As for another of her favorite moments? It came even before she joined the show in season 10.
“Callie (Sara Ramirez) and the Chief (James Pickens, Jr.) were going around to other hospitals to see how they functioned,” Kelly shared of the season nine storyline. “The patients were treated like numbers in these other places. Again, that’s an experience of a lot of people in healthcare.”
And that’s not just in the world of Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital.
“The dive is not deep enough to really help people find what their problems are because of the way our healthcare system is set up,” she explained. “That’s not the fault of the doctors or the nurses, it’s bigger than that. I was blown away by that.”
