Each installment , typically , begins with a voice - over narrative from Meredith Grey or a season regular , foreshadowing the theme of the episode . Each season tends to represent the physicians ' academic year , with each completed year qualifying the residents at a level higher in the surgical field . The season will always end with a finale , typically related to a dramatic event such as a death or character departure . Most installments revolve around the doctors ' everyday lives as surgeons , but the show also emphasizes their personal , rather than professional , lives . The series sets aside medical ethic concerns to focus on character development and relationships . Although the physicians treat the illnesses of their patients , often through complex surgeries , they display competitive spirit and seek praise . </P>
