Only A True Grey’s Anatomy Fan Would Score 100% On This Meredith Grey Quiz

10.1K Shares

Grey's Anatomy just finished up its 13th season, yet it's still ABC's highest rated drama series. Why? Because it's addicting, that's why! If you're not a fan, chances are someone close to you is. The show revolves around the personal life and surgical career of Meredith Grey and her friends from the hospital. Although, the show has evolved making everyone just as important as Meredith is, herself. In fact, the majority of the characters who have left, or have been killed off (in horrible ways) left fans griping a box of tissues for two to three episodes apiece.

However, it isn't long before a new character slides quietly (or loudly), into place, leaving fans wondering how they got attached to this stranger so quickly. The doctors all lead complicated, messy lives. Interns, residents, and surgeons can't seem to keep their scrubs on. The hospital isn't drama-free, either. It's a magnet for catastrophic events, on-call room quickies, and spats. Meanwhile, there are incoming patients in dire need of surgical care. Each patient has a story that draws the surgeons and you into their lives. Add that to a little action and extremely gory surgical cases, and you've get Grey's Anatomy! It's exciting, complicated, dramatic, and we love it!

True fans love every character on Grey's Anatomy, but it wouldn't make sense without Meredith Grey. It was Mer's story that first drew fans to the show. It's Meredith that Shonda Rhimes counts on to make the show tick. So, let's see how well you know Grey's Anatomy, because only a true Grey's Anatomy fan would score 100% on this Meredith Grey quiz.
