The last couple of episodes of Grey’s Anatomy have undoubtedly shifted the focus away from the usual interpersonal relationships between the characters and dealt heavily with the medical. For some viewers the change has been a welcome one, while for others it has been a frustrating couple of episodes.
It is unlikely that all of the remaining episodes of season six will deal only with the medicine, as there are many things headed our way that will impact the relationships on the show. We know, for example, that Kim Raver (Lipstick Jungle) will be showing up to stir things up between Cristina and Hunt (as if they need more stirring up). Then we’ve got Leven Rambin showing up in Mark’s (and Lexie’s) life. And of course, who can forget the fact that there’s a bunch of new people wandering around Seattle Grace?
But the past couple of episodes have worked to remind us that these characters we know and love are doctors first and foremost. But did we need to be reminded? Is it important to focus on Derek’s ability to remove an impossible tumor? Will the fact that he did so successfully impact his storyline for the rest of the season?
More to the point: How did you feel about the past couple of episodes? Did you like the fact that we got to see more about the medicine or are you hoping the writers have gotten it all out of their system and return to the characters?

i really liked the recent episodes.i love the medicine-focused episodes…they were all thrilling…they rock!character-focused episodes are also great…i love GA no matter what!!!=)
I think its really good that Shonda and the team are focusing on medicine – it shows that they aren’t just copping out of research and details of operations.
We can really see the time and effort that is going into research for the show but at the same time we’re not losing out on all the personal touches and relationship info that we love! For example loved when Derek went home and drew the picture on the wall to explain to Meredith his problem – so cute.
Good work Shonda and the team, keep it up for the rest of the season and a massive well done to Chandra (Bailey) who wrote the best episode of season 6 so far x
I like a mix of character driven and story driven episodes. I think what the writers do best though is mesh the two. When the medicine reflects the lives of the characters. All in all i am not unhappy with the season so far, it has been a bit inconsistent but overall it has been good. I know this is a transitional season so I am willing to put up with some inconsistencies as longs as I see progress forward which I do.
The only thing i want to know is what is gonna happen between izzie and alex!is katherine leaving the show?
I love the medicine-focused episodes!! thet r soo good!! I love them (:
