    My first review will be on the hilarious and probably not very medically accurate sitcom Scrubs. The show ran nine glorious seasons (although some may say the last season was vastly sub-par) and survived cancellation at least once. That’s 182 episodes that made us laugh, cry and follow along with the addicting characters marriages, babies and promotions. Besides Grey’s Anatomy this is where I’m sure college students learned their basic medical knowledge. I also assume now whenever I’m in a hospital if every doctor has dated each other at one time or another.…

    “Greys Anatomy” is my all time favorite television show, also all of the seasons on Netflix. I have had Netflix for about 3 years now, ever since it came out. I have been watching “Greys Anatomy” since I can remember, and I have seen each and every episode of every season. “Greys Anatomy” has affected my life because it has taught me how to handle hard situations, taught me about love and also has taught me about friendship. First in season 1, some hard situations that “Greys Anatomy” has taught me about is when Meredith found out that Derek (the guy who she was dating and who she had a relationship with) had a wife named Addison.…

    Ever since I was a little girl, I found myself fascinated with the intricacies of the human body. I would spend hours playing doctor or nurse with my sister, and even when she did not want to play with me I would improvise with my dolls.

Working as a medical scribe in an OBGYN office this past summer has only furthered my interest into becoming a physician’s assistant.…
