‘Grey's Anatomy' misses mark on romances March 20, 2007 Galveston County Daily News, March 19, 2007 GALVESTON - Is there a Dr. McDreamy working on the island? Residents at the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston say it's possible. There are a few faculty members who catch the attention of young residents, fresh out of med school, just like Dr. Derek Shepherd does on television. Dr. James Dowling, a first-year resident at UTMB, saw several female co-workers swooning over an older UTMB employee recently. But for the most part, the melodrama and oversexed lives of the surgical interns at the fictional Seattle Grace Hospital on ABC's "Grey's Anatomy" is pure fiction. Dr. Grace Huang, a third-year anesthesiologist resident at UTMB, said the show often treats surgery as the only specialty needed to run a hospital. "It seems like the surgeons on the show run the entire hospital," she said. "There's no internal medicine, no emergency doctors. In real life, there are other physicians that you really consult with every day." Huang said she stopped watching the show because she got offended when it twice depicted anesthesiologists poorly. « Back | The Newsroom »
