Which Dreamy Grey's Anatomy Doctor Is Just Not Right For You?

March 27th, 2015. That's the date that Grey's Anatomy, an outstanding medical drama TV series, premiered. It's hard to believe that this show has been on air for more than a decade already. It feels like only yesterday that we tuned into the very first episode and met all of the original interns. No one could have predicted just how popular the show was going to become. In fact, it is so well-loved by fans that it is currently on its 15th season.

It is the phenomenal writing that makes this show so good. The characters are realistic, their story arcs compelling and the dialogue witty. Of course, the actors also have something to do with the show's success. Ellen Pompeo, Patrick Dempsey, Katherine Heigl, Sandra Oh, Justin Chamber and T. R. Knight know the importance of good acting. We admire their talent and we applaud them for the way that they act out their scenes.

While Meredith Grey (played by Ellen Pompeo) is the protagonist of the series, it is not necessarily her that we admire most. Nor is it Cristina Yang (played by Sandra Oh). The fact of the matter is: female fans can't help but swoon for male characters, and to be even more specific, male doctors. There are plenty of quizzes out there that attempt to match everyone with their dream doctor. But this quiz is somewhat different. Our mission? To match everyone with the doctor that is NOT right for them.

Question 1

Thoughts on interns dating attending surgeons?

Initially, much of Grey's Anatomy focused on the relationship between the protagonist - Meredith Grey - and her boss, Derek Shepherd. When they first met in season one of the series she was an intern and he was an attending surgeon. They were obviously attracted to one another but Meredith was initially not sure whether dating her boss was a good idea. He pursued her relentlessly however and eventually got what he wanted. Other characters on the show also dated their bosses. What are your thoughts on the matter?

Question 2

Who did Lucy Fields date?

Remember Lucy Fields? She was an OB/GYN attending surgeon and a maternal-fetal medicine fellow. She was introduced to us in season seven of the show. However, she appeared in only eight episodes in total. If you are a true fan of the show you can probably remember that she dated another doctor. Their relationship did not work out however mostly because she did not believe that her boyfriend considered her a factor when making an important (and life altering) decision. Who are we talking about here? Whom did she date?

Question 3

Plastic surgery or pediatric surgery?

You probably know the difference between plastic surgery and pediatric surgery. But just in case, let us refresh your memory: Plastic surgery involves the restoration or alteration of the human body. According to Wikipedia, it can be divided into two distinct categories: reconstructive surgery and cosmetic surgery, also known as aesthetic surgery. Pediatric surgery, on the other hand, involves the surgery of fetuses, infants, young children and even young adults. The two main subspecialties of pediatric surgery are neonatal surgery (caring for newborn infants) and fetal surgery (treating birth defects in fetuses).

Question 4

What is Ben Warren's current occupation?

It was in Season six of Grey's Anatomy that we first met Ben Warren. Most of us took a liking to him immediately. Back in Season six he worked at Mercy West Medical Center. After the merger however he moved to Seattle Grace Mercy West Hospital, which is when he developed a crush on Miranda Bailey. Shortly after, he decided to switch things up and change job positions. But after a while he realized that he still wasn't satisfied so he decided to try something different. What is his current occupation?

Question 5

Lunch date or dinner date?

If you are one of those fans who have been watching Grey's Anatomy for years (i.e. you have seen the first few seasons) then you can probably remember that time when Meredith Grey, the protagonist of the series, was trying to choose between her boss, Derek Shepherd, and a handsome vet, Finn Dandridge. They both tried their very best to woo her. For example, Derek invited her out to dinner whereas Finn met her for lunch. Which do you think is better: a lunch date or a dinner date? Lunch dates are much more casual and relaxed. On the other hand, dinner dates are more romantic.

Question 6

What was the name of Meredith Grey's college friend?

In season five of Grey's Anatomy we were introduced to one of Meredith Grey's friends from college. She appeared seemingly out of nowhere and quickly reclaimed her previous role of Meredith's best friend, pushing Cristina Yang to the sidelines. She then revealed that she was hired as an intern at Seattle Grace Hospital. She wasn't a particularly good doctor however and it soon came to light that she had tricked her way through college. Eventually she had to ask for Meredith's help but the latter was no prepared to lie for her friend.

Question 7

Successful professional life or happy married life?

Obviously, most of us want to have both a successful professional life and a happy married life. However, if you had to choose just one, which would you go for? Would you rather be known for your outstanding work (and maybe even for making a difference in the world) or would you rather be known as a person who values family above all else? Meredith Grey managed to have both whereas Cristina Yang made it clear on numerous occasions that being a doctor was the most important thing to her in the world.

Question 8

Why did Andrew DeLuca break up with Maggie Pierce?

We first met Maggie Pierce, Meredith Grey's sister, in Season 10 of Grey's Anatomy. Andrew DeLuca was introduced to us a whole season later (in Season 11 of the show). They quickly took a liking to each other and before long they were dating. However, if you are still watching the series to this day you are probably well aware that their relationship was short-lived. In fact, currently Andrew is going out with none other than Meredith herself. But why did Andrew and Maggie break up?

Question 9

Date a nurse or a co-worker?

Dating people you work with is probably not a good idea. And yet doctors on Grey's Anatomy do it all the time. But they don't just date other surgeons. Sometimes they also date nurses. If you had the choice, who would you rather date: another doctor or a nurse? We saw quite a few doctors on Grey's Anatomy date nurses. For example, Miranda Bailey dated Eli Lloyd, Derek Shepherd briefly went out with nurse Rose whereas both George O'Malley and Alex Karev dated nurse Olivia.

Question 10

How did Lexie Grey pass away?

Lexie Grey was probably one of the purest characters on Grey's Anatomy. Even if you only tune into the show now and again and don't really know all the plot lines, you can probably still guess who Lexie was. Can't remember? Don't worry, we got your back! She was Meredith Grey's little sister. We first met her in season three of the show. She was kind-hearted and loyal but also emotionally fragile. She fell in love with an older man but never got the happy ending she deserved because she passed away before her time.

Question 11

Is it alright to date patients?

Most doctors know not to date their patients. By dating your patients, you are simply asking for trouble. In fact, you are almost guaranteed heartache. But then again: the heart wants what it wants. Countless doctors on Grey's Anatomy dated their patients. Their relationships were always dramatic and full of suspense. Will the patient make it? Will the patient pass away? You could just never know. Obviously, most of the time the patient passed away and the doctor was left inconsolable (as were the fans).

Question 12

What is the name of Callie Torres' baby?

Most fans can't help but adore Callie Torres, the former head of orthopedic surgery at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital. Callie is one of those characters whom we first met at the beginning of the show. Indeed, she was introduced to us in season two of Grey's Anatomy. Initially she dated only men but eventually realized that she was also attracted to women. As fans are probably well aware, Callie is a mother: she has a gorgeous daughter whom she loves more than anything else in the world.

Question 13

Live with housemates or alone?

Would you rather live alone or with house mates? The answer to this question depends solely on your personality. If you are someone who values their personal space and loves spending time alone then you will without a doubt choose living alone. If, on the other hand, you love people and greatly dislike the thought of an empty house then you will probably want to choose the second option (living with housemates). You more than likely already know the option you want to choose, so go ahead and select the answer that is right for you!

Question 14

Where did Cristina Yang move to?

As most fans of the series will without a doubt agree, Cristina Yang was hands down one of the best characters on the show. She was ambitious, courageous, confident and funny. She knew what she wanted in life and she was not going to let anything (or anyone) stand in the way of her achieving her dreams. We just could not help but admire her passion. As such, were were all incredibly disappointed when she moved away at the end of Season ten. But where was it that she moved?

Question 15

Derek Shepherd or Alex Karev as a mentor?

We're not going to lie: this is a rather tough question. Both Derek Shepherd and Alex Karev are amazing. We liked how Derek pursued Meredith. He was a good guy although he did have his faults (for example, who can forget that time he neglected to tell Meredith Grey that he was still married?). Alex on the other hand was not very nice at the beginning of the series but with time became our favorite character (what amazing character growth!)

Question 16

Who did Preston Burke leave at the altar?

Preston Burke was the head of cardiothoracic surgery at Seattle Grace Hospital. It was in season one of the show that we first met him. In total, he appeared in as many as 62 episodes. He left the show at the end of Season three. Why? Because he left his wife-to-be at the altar. That was pretty mean of him but then again he had a pretty good explanation: he did not want to make her do anything that she did not want to do herself.

Question 17

Cristina Yang or Meredith Grey as an emergency contact?

This is a rather tough question so take your time answering it. Both Cristina Yang and Meredith Grey are two awesome women. They are both very talented and ambitious surgeons and they are both quite funny. On the show the two were best friends. In fact, they were each others emergency contacts. So, which doctor would you rather was your emergency contact: Cristina or Meredith? Who do you think would answer the phone no matter the time of the day? Who could you trust unconditionally?

Question 18

Who was NEVER Meredith Grey's love interest?

Over the course of the show, the protagonist - Meredith Grey - dates countless men. That kind of makes sense. After all, the show is named after her so it is not surprising that we get to see her go on so many dates and pursue so many relationships. What could be more exciting than someone else's romantic life, right? Obviously, while Meredith has dated quite a few men, she has not dated everyone (at least not yet). Which character from the four characters above has she NOT dated?

Question 19

Lexie Grey or Jo Karev as a bestie?

This is a tough one. Both Lexie Grey and Jo Karev are amazing. Lexie Grey is Meredith Grey's little sister. She is, or should we say, was (unfortunately, she is no longer around - she passed away at the end of Season eight) one of the nicest and most genuine characters on the show. Jo is also pretty nice. She had a rather difficult childhood but refused to give up and managed to make it in the end. She too is genuine and loyal.

Question 20

Who is this?

Have you started watching Season 15 of Grey's Anatomy yet? If so, you should have no difficulty naming the man in the image above. If not, you might find this question somewhat difficult. After all, this particular character was only introduced to us very recently. Nonetheless, he is a rather important character and has appeared in more than 10 episodes already. He is a handsome surgeon so it comes as no surprise that he has been nicknamed "Ortho God". Surprisingly, most female doctors on the show are immune to his charm.

Question 21

Callie Torres or Arizona Robbins as a lunch buddy?

Who would you rather have lunch with: Callie Torres or Arizona Robbins? Of course, in an ideal world you'd get to have lunch with both of them. But for the purpose of this quiz, you must choose one! Both are lovable characters. Callie is friendly and super easygoing. She gets along with pretty much everyone. Arizona is cheerful and bubbly although the plane accident has made her a little bit more negative than she was when we first met her.

Question 22

True or False - Cristina Yang was awarded the Harper Avery Award?

Every doctor dreams of winning the Harper Avery Award. Every doctor on Grey's Anatomy that is (because it doesn't actually exist outside the little screen). As most are probably well aware, the Harper Avery Award is a famous medical award. Every year, five doctors are nominated for the award. Only one of them wins it though. In addition to the honor, the doctor who wins this award also received half a million dollars. Impressive, right? Quite a few doctors on Grey's Anatomy have won this award. Is Cristina Yang one of them?

Question 23

Assist Derek Shepherd or Preston Burke on a surgery?

Who would you rather assist on a surgery: Derek Shepherd or Preston Burke? Both are talented surgeons so we are sure that making a choice will not be easy! Both Derek and Preston could probably teach you a thing or two. After all, they are both ambitious and confident doctors who know exactly what to do, no matter the situation. Think you are ready to make your choice? Then what are you waiting for? Go ahead and make your selection!

Question 24

What was the name of the patient that Izzie Stevens was engaged to?

Remember when Izzie Stevens, one of the original interns, fell for her patient? To be honest, we weren't even surprised. Her patient was an incredibly handsome man. He was also a smooth talker. It is no wonder that Izzie fell for him, and hard. Unfortunately, he had a bad heart condition and even though Izzie tried her very best to save him (even going so far as to break hospital rules) he ended up passing away, leaving Izzie with an incurable heartache.

Question 25

What's the best way to be proposed to?

Pretty much every girl dreams of the day that her boyfriend will propose to her. Some want to be proposed at a fancy restaurant during a romantic dinner. Others want a more innovative proposal. Think a flash mob (so that everyone knows that you are now engaged) or a crossword puzzle. Or how about an elevator proposal? What if the guy plastered the elevator walls with pictures of all the successful surgeries that the two of you performed together? Choose one!

Question 26

April Kepner and Jackson Avery have how many kids?

We all rooted for April Kepner and Jackson Avery to get together. Unfortunately, their relationship did not work out the first time and before we knew it she was going out with another man who proposed to her in a flash mob. She said yes and so we all thought that that was the end of April and Jackson. Of course, then she surprised us all by running away from her wedding with none other than Jackson. They got married, became parents and then got divorced. But how many kids did they end up having in total?

Question 27

Choose a specialty.

As an intern, you get to experiment and try your hand at different things. You can learn from many different doctors and see what specialty appeals to you the most. Of course, you can remain a general surgeon if you want to, but most doctors decide to specialize in a specific field. There are many specialties you can choose from. Which specialty from the four specialties outlined above sounds the best to you? You can only choose one so think about it before you press that button!

Question 28

Why did Owen Hunt bring over his fellow army surgeon to the hospital?

In Season six of Grey's Anatomy we were introduced to Teddy Altman. It turned out that she was friends with another doctor on the show, Owen Hunt. In fact, it was none other than Owen who invited her to Seattle Grace Mercy West Hospital. But he did not lure her to Seattle out of the goodness of his heart. Rather, he had an ulterior motive. Who can remember what it was? Why did Owen ask Teddy to come and work at Seattle Grace Mercy West Hospital?

Question 29

Choose a hospital.

Doctors save lives. Without them, the world would be a much bleaker place. More people would pass away. As such, it makes sense that doctors spend most of their time at the hospital that they work in. Just look at Grey's Anatomy. While we do sometimes see the characters outside the hospital setting, most important events happen within the hospital. Of course, during the course of the show the hospital setting changed (or at least, the name of the hospital changed). Which hospital was the best?

Question 30

What was George O'Malley's nickname?

If you are one of those loyal fans who have seen all seasons of Grey's Anatomy then you are probably well aware that George O'Malley was one of the original interns. We're using the past tense here because he is no longer around. No, he did not move abroad and he did not decide to pursue a different occupation. Rather, he passed away after he jumped in front of a bus so as to save a woman's life. Who can remember George's most famous nickname? He got it during an unsuccessful surgery.

Question 31

How many kids is too many?

Do you like kids? If so, you probably want to have one or two in the future. If not, you probably don't want any children. Maybe you want to focus on your professional life instead. Or maybe you prefer fur babies. Of course, even if you do like children there's probably a limit as to how many you would like to have. So, how many children is too many? Go ahead and choose one answer from the four options available to you above.

Question 32

Who is April Kepner married to?

We were first introduced to April Kepner in season six of Grey's Anatomy. Initially it did not seem like she was going to make a good doctor. In fact, she did not pass her boards the first time round but nonetheless refused to give up and made it on her second try. For a while she worked as an attending trauma surgeon at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital but then left after she got married to help the homeless in need of medical care. Who did she marry though?

Question 33

Organize a dinner party or attend one?

The answer to this question will depend entirely on your personality. Are you someone who loves to host people? If so, you are probably a pro at organizing events and in particular, dinner parties. If, on the other hand, you think that hosting parties is a big chore, you will probably want to select the second option (attending a dinner party instead of hosting one). Neither option is better than the other, it all depends on who you are as a person.

Question 34

Why did Derek Shepherd's first wife, Addison Montgomery, come to Seattle?

When Meredith Grey and Derek Shepherd first started going out, it seemed like nothing could get in their way. Sure, she was an intern and he was an attending but they were both incredibly attracted to one another, they both respected each other and they were both talented individuals with big ambitions. Of course, we should have known that nothing ever goes to plan on a soap opera. Before we knew it, Derek's wife, Addison Montgomery, had entered the picture. Why did she come to Seattle?

Question 35

Take out a loan or model lingerie to pay for medical school?

Medical school is expensive. As such, it only makes sense that most medical students take out huge loans to pay for their expenses. Unfortunately, they then spend years after they graduate trying to repay these loans. Of course, you could also work to try and pay for your expenses, but would you be willing to do any high-paying job? For example, would you be willing to model lingerie (something that Izzie Stevens did to put herself through medical school)? Or would you rather take out a loan?

Question 36

Where did Nathan Riggs move to?

Only those who have seen the last few seasons of Grey's Anatomy stand a chance in answering this question correctly. Why? Well, because Nathan Riggs, a talented cardiothoracic surgeon, was only introduced to us in season 12 of the show. Like most men, he couldn't help but fall for the series' protagonist, Meredith Grey. After many obstacles the two started going out but then Nathan's long lost wife re-appeared and Meredith made him give his marriage another shot, which is why he moved away. But where did he move to?

Question 37

Live alone in a house or with a soulmate in a trailer?

Take your time when answering this question. After all, it's a pretty tough one. So, which would you rather: live in a house completely on your own or live in a trailer with the love of your life (your soul mate)? A house is probably more convenient but then again, would you be willing to give up love for a comfortable life? We meant it when we said this question was hard. Take all the time you need. Changing your mind is okay too! Whatever your choice, we promise we won't judge.

Question 38

What happened to McVet's wife?

At one point during the show, Meredith Grey was going out with a handsome veterinarian, also known as McVet (or, to use his actual name, Finn Dandridge). Finn was a great guy so we were pretty surprised that he hadn't been scooped up yet. But then it turned out that he had. He was once married. Who can remember what happened to his wife? If you consider yourself a loyal fan of the series this question should be ridiculously easy for you.

Question 39

Post-it wedding or traditional wedding?

When Derek Shepherd and Meredith Grey gave up their wedding ceremony so that Izzie Stevens (who, at the time, had cancer) and Alex Karev could get married instead, they decided to tie the knot in a non-traditional manner. Rather than re-scheduling their wedding they wrote down their vows on a post-it note and called it a day. Was it a bit ridiculous? Sure. Was it also incredibly touching and cute? Absolutely. While some fans would without a doubt prefer a traditional wedding, most wouldn't mind the post-it wedding.

Question 40

What was Derek Shepherd's nickname in the alternate reality episode?

Remember the 13th episode of season eight of Grey's Anatomy? It was titled If/Then and it was somewhat unusual in that it was set in an alternate reality. In this alternate reality, Meredith Grey grew up with supporting parents and never met Derek Shepherd at a bar. In fact, Derek never separated from his wife, Addison Montgomery. And, he actually had a very different nickname. Who can remember what it was? Go ahead and choose the right answer from all of the options available above!
