Oh, no no confusion.
The first season was about her coming from modelling (She was featured in magazines) and back into medicine. Some people didn’t take her seriously, others just thought of her as a sex symbol (ew gross!)
I recall the show. I watched it with my ex.
Haha. Well I certainly didn’t remember that. Gosh, it’s been forever. I thought Izzy was the ex model and Meredith was following trepidatiously in her mother’s footsteps as a doctor. I doubt I go back and watch again to refresh my memory. ;)
