<P><B>Meredith Grey</B>, <A href="/wiki/Doctor_of_Medicine" title="Doctor of Medicine">M.D.</A> is a <A href="/wiki/Fictional_character" class="mw-redirect" title="Fictional character">fictional character</A> from the <A href="/wiki/Medical_drama" title="Medical drama">medical drama</A> television series <I><A href="/wiki/Grey%27s_Anatomy" title="Grey's Anatomy">Grey's Anatomy</A></I>, which airs on the <A href="/wiki/American_Broadcasting_Company" title="American Broadcasting Company">American Broadcasting Company</A> (ABC) in the <A href="/wiki/Television_in_the_United_States" title="Television in the United States">United States</A>. The character was created by series' producer <A href="/wiki/Shonda_Rhimes" title="Shonda Rhimes">Shonda Rhimes</A>, and is portrayed by actress <A href="/wiki/Ellen_Pompeo" title="Ellen Pompeo">Ellen Pompeo</A>. Meredith is the series' <A href="/wiki/Protagonist" title="Protagonist">protagonist</A>, and was introduced as a <A href="/wiki/Internship_(medicine)" title="Internship (medicine)">surgical intern</A> at the fictional Seattle Grace Hospital (later Seattle Grace-Mercy West, and afterwards Grey Sloan Memorial), eventually obtaining the position of a <A href="/wiki/Residency_(medicine)" title="Residency (medicine)">resident</A>, and later the position of an <A href="/wiki/Attending_physician" title="Attending physician">attending</A>, and in 2015, attaining the Chief of General Surgery position. As the daughter of world-renowned surgeon <A href="/wiki/List_of_Grey%27s_Anatomy_characters" title="List of Grey's Anatomy characters">Ellis Grey</A>, Meredith struggles with the everyday life of being in a competitive profession, maintaining the relationship with her <A href="/wiki/One-night_stand" title="One-night stand">one-night stand</A> and eventual husband <A href="/wiki/Derek_Shepherd" title="Derek Shepherd">Derek Shepherd</A> (deceased), her motherhood, and her friendships with her colleagues.</P>
<P>Meredith is the narrator of the show and serves as the focal point for most episodes. Pompeo's connection with <A href="/wiki/Patrick_Dempsey" title="Patrick Dempsey">Patrick Dempsey</A> (Derek Shepherd) is acclaimed as a high point of the series. Rhimes has characterized Meredith as not believing in good or bad, but instead doing what she thinks is right. Grey has been positively received by television critics, with Alessandra Stanley of <I><A href="/wiki/The_New_York_Times" title="The New York Times">The New York Times</A></I> referring to her as "the heroine of <I>Grey's Anatomy</I>". News of Pompeo leaving arose when it was made clear that her contract ended after the eighth season, and whether or not she would return to the series after her contract expires has been the centre of media speculation ever since. In 2016, Pompeo re-negotiated her contract and signed up for the thirteenth season of the show.</P>
<P>Pompeo's performance has been well received throughout the show and the character has gained widespread popularity worldwide.

<P>Dr. Meredith Grey is the daughter of world-renowned surgeon Ellis Grey, and grew up in her shadow. Ellis was a deeply flawed, emotionally and verbally abusive, neglectful mother towards her. Meredith is described as a "dark and twisty," damaged person who sees the world in varying shades of gray morality. Because of this, she is an emotionally complex person capable of empathizing with others when they're at their lowest points, and a sensitive observer of the people around her. Meredith is a graduate of <A href="/wiki/Dartmouth_College" title="Dartmouth College">Dartmouth College</A> and nearly did not attend med school due to conflicts with her mother. Meredith was directionless after obtaining her undergrad and had plans to sleep and party her way through Europe. After a month abroad, Meredith was called back to care for Ellis, who had developed early-onset <A href="/wiki/Alzheimer%27s_disease" title="Alzheimer's disease">Alzheimer's disease</A>, and Meredith obtained her M.D.</P>
<P>The night before Meredith's <A href="/wiki/Internship_(medicine)" title="Internship (medicine)">internship</A> begins, she has a <A href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/one-night_stand" class="extiw" title="wiktionary:one-night stand">one-night stand</A> with <A href="/wiki/Derek_Shepherd" title="Derek Shepherd">Derek Shepherd</A> (<A href="/wiki/Patrick_Dempsey" title="Patrick Dempsey">Patrick Dempsey</A>), a stranger she meets at a bar. She discovers the next day that he is the recently-hired <A href="/wiki/Attending_physician" title="Attending physician">attending</A> and new head of <A href="/wiki/Neurosurgery" title="Neurosurgery">neurosurgery</A> at her new workplace, Seattle Grace Hospital. Meredith is assigned to work under resident <A href="/wiki/Miranda_Bailey" title="Miranda Bailey">Miranda Bailey</A> (<A href="/wiki/Chandra_Wilson" title="Chandra Wilson">Chandra Wilson</A>), and befriends her fellow interns, <A href="/wiki/George_O%27Malley" title="George O'Malley">George O'Malley</A> (<A href="/wiki/T.R._Knight" class="mw-redirect" title="T.R. Knight">T.R. Knight</A>), <A href="/wiki/Izzie_Stevens" title="Izzie Stevens">Izzie Stevens</A> (<A href="/wiki/Katherine_Heigl" title="Katherine Heigl">Katherine Heigl</A>), <A href="/wiki/Cristina_Yang" title="Cristina Yang">Cristina Yang</A> (<A href="/wiki/Sandra_Oh" title="Sandra Oh">Sandra Oh</A>) and <A href="/wiki/Alex_Karev" title="Alex Karev">Alex Karev</A> (<A href="/wiki/Justin_Chambers" title="Justin Chambers">Justin Chambers</A>).</P>
<P>She is particularly close with Cristina Yang, who becomes her best friend and "person". Though she initially thinks poorly of him, Alex Karev also evolves into Meredith's "person" and the two assume a sibling-esque familial relationship. Meredith has a conflicted relationship with <A href="/wiki/Richard_Webber" title="Richard Webber">Richard Webber</A> (<A href="/wiki/James_Pickens_Jr." title="James Pickens Jr.">James Pickens Jr.</A>), the Chief of Surgery at Seattle Grace. Richard was very close to Ellis when Meredith was a child, which inclines him to save or mentor Grey and make exceptions for her. Meredith has a habit of "collecting strays", allowing her friends and coworkers to live in the house her mother left her and become her pseudo-family. Meredith is endlessly loyal to those she deems her family, and bends traditional morality as needed in order to keep them safe.</P>
<P>Having grown up in a hospital, Meredith shows immense natural talent. She possesses a steadfast, calm ease during medical procedures and emergencies, and is a natural observer of people. She exhibits a knack for catching subtle hints and accurately determining difficult-to-catch diagnoses. Her placid, non-judgmental bedside manner often causes people to open up and trust her. Her surgical skills are solidly impressive and she shows a talent and patience for medical research trials and dealing with psychologically damaged patients.</P>
<P>Meredith resists Derek's advances throughout her internship, but is eventually charmed into starting a relationship with him despite misgivings about an intern dating an attending. She is therefore shocked by the arrival of <A href="/wiki/Addison_Montgomery" title="Addison Montgomery">Addison Montgomery</A> (<A href="/wiki/Kate_Walsh_(actress)" title="Kate Walsh (actress)">Kate Walsh</A>), Derek's wife, unaware that he was married. Derek struggles to choose between the two, but ultimately returns to Addison, despite Meredith begging to be chosen instead.</P>
<P>Meredith is devastated and turns to multiple, self-destructive means of coping. Initially she falls on old habits of self-medicating with tequila and sex, and buys a dog. She also tries to resolve some issues by searching for her long-absent father, Thatcher. <SUP id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-1">[1]</A></SUP> She learns that her father, who left when she was five and she has not seen since, remarried and had two more daughters. The two do not become close, but Grey becomes fond of her stepmother.</P>
<P>Meredith spirals further when Ellis is admitted to the hospital, revealing Ellis' diagnosis of early-onset Alzheimer's and her verbally abusive tendencies. Meredith self-destructive behavior increases when she saves a patient with a bomb in their chest by impulsively inserting her hand to hold it until the bomb squad can remove it. Mereidth has a series of one-night stands, including one with George, who is in love with her. When she cries in the middle of their encounter, their friendship temporarily ends. Meredith swears off her behavior, agrees to be friends only with Shepherd, and embarks on a relationship with veterinarian <A href="/wiki/Finn_Dandridge" class="mw-redirect" title="Finn Dandridge">Finn Dandridge</A> (<A href="/wiki/Chris_O%27Donnell" title="Chris O'Donnell">Chris O'Donnell</A>).</P>
<P>Derek regrets his decision to return to his wife and Meredith must decide whether to continue a relationship with Finn, or allow Derek a second chance.</P>
<P>When Ellis experiences a rare, completely <A href="/wiki/Sanity" title="Sanity">lucid</A> day, and expresses her immense disappointment at how ordinary Meredith has turned out to be, she becomes depressed and possibly suicidal. During a ferryboat accident, Meredith is knocked into the water and chooses to give up and drown, rather than fight and swim. She <A href="/wiki/Flatline" title="Flatline">flatlines</A> at the hospital, and awakens in an "afterlife", where she interacts with deceased former acquaintances. Ellis dies in the interim, and Meredith meets with her mother, who tells her that she is anything but ordinary. She is subsequently <A href="/wiki/Cardiopulmonary_resuscitation" title="Cardiopulmonary resuscitation">resuscitated</A> at the insistence of Cristina. Derek distances himself from Meredith as the result of her self recklessness, prompting her to seek <A href="/wiki/Therapy" title="Therapy">therapy</A> to address her problems. Meredith sees a therapist, Dr. Wyatt (<A href="/wiki/Amy_Madigan" title="Amy Madigan">Amy Madigan</A>), to seek happiness and begins to successfully tackle her issues. Meredith found her mother's diaries, dredging up old memories and secrets for her to work through. Meanwhile, Meredith nearly fails her intern exam after a drunken Thatcher publicly blames Meredith for the death of his wife, Susan, a distraught Grey sits through her entire test without writing a single answer. Dr. Webber gives her a second chance, saving her from destroying her career.</P>
<P>After Meredith is promoted to a resident, her younger half-sister <A href="/wiki/Lexie_Grey" title="Lexie Grey">Lexie Grey</A> (<A href="/wiki/Chyler_Leigh" title="Chyler Leigh">Chyler Leigh</A>) begins working at Seattle Grace as an intern. Meredith initially rejects Lexie's attempts to form a relationship, but slowly softens towards her. The sisters are very different people with different childhoods. Lexie had an idealistic family life and often has difficulty understanding her much darker sister, who does not have the same positive associations with family as Lexie.</P>
<P>She later initiates a neurosurgical clinical trial, enlisting Derek as a consulting neurosurgeon. The trial fails repeatedly, but the final patient they treat survives, which leads them to reuniting and moving in together. Their relationship is healthier than before, but still experiences snags as the two attempt to understand each other and navigate what they now look on as a permanent, long-term relationship. Meredith relies heavily on Cristina for emotional support and guidance. Eventually, Derek and Meredith decide to marry, but on their wedding day, the pair give their "perfect" wedding ceremony to Izzie and Alex, to marry each other during the planned ceremony instead.</P>

The development of Grey and Shepherd's relationship, during season three, was disliked among television critics.</DIV>
</DIV>
</DIV>
<P>Meredith and Derek marry by writing their wedding vows on a <A href="/wiki/Post-it_note" title="Post-it note">post-it note</A>. Meredith spends the majority of a season out of commission after donating part of her liver to Thatcher and supporting Cristina's new relationship with Owen Hunt, an army doctor with worrisome <A href="/wiki/PTSD" class="mw-redirect" title="PTSD">PTSD</A>.</P>
<P>Mereduth experiences another immense trauma after the hospital is put under a lockdown from an active mass-shooter seeking revenge against Derek. Meredith offers her own life in exchange for his and <A href="/wiki/Miscarriage" title="Miscarriage">miscarries</A> her baby during the crisis. She goes through this traumatic experience with Cristina, who operates on Derek while threatened at gunpoint. Meredith hides her loss and the trauma psychiatrist refuses to clear neither Cristina nor Meredith for their return to surgery. Meredith is able to work through her issues and become cleared, but Cristina remains deeply traumatized. Meredith covers for and supports her friend through her dark time, but is ultimately unable to fully help her return to surgery.</P>
<P>Meredith decides to actively try to become pregnant, but learns that she has a "<A href="/wiki/Female_infertility" title="Female infertility">hostile uterus</A>", which leads her to consider her other possible genetic flaws. Derek, who is constantly worried about the possibility that she will develop Alzheimer's, initiates a clinical trial hoping to cure the disease. Meredith opts to work on the trial and appears to be leaning towards a neuro specialty.</P>
<P>When the chief of surgery, <A href="/wiki/Richard_Webber" title="Richard Webber">Richard Webber</A> (<A href="/wiki/James_Pickens_Jr." title="James Pickens Jr.">James Pickens Jr.</A>)'s wife, Adele, is diagnosed with Alzheimer's, she receives a spot on the trial. Meredith tampers with the drugs so that Adele does not receive the <A href="/wiki/Placebo" title="Placebo">placebo</A>. She and Derek decide to adopt Zola, an orphaned baby from <A href="/wiki/Malawi" title="Malawi">Malawi</A>, and make their marriage legal. When the truth about the tampering comes out, however, a furious Derek tells her he cannot raise a child with her because of her moral ambiguity. Meredith is fired, and tries to conceal both this and her marital separation from the <A href="/wiki/Adoption" title="Adoption">adoption counselor</A> in order to keep Zola. Although Dr. Webber steps down as chief of surgery and takes the blame for the trial tampering to protect Meredith, Zola is taken away. She and Derek reconcile. Meredith chooses a general specialty over neuro, and they successfully fight to get Zola back.</P>
<P>As her last year of residency is coming to a close, the residents travel around the country, searching for the best jobs in their <A href="/wiki/Specialty_(medicine)" title="Specialty (medicine)">specialties</A>. In order to finish their residency, the residents must take the <A href="/wiki/United_States_Medical_Licensing_Examination" title="United States Medical Licensing Examination">medical boards</A>. Meredith takes the exam while sick with the flu. She decides to take a job offer at The <A href="/wiki/Brigham_and_Women%27s_Hospital" title="Brigham and Women's Hospital">Brigham and Women's Hospital</A> as the next step in her career. During a medical flight to undertake a prestigious surgery involving conjoined twins, Meredith, Derek, Cristina, and Lexie, among others, are involved in an <A href="/wiki/Aviation_accident" class="mw-redirect" title="Aviation accident">aviation accident</A>. The plane crash kills Lexie, and the survivors are trapped in the wooded wilderness for days waiting for help. Following their rescue, Merdith becomes an <A href="/wiki/Attending_physician" title="Attending physician">attending</A> <A href="/wiki/General_surgery" title="General surgery">general surgeon</A> at Seattle Grace, now Seattle Grace-Mercy West. While Cristina flees Seattle for her fellowship, Meredith, afraid of flying and change, declines her job offer, and clings to what remains in Seattle. Cristina and Meredith begin calling the hospital Seattle Grace Mercy Death in light of the immense amount of trauma, death, and pain they have experienced there.</P>
<P>Meredith's newfound attitude and sarcasm leads to her being dubbed "<A href="/wiki/Medusa" title="Medusa">Medusa</A>" by the hospital's new batch of interns. In the aftermath of the plane accident, the hospital is sued and eventually found guilty of negligence. Each victim including Derek, Cristina, <A href="/wiki/Arizona_Robbins" title="Arizona Robbins">Arizona Robbins</A> (<A href="/wiki/Jessica_Capshaw" title="Jessica Capshaw">Jessica Capshaw</A>) and herself must receive $15 million of compensation, which leads the hospital to a near bankruptcy as the insurance company refuses to pay due to a loophole. The doctors along with <A href="/wiki/Callie_Torres" title="Callie Torres">Callie Torres</A> (<A href="/wiki/Sara_Ramirez" title="Sara Ramirez">Sara Ramirez</A>) buy the hospital with the help of the Harper Avery Foundation to prevent it from closing and become new members of the directing board.</P>
<P>Meredith asks Dr. Bailey to perform <A href="/wiki/Gene_mapping" title="Gene mapping">gene mapping</A> on her to finally know whether she has Alzheimer's genes like her mother. She tests positive for more than one of the genetic markers for the disease.</P>
<P>Meredith moves to the completed dream home and sells her house to Alex, who purchases it as the only true home he's ever known. He continues Meredith's tradition of keeping the house open to any "strays" needing a home. Meredith discovers she is pregnant and gives birth to a son. The baby is delivered via <A href="/wiki/C-section" class="mw-redirect" title="C-section">C-section</A>. While stitching Meredith up, the obstetrician who operated on her is called away to another patient and intern Shane Ross completes the stitching. When blood begins to appear from everywhere, Meredith diagnoses herself in as being in <A href="/wiki/Disseminated_intravascular_coagulation" title="Disseminated intravascular coagulation">DIC</A>. Dr. Bailey performs a <A href="/wiki/Spleen_removal" class="mw-redirect" title="Spleen removal">spleen removal</A>, which saves her life. In return, Derek and Meredith name their son Bailey.</P>
<P>As a spouse, surgeon, and mother, Meredith has cited a number times that she did not want to be like either of her parents: her father had followed her mother around pathetically before leaving to be happy, while her mother valued her career over her family. Meredith is frequently conflicted trying to balance between the two, and fears her family are hindering her medical aspirations, as much as she fears becoming like her mother whenever she's tempted to choose surgery over family. Meredith and Cristina have a huge rift when Cristina confirms Meredith's fears by stating that Meredith's skills have fallen behind Cristina's due to her familial obligations taking her away from OR time.</P>
<P>Meredith and Derek come to an agreement that he, already established in his career and reputation, would take a step back to take care of the children and allow her to shine. Meredith attempts to regain some ground by starting a promising research trial 3-D printing portal veins. The conflict between Cristina and Meredith widens when Cristina commandeers Meredith's resources for her own trial, ultimately garnering a Harper Avery nomination for Cristina. Cristina and Meredith repair their relationship when Meredith confesses that Cristina was correct, her skills have surpassed Meredith's. Cristina moves to Switzerland take up a job offer from <A href="/wiki/Preston_Burke" title="Preston Burke">Dr. Preston Burke</A>, her former attending, mentor and fiancé, who was looking for a replacement at a research hospital he was running, thus leaving Alex in charge of being Meredith's "person" in her place, an honor he gladly accepts.</P>
<P>Meredith and Derek's marriage becomes strained when Derek goes against his promise and accepts an offer from the U.S. President to participate in the Brain Mapping Initiative, which consumes his time and eclipses Meredith, who is feeling increasingly left behind and mommy-tracked. He receives an offer to head the project itself in <A href="/wiki/Washington_D.C." class="mw-redirect" title="Washington D.C.">Washington D.C.</A>, meaning that he would have to be based there permanently. Meredith puts her foot down as she does not want to uproot their young family to move across the country for his career at the sacrifice of her own. They begin a series of on-and-off arguments and "cold wars" over their careers. Derek accepts the job in the heat of the moment and promptly leaves for Washington. During a phone call with Meredith, they agree to work things out after she tells him that she did not want them to become "one of those couples" and he reciprocates, saying that he missed her. She privately admits to Alex that she has realized that she could live independently of Derek, but chooses not to.</P>
<P>Meredith finds out she has a maternal half sister named Maggie Pierce who is now working in Grey Sloan Memorial. Meredith is in denial and rejects Maggie, thinking she would have remembered if her mother was pregnant until she finds a hospital document confirming the revelation. Meredith tries to piece together her relationship with her mother and half sister by going through old videos of her mother. She eventually recovers her repressed memories of the pregnancy when she views her mother's diary and has a change of heart, choosing to accept Maggie and begin building a relationship.</P>
<P>Meredith is widowed when Derek is killed in a car accident and was taken to an understaffed hospital. The doctors failed to recognize his head injury in time and allowed personal conflicts to interfere. Derek is declared brain dead, and Meredith must go to the medical center to consent to remove him from life support, shortly before she's hit with the first waves of morning sickness. She tells Penny, the intern who was assigned to Derek that every doctor has "that one" patient who dies on their watch and haunts them forever and "that one will make you work harder, and they make you better."</P>
<P>After Derek's death, Meredith returns to Grey Sloan Memorial to inform the others of his passing. Following the funeral service, Meredith impulsively packs up her belongings and leaves with the children to San Diego. Months pass by while her friends and family are unaware of her whereabouts. Eventually, parallels show similarities in Meredith's and Ellis' lives: Both have lost the love of their life, both run away from Seattle following their loss, and both eventually give birth to a daughter. Meredith names her newborn daughter after her mother. Although still grieving over Derek, Meredith returns to Seattle with the children and later becomes chief of general surgery. She sells the "dream house" and moves back to her mother's house, having purchased it back from Alex, and now lives there with Maggie and <A href="/wiki/Amelia_Shepherd" title="Amelia Shepherd">Amelia Shepherd</A>, her sister-in-law.</P>
<P>Meredith hosts a dinner party and at the party Callie brings Penny as a date. Later at the event Meredith finds out Penny will be joining her at Grey Sloan Memorial. Meredith eventually forgives Penny, who becomes her favorite resident over Alex's girlfriend, Jo. Alex and Meredith continue their close, sibling-like relationship of being each other's "person", despite Jo's displeasure and inability to understand their closeness. He supports her when she is violently attacked by a disoriented patient, and she supports him through his legal difficulties. Alex initiates a weekly family waffle day where he makes waffles for everyone in the house.</P>
<P>Meredith recovers enough to start seeing <A href="/wiki/Nathan_Riggs" class="mw-redirect" title="Nathan Riggs">Nathan Riggs</A>, Owen Hunt's former best friend, by season 13, although their relationship is complicated by the fact that Maggie confesses to Meredith that she has feelings for Riggs and Meredith is not ready to declare their relationship formally or publicly. Eventually she accepts her relationship with Riggs, but it's complicated by the unexpected return of Owen's sister, Megan Hunt, Riggs' fiancée. Meredith finds herself in another love triangle when Megan rejects Riggs because he is still in love with Meredith, but Meredith pushes them to be together. After her relationship with Riggs ends, Meredith is nominated for a Harper Avery Award for her groundbreaking surgery on Megan.</P>

<P>Pompeo discovered <I>Grey's Anatomy</I> after an extended period of doing nothing in the acting profession.

McKee deemed Grey and O'Malley's sexual encounter irreversible.</DIV>
</DIV>

<P>The character had a one-night stand with George O'Malley, in the second season. Series writer Stacy McKee, said of the sexual encounter: "There’s no turning back. There’s nothing George and Meredith can do. The damage is done – things will never be the same. They’ve just changed something important in their lives FOREVER and…they are freaking out."<SUP id="cite_ref-GMSex_23-0" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-GMSex-23">[23]</A></SUP> Grey's character development has also been known as an influence on the creation of her half-sister, Lexie Grey. Particularly, it has been made clear that they both share the same motives. McKee offered her thoughts: "Meredith and Lexie both want to succeed. They want to be strong. They want to feel normal. They want, so much, to be whole. But it’s a struggle – a genuine struggle for them. Being hardcore doesn’t come naturally. Sometimes, they have to fake it."<SUP id="cite_ref-MerLex_24-0" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-MerLex-24">[24]</A></SUP> Grey's personality has been compared with that of Alex Karev's. Rhimes offered the insight:</P>
<BLOCKQUOTE class="templatequote">
<P>"I like to create moments for him and Meredith. Because, in my head, they are very similar people. Even though Karev can be such an ass, even though he’s arrogant, even though he gave O'Malley the Syph. He and Meredith are both lost, both lonely, both former screw-ups who got their acts together. In another lifetime, they would be really good friends. So throughout the season, we watch them pause from time to time to look at each other and see that they are mirrors of one another.</P>

What she got instead was a complicated romantic relationship that rivals Romeo and Juliet — but the key is, she wasn't searching for love. Working and learning were — and continue to be — her priorities, while McDreamy was simply an added perk. Hopefully, the new season of Grey's Anatomy will reflect this change in tone, because Meredith is a strong, independent woman — and she will be just fine."<SUP id="cite_ref-bustle.com_45-0" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-bustle.com-45">[45]</A></SUP></P>
