Hi,

I saw your post on this (http://greysanatomy.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:29564) discussion, and I volunteer at my local hospital. While there is some drama, it is mostly caused by the patients and not the staff. The romance you see on the show is not something you see in real hospitals. Staff members who are in a relationship with one another may breifly kiss as they pass each other in the hall, or while on their breaks. You don't see the on call room "action" though.

In my hospital, volunteers are able to view MRIs, CTs, X-Rays, Ultrasounds, Blood Draws, Nuclear Imaging studies and other minor procedures. However, we are not allowed to view surgeries, or even be in the surgical wing.

There are many surgical videos on YouTube that I would highly suggest watching. Some are just of a single surgery, and some are non-fiction TV shows that show various aspects of hospital life. I would highly recommend NY Med, Boston Med, Hopkins 24/7, Hopkins (2008), Trauma: Life in the ER (has many trauma sureries if that's your thing). Seattle Children's also has a special presentaton on their YouTube channel called "Inside The OR", and I thorouly enjoyed it. Also if you just search "Inside the OR", or similar terms, you will find lots of cool videos on YouTube.

Enjoy!
