Season Seventeen
Episode One – Four. The first few episodes of Grey’s Anatomy takes us to the reality of the Covid 19 pandemic. I’m so glad that they decided to address this issue. It’s so real to see how the hospital admission has changed; how the staff is effected by our new normal.
Meredith is working non stop helping hospital patients. Her kids are with Amelia while she works. Meredith catches Covid and is the hospital on a respirator. She starts having dreams of Derek and George which makes you think she is on the verge of dying. She needs to pick a new person that would make decisions for her when she can’t. Alex is that person but is out of the country, so she chooses Dr. Weber. She gets really bad and looses consciousness. Her friends are fighting to get her in a new trial but at first, Dr. Weber refuses but laters gives in when he sees her not waking up.
Other members of the cast continue to face the realities of Covid 19 and patients dying. They are dealing with having to tell the families that their loved ones have died. They are also afraid of catching the virus themselves. The show is looking into the seriousness of wearing a mask, social distancing and the care the patients have to get once they encounter the virus.
Great season so far and will be worth watching.
