Grey's Anatomy's react

All the Traumas. Fun!

1. She witnessed her mother cut her arms and had to call 911 as a small child.

2. Her one-night stand turned out to be a neurosurgeon who was her boss at her new job.

"We all knew that though?" Izzy mutters loudly.

"We didn't!" Some of the newer lot mentioned.

3. Ellis, her famous mother, had Alzheimer's and she kept it a secret from all her work colleagues.

Everyone stays quite at this, most knew, those who did not know didn't know what to say.

We also learn Meredith had a bad childhood as her mum was not very caring. When Ellis is lucid, she tells her daughter, "I raised you to be an extraordinary human being, so imagine my disappointment when I wake up after five years and discover that you're no more than ordinary."

Maggie looks down at this. It hurt to see the woman who gave her away because she knew couldn't care for her, treat her first child terribly.

4. She found out her boyfriend, Derek, was married.

5. Her boyfriend, Derek, got back with his wife, Addison.

"Wow...."

6. Her friend, George, was in love with her but she didn't feel the same.

"Lets not also forget he then had sex with her whilst she was dark and twisty and drunk." Cristina mutters.

7. She was stuck holding an undetonated bomb that was lodged in someone's stomach. Then Meredith had to deal with the guilt from the bomb diffuser dying. After he removed r the device, it exploded while in his grasp.

"What the f-" Levi yelled.

8. She had appendicitis while at work.

9. She almost drowned after she was knocked into the water after a ferry crash.

She then saw dead people and her mother.

"Sorry what?"

"Don't forget Denny."

"You saw Denny?"

"OH god it was like when I saw George in the elevator..."

10. Her mum, Ellis, became lucid for the first time in ages — then she died.

11. Her step mum, Susan, died from hiccup complications.

12. Her dad blamed Meredith for killing his wife, Susan, and he became an alcoholic.

13. Her estranged half-sister, Lexie, joined her hospital as an intern.

14. Her friend, Izzy, discovered she had a brain tumour and almost died.

15. Her friend, George, was hit by a bus and died.

"Oh my god, what else could go wrong!"

"A lot." Meredith giggled a bit, trying to keep the atmosphere lighter.

16. Then her friend Izzy got fired from the hospital and moved to Kansas, leaving Alex with the medical bills.

17. During a shooting at the hospital, she had a miscarriage and lost her baby.

"There was a shooting! Oh my god!"

18. During the same episode her Husband Derek, was shot and almost died.

"That was not fun..."

"Yeah, no kidding." April bit back.

19. She was almost fired for tampering with a clinical trial for Alzheimer's.

Meredith switched the placebo with the actual drug to ensure that Richard's wife, Adele, was getting the real treatment. Her heart was in the right place, but in terms of ethics, her actions were straight-up wrong.

20. Her sister, Lexie, died in a plane crash.

Everyone went quiet again.

21. She finally fell pregnant then fell down the stairs and was forced into labour during a superstorm.

22. She found out that her mum had a secret daughter with Richard named Maggie, and she happened to be the new surgeon starting at the hospital.

23. Her best friend (and person), Cristina, moved to Minnesota temporarily.

24. Her best friend (and person), Cristina, moved to Switzerland permanently.

"You did some moving!"

25. Her adopted daughter, Zola, was almost taken away.

Meredith holds Zola close, along with Bailey and Ellis.

26. Her husband, Derek, left her to go to Washington and work for The President.

27. Her husband, Derek, died after being hit by a truck, and his death was deemed avoidable.

After being taken to a nearby hospital — not Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital –– it became clear that the doctors were not experienced enough to treat Derek's injuries and most egregiously, they didn't even perform a CT scan.

A tear rolls down Meredith's cheek at this.

28. Overcome with grief, Meredith left her job and Seattle behind, then had a baby after bleeding in her kitchen and having Zola call 911.

29. She returned to later find out the doctor who played a part in Derek's death, Penny, had started working at the hospital.

"Ugh Perfect Penny..."

30. Her estranged father, Thatcher, died of Leukaemia.

31. She was attacked by a patient, breaking several limbs, and had to have her jar wired shut.

When a car accident victim was rushed to the hospital, as Meredith was treating him he developed post-seizure hyper-aggression and attacked her. She is rescued by her colleagues but the damage is severe. Meredith was temporarily unable to hear due to barotrauma; her leg and arm were broken; her elbow was dislocated; and because her jaw was broken, it had to be wired shut so she couldn't speak.

"Oh my god...."

Horror plastered all those who didn't know.

32. The hospital was set on fire by a patient.

33. She starts dating cardiothoracic surgeon, Nathan, but they break up when he reunites with his ex, Megan.

34. She starts dating general surgery attending, Andrew DeLuca, they broke up, but then later he was stabbed and died.

35. She gets fired by Bailey for committing insurance fraud.

"Sorry, did Bailey not also do something similar? How is that fair?"

Meredith wrote down her daughter's insurance information to help a young girl with cancer whose family couldn't afford insurance. When Meredith's dodgy dealings were exposed, Bailey fired her but eventually rehired her.

36. She goes to jail for failing to appear in court because she was at the bedside of her daughter, Zola, who was in surgery.

37. Her last original friend, Alex, leaves Seattle to go live in Kansas with Izzy.

Jo looks down at this, it hurt.

38. She contracts coronavirus, almost dies and starts seeing all her dead loved ones.

Meredith was in a coma for a while and in her dreams, she caught up with Lexie, Mark, George and Derek, which was nice but also a devastating reminder of everything she's lost.

Everyone looks to Meredith at this who gives a tiny smile.

"How are you still functioning?"

"Dunno."

"Now you understand why Meredith wants to, and shouldn't be bitched about for wanting to leave?"
