Right. Callie had to apply to be an attending at Seattle Grace, and was denied because her superior wouldn't step down. I'm saying that had this been season 6, how you're suggesting attending be used, Callie would have had attending status at Seattle Grace because she completed her ortho residency, however, not an Attending because she was denied the position.

Do you see what I'm saying? Attendings are hospital based, since the supervision of fellows and residents are employed by the hospital.

And regarding Alex, Cristina, and Jackson, it would be appropriate since you're presenting attending as a status. Which they have. It signifies their completion of their general surgery residency.

How is it appropriate to show OBGYN attending for Addison, a private practice employee and not a hospital employee, to show her status as her completion of OBGYN residency, however it's inappropriate to show Alex Cristina and Jackson as general surgery attendings, because although it'll show status of completing their residencies, they'll never "step up" despite having the status?

See how that presentation doesn't work?
