ENTERTAINMENT 05/17/2018 03:21 pm ET How far-fetched are the racy bits in medical dramas? Some real-life doctors and nurses educate us.

Grey’s Anatomy Is Bringing Back A Character We Never Would Have Expected
2 minutes ago There's long running TV shows, and there's ABC's Grey's Anatomy. The medical drama is currently in the midst of its whopping 14th season on the network, and is showing no signs of slowing down. And with spinoff Station 19 helping to expand the show's fictional version of Seattle, it seems the possibilities for storytelling are infinite.
