hypotension treatment

The one we all cheer on as Grey's fans. Meredith's mother was a surgeon at Seattle Grace and has always wanted Meredith to follow in her footsteps, so she did. . . . and she's good at it! She knows Richard Webber, the Chief of surgery, as he had an affair with Meredith's mother breaking up her parents marriage. She likes the Chief, though she has a hard time that he tries to protect her sometimes. After all, he is not her father. She is estranged from her real father, Thatcher Grey, as he was remarried and has another family. All attempts to bridge this gap have been fruitless. Meredith's mother had been residing at an elderly home with Alzheimer's, not even knowing her daughter any longer, until she passed away in season 3. Her step-mother was trying hard after Meredith's mother died, to bring the father and daughter together again. It got very complicated when she came to Meredith for help with her chronic hiccups. She died at Seattle Grace during routine surgery to solve the hiccups. Meredith's father blamed her and kept her from the funeral. Now Meredith's half-sister, Lexie Grey, is an intern at Seattle Grace-the last person in the world she wanted to meet or have to know. In addition to all this drama, Meredith almost drown herself off a dock last season,feeling overwhelmed by everything, but the staff at the hospital was able to revive her. Through it all, her closest friend is Cristina Yang.

With all the drama she's experienced, it shouldn't be surprising that her love life has also been really rocky. She met Dr. McDreamy, Derek Shepard, at a bar and had fun until his wife, Addison, showed up. That's right, he was married! They broke up for a while as he tried to work things out with his wife, but eventually their love brought them back together. Since then, Meredith has had to deal with all of the above family issues and it's getting in the way. She "checks out" each time things get tough and has a hard time coping with everything. Having never had a father to trust or even show up, she also has a hard time trusting men. Derek is getting tired of waiting for Meredith to "be ready" to take the relationship to the next step. They broke it off, but were still having "break up sex" for a while. Then they started dating other people, or at least Derek was. Meredith is trying to be ready for him, but just can't (or won't). Derek has recently found someone new, a nurse named Rose in the hospital. Meredith finally realizes she needs help and turns to the hospital therapist to help her with all her problems. She's trying to get over Derek and ignore the fact that she still loves him. It's hard for her to open up, but they are starting to make some headway. Meanwhile, she's started a clinical trial with Derek as she thinks she's found a way to shrink and possibly cure brain tumors by injecting viruses in them. Finally, on their 13th trial, they see some success with their trial.  In the process, she's grown a lot from her therapy and realizes that she can learn from her mother's mistakes and go to the man she loves.  She goes to Derek's property and lays out candles like a floorplan of their house that she wants to share with him and tells him she wants to try again.  Derek is still madly in love with her, and takes her back immediately, but first he's got to let Rose go.
