Patrick Dempsey doesn’t make a medical move on Grey’s Anatomy without the advice of the real life McDreamy, Dr. Allan Hamilton.

“Almost all the patients I end up using [as characters in Grey's]…are based on real patients or a group of real experiences with patients.”

“Brand integration is enormous…I’ve actually seen more modern prototypes coming out in Grey’s than I did on the floor of the actual convention.”

“The pictures of doctors as a whole human being or flawed human beings has really progressed…and you sort of have this feeling that in a way it’s an image of medicine, it’s the brilliance of medicine that’s sort of pushed to the point of breakdown and that is to some extent a reflection of what’s happening in medicine today.”

“We had one episode where an equipment malfunction was part of the plot…so we had to be very careful about what the equipment is and how it can relate. In general, there’s an emphasis on [wanting to include] the state of the art, and we get great cooperation from manufacturers about placement.”
