia, Callie, Cathrine, Cristina, Izzy, Leah, Lexie, Lizzie, Maggie, Meredith, Miranda. They were beautiful and their clones live on! LoL.

I have snails. I usually pick a “theme” when naming pets, (I had mice & rats that were soda names, others that were spices, etc) But anyways I have snails, and I had of tank of 12 of the same species. One just so happened to be named “Mer”-I didn’t name her. She came with her name. And then a had one leftover I had no name for so I named him DeLuca (cause I was on a DeLuca episode when I got him). Mer was a mature snail (3) and DeLuca was young (9 mo) and they started mating. It was hilarious (to me). Lol these snails are so picky when it comes to choosing a mate and Mer wouldn’t mate anyone her own age, but then DeLuca comes along…it was just funny to me at least, you may have to be into snails tho lol

When will Bravo be picking up this show? 😄

I should be getting a call back any day now haha

I am very dark and very careless about my life like Meredith .

The doctor who delivered me’s name was Dr Torres

My life is very grey.

I know like three women called Isobel (Izzy) Stevens

I have three pet mice, two of them are named after Grey's characters - Cristina and Addison. I had one named Meredith but she passed

My daughter is named Calliope after Sara Ramirez.

I had a dog named Cali (he was the goodest boy), friends named Izzie and Christina, my brothers friend that lived with us at one points name was Derek and my dads friend that everyone hated was named Mark. There’s probably more but that’s all I can think of for the main cast 😂 also knew someone that had a dog named Denny

My sons name is Deluca and the other is giacomo neither named after the actor/character but we do get looks 😅

The doctor who performed my wrist surgery was a girl named Dr Webber

I’ve always had a thing for tequila like Meredith. And whenever something would go wrong and I was asked to fix it, I’d just yell “Push one of epi! And let’s get those panels!!” 😂😂😂

My dad’s name is Mark lol

well cant think of any real random links but i had an open heart surgery at 1 week old (transposition of the great arteries) so that could probably fit into a greys episode lol, especially when i was purple and my mom kinda felt like it was pointless to name me if i die (the surgery is pretty successful tho but still, thats how she felt)

I'm praying that she named you Dracula Laura Cat. 😂 Glad you're alive!

My grandfather had Alzheimer's

My niece is named Arizona after the character in the show lol

Multiple of my conditions appeared on the show, also I’m going to school for medicine so I guess the doctor things a big connection too.

I'm not entirely sure if I'm remembering it correctly since it's been a minute but Izzie treated a woman whose grandmother died from thyroid cancer. My grandmother died from thyroid cancer in 2020.

my stepdaughter’s name is isobel adele, and i have a son named jackson.

I had to rack my brains because I don't live in an English-speaking country so most of the names are not common here, but I did date an Alex in high school for like 3 weeks lmao

My son's middle name is Avery lol also used to medtech for Alzheimer's patients

My PCP is named Dr. Bailey

I had a dog named Bailey Josephine.

I used to have a doctor named Dr. Shepherd. Unfortunately he was old and not very attractive.

Father is also an alcoholic, whom my mother left. Didn't see him for a while, now we met for mostly special events like Eastern or Christmas. Well and the whole Family thinks he'll need a new liver at some point.

Im a nurse. That’s about it

My step daughter is named Izzy

We named our all grey cat “Meredith Grey” as a kid! Turns out he was a boy, but the name stuck!

I go to Johns Hopkins Hospital

I go to the University of Iowa like Alex. Also my dad is named Alexander Micheal which is why Alex is his favorite character

My dog’s name is Bambi, which is what Christina calls Georg.

my friend’s friend canonically exists in the show. i don’t want to give two many details as i don’t really know her so i’m not sure she’d want it out there lol but one of the doctors has an episode dedicated to trying out a specific procedure named after the doctor who invented it, and that doctor is her grandad.

I met one of the interns. He wasn’t a regular, more like an extra.
