She is a graduate of Dartmouth College. The night before Grey's internship begins, she has a one-night stand with Derek Shepherd (Patrick Dempsey), a stranger she meets at a bar. She discovers the next day that he is the new attending neurosurgeon at her new workplace, Seattle Grace Hospital. Grey is assigned to work under resident Miranda Bailey (Chandra Wilson), and befriends her fellow interns, George O'Malley (T.R. Knight), Izzie Stevens (Katherine Heigl), Cristina Yang (Sandra Oh) and Alex Karev (Justin Chambers). Grey initially resists Shepherd's advances, but they eventually begin a relationship. She is surprised by the arrival of Addison Montgomery (Kate Walsh), Shepherd's wife, having been unaware that he was married. Shepherd struggles to choose between the two, but ultimately returns to Montgomery. Grey is devastated and turns to searching for her father, Thatcher, though their brief reunion fails to give her any closure regarding her childhood. She learns that her father remarried and had two more daughters, which is why he never fought for her. Grey has a series of one-night stands, including one with O'Malley, who is in love with her. When she cries in the middle of their encounter, their friendship temporarily ends. Grey embarks on a relationship with veterinarian Finn Dandridge (Chris O'Donnell), but it comes to a close when she reunites with Shepherd. Her mother experiences a completely lucid day, and expresses her great disappointment at how ordinary Grey has turned out to be. Following a ferryboat accident, Grey is knocked into the water and has to be rescued by Shepherd. She flatlines at the hospital, and awakens in an "afterlife", where she interacts with deceased former acquaintances. Ellis dies in the interim, and Grey meets with her mother, who tells her that she is anything but ordinary and urges her to wake up. Grey is subsequently resuscitated. She is promoted to a resident, as her half-sister Lexie Grey (Chyler Leigh), begins working at Seattle Grace Hospital as an intern. Grey initially rejects Lexie's attempts to form a relationship, but slowly softens towards her. Shepherd pushes Grey to make a greater commitment to their relationship than she feels able to, and the two break up once more. He begins dating a nurse, Rose, and Grey sees a therapist, Dr. Wyatt (Amy Madigan), to seek happiness. She initiates a neurosurgical clinical trial, enlisting Shepherd as a consulting neurosurgeon. The trial fails repeatedly, but the final patient they treat survives, which leads them to reuniting and moving in together. Shepherd loses his confidence after a minor mistake in the initial operation started a chain of events which ended with the patient's death and faced a malpractice lawsuit, leading to him taking a sabbatical and pushing everyone, including Grey, away. When Stevens is diagnosed with stage four metastatic melanoma, Grey convinces Shepherd to return to operate on her. He agrees to perform the surgery, and later proposes to Grey in the hospital elevator. Stevens begins to plan the perfect wedding for a reluctant Grey, but when, on their wedding day, Shepherd discovers that Stevens has a second brain tumor, the couple let her and Karev marry instead. Grey and Shepherd marry by writing their wedding vows on a post-it note. Having become a heavy drinker following Susan's death, Thatcher experiences liver failure. For Lexie's sake, Grey agrees to donate part of her liver to him. Thereafter, she discovers she is pregnant soon before a hospital shooting, endangering Shepherd. In the midst of the crisis, Grey miscarries the baby. She learns that she has a "hostile uterus", which leads her to consider her other possible genetic flaws. Shepherd, worried about the possibility that she will develop Alzheimer's, initiates a clinical trial hoping to cure the disease. Grey opts to work on the trial, with Shepherd. When the chief of surgery, Richard Webber (James Pickens Jr.)'s wife, Adele, is diagnosed with Alzheimer's, she receives a spot on Shepherd's trial. Grey tampers with the drugs so that Adele does not receive the placebo. She and Shepherd decide to adopt Zola, an orphaned baby from Malawi, and make their marriage official. When the truth about Grey's tampering comes out, however, a furious Shepherd tells her he cannot raise a child with her. Grey is fired, and tries to conceal both this and her marital separation from the adoption counselor. Although Webber steps down as chief of surgery and takes the blame for the trial tampering to protect Grey, Zola is taken away. She and Shepherd reconcile and fight to get Zola back, eventually having her returned to them. Meanwhile,Meredith experiences several traumatic events, such as an ambulance accident with Alex Karev (Alex Karev). As her last year of residency is coming to a close, the residents travel around the country, searching for the best jobs in their specialties. In order to finish their residency, the residents must take the medical boards, and Grey passes them successfully. She decides to take a job offer at The Brigham and Women's Hospital, and is subsequently involved in an aviation accident, killing Lexie, and leaving her and her co-workers stranded. Following their rescue, Grey becomes an attending general surgeon at the newly merged Seattle Grace Mercy West. Her newfound attitude leads to her being dubbed "Medusa" by the hospital's new interns. In mid-season, Grey becomes pregnant for the second time. In the aftermath of the plane accident, the hospital is sued and eventually found guilty of negligence. Each victim including Shepherd, Yang, Robbins and herself must receive $15 million of compensation, which leads the hospital to a near bankruptcy as the insurances refuse to pay. Those doctors and Callie Torres (Sara Ramirez) buy the hospital with the help of the Harper-Avery Foundation to prevent it from closing, and each become members of the new directing board. She asks Bailey to perform gene mapping on her to finally know whether she has Alzheimer's genes like her mother or not and she tests positive for more than one of the genetic markers for the disease. During this time, Meredith discovers she is pregnant again and she gives birth to a son. The baby is delivered via C-section during a storm because it was not in the correct position. While stitching Meredith up, the obstetrician who operated on Meredith 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 DIC. Bailey performs a spleen removal, which saves Meredith's life. In return, Derek and Meredith name their son Bailey. Meredith is torn between her roles as a surgeon and mother, citing multiple times that she did not "want to become my mother" and wanted to be a more engaged and involved parent than her mother. This causes a rift between her and Cristina as Meredith is no longer up on the current evidence to support clinical judgement. Derek agrees that he would step back from surgery and take care of the kids more and let Meredith shine. Meredith is called to make a decision about Richard's care as he named her as POA after he was electrocuted during the storm. Meredith currently takes up a research study that includes 3D-printing a portal vein. Meredith and Cristina, still not seeing eye to eye, continue to argue and keep their distance from each other until Cristina approaches Meredith at April's wedding saying that she's doing all of it alone while Meredith has a husband and kids to support her. Meredith admits of being jealous of Cristina because she has become what they both set out to be (great surgeons) and nothing but time and focus to dedicate to surgery. They realize that they are becoming different people and growing apart. Cristina later decides she has to depart Seattle. Meredith and Derek's relationship begins to struggle again when Derek goes to Washington DC to meet with the president in taking on a clinical trial. He comes back to Seattle with a chance to work in the National Institutes of Health in Washington DC and has found Meredith work in James Madison Hospital. Meredith is upset because she has built a life in Seattle and a family and doesn't want to move. Meredith helps Cristina write her Harper Avery speech and is there when she loses. Having struggled to come to terms with it, she finally accepts that her best friend is going to moving across the globe. They say goodbye and dance it out one last time. Cristina says to Meredith that "Don't let what he () wants eclipse what you need. He's very dreamy, but he is not the sun. You are". Derek later decide to stay in Seattle with his family. Unbeknownst to Meredith, a plausible half-sister, a daughter of Ellis and Richard, starts working at Grey Sloan Memorial. Meredith finds out she has a half sister called Maggie Pierce who is now working in Grey Sloan Memorial. Meredith thinks she would have remembered if her mother was pregnant and thinks Maggie is lying 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's views her mother's diary and has a change of heart, choosing to accept her and begin building a relationship. While her relationship with her grows, her relationship with Derek stalls because he constantly keeps telling her he gave up a chance in Washington D.C. to stay with her and later confesses to Amelia he feels drained from the focus he has to give on his family. Meredith later tells him to go to Washington DC and they part ways, with her being left with the children alone. Meredith is widowed when Derek Shepherd is a victim in a car accident and taken to nearby hospital which did not have Level I trauma center status and was understaffed. The doctors there fail to recognize his head injury. in time. Derek becomes brain dead, and police arrive at Derek and Meredith's residence to notify her that Derek has been in an accident. Meredith begins to imagine arriving at the hospital and seeing Derek in stable condition, alive and alert. The scene then switches to reality with Meredith arriving at the hospital to see Derek in grave condition, where she spends time with him and then consents 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." 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, we are shown the parallels between Meredith 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. We are again reminded that "the carousel never stops turning." Meredith names her newborn daughter after her mother, Ellis. Although still grieving over Derek, Meredith returns to Seattle and the hospital, where we see her begin a surgery as her symbolic first step of moving on. After Dr. Bailey becomes chief she promptly dumps all of her patients on Meredith. At the end of the day Dr. Bailey then appoints Meredith as the Chief of General surgery and Meredith accepts the position. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Meredith Grey」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
