The doctors at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital have been through a lot over the years.
In fact, surely it's the most dramatic hospital in the world? Thankfully, all the freak accidents, dating controversies and questionable medical practices are fictional - but behind-the-scenes, the set of Grey's Anatomy is just as full of drama.
Seriously - Shonda Rhimes should create a really meta drama series about making a drama series. I'd watch the heck out of that.
The dramatic working environment on the Grey's Anatomy set has been no secret: from physical fights, to subtle shade to the very public axing of the show's main character, it's been a lot, and it's been almost constant.

For the first 10 year, its cast had been turning up to work in a "toxic" environment, according to Ellen Pompeo.
In a 2019 interview with Empire's Taraji P. Henson for Variety, Pompeo – a.k.a Dr Meredith Grey – said there were times when she considered leaving the series.
"The first 10 years we had serious culture issues, very bad behaviour, really toxic work environment," she explained.
