Although I was never someone who liked to jump on bandwagons when other people are obsessed with things. When Twilight came out, I read the books, but didn’t break my neck to make sure that I saw all the films. When Hunger games was brought to the theaters, I refused to even look at the books. For once, I decided that maybe I would bite the bullet this one time and watch Grey’s Anatomy. After I started the show, I became hooked. Here’s 10 reasons as to why I believe that you should jump on the band wagon and start watching Grey’s.

1. It teaches you about medicine.

The show explains diseases, medical terms and how to perform surgical procedures as we learn along with the interns just what it means to be a doctor.

2. It has a ton of episodes which is great because you won’t finish it too soon and be upset that it’s over.

Grey’s has 13 seasons with an average of 25 episodes per season, planning to watch something, the sooner you get started, the sooner you can enjoy it.

3. The characters are relatable.

Each character has a very unique personality, this gives everyone someone that they can relate to; whether it’s Meredith Grey, George O’Malley or Cristina Yang, everyone can find someone that they relate to on a personal level.

4) It shows you that doctors are people too!

Most people would believe that just because a doctor’s job is to heal people and save lives, they that is their only purpose in life. Grey’s allows us to see beyond the gloves and scrubs and see that doctors are people just like the rest of us.

5) It’s a show of many genres.

For a show about doctors, it’s not all blood and surgical masks, the show offers romance, comedy, adventure, action, drama, horror (blood) and even relates to families.

6) It shows you what happens “behind the scenes,” at hospitals

Hospitals aren’t just about people who are injured or sick getting better, it’s also about how people (doctors) do everything they can to make sure they save lives. It shows the struggles that the doctors go through to ensure proper procedures and making sure to measure out the correct dosages to medication to make sure to not over medicate/under medicate their patients.

7) You realize you have a “person”

On episode 1 of season 2, Cristina Yang explains to Meredith Gray just what being her “person,” means and then you realize who your “person,” is.

8) The story line is well written.

The show offers episodes that will make you laugh till you cry as well as cry till you can’t stop crying. Once you get into the show, the writers hit you with a plot twist that will make you binge watch 10 episodes in a row to find out what happens next.

9) You become more empathetic about people you’ve never met.

With every new patient that come into Grey-Sloan Memorial Hospital, we begin to relate to them once we hear why they’re in the hospital. We also begin to relate to their families as they patiently wait to hear about “our,” patient.

10) Its just a really good show!

Once you sit down to watch the show you will realize that it’s everything you’ve hoped for and better!

So stop what you’re doing (unless it’s homework, then keep working on it), get on Netflix and jump on the Grey’s Anatomy bandwagon!
