The doctors and staff of Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital in Seattle have had a spate of bad luck. Over the years, there has been an earthquake, a flood, hospital shooting, and lots of accidents. This is of course the setting for the medical drama "Grey's Anatomy," where the characters have lived and died during the past 13 seasons.
EW posted an article posing this theory: what if the entire narrative, spanning 13 seasons, has all been in Meredith Grey's head? It can be recalled that in the initial episodes of "Grey's Anatomy," Meredith's voiceover narrations appeared like she was telling stories to her mother, Ellis Grey, who suffered from Alzheimer's. In Season 9 of "Grey's Anatomy," Meredith herself tested positive for genetic markers which could possibly lead to her developing the same illness.
The article proposes that the fantastic, heart-breaking, and sometimes baffling stories in "Grey's Anatomy" were all products of Meredith's fading mind. In an attempt to battle dementia, she could have been spinning versions of the character's lives.

"Grey's Anatomy" creator, writer, and producer Shonda Rimes had received a lot of flack for killing off Derek Shepherd, dubbed as "Doctor Mc Dreamy." This character, played by Patrick Dempsey, has been the long-time love interest of Meredith. The EW article suggested that he was not really dead, but could have divorced of left Meredith. If this "Grey's Anatomy" theory were true, then he really did not die in a car accident. It was just Meredith's way of dealing with the loss.
While that may have been an outrageous theory, fans are optimistic that Meredith Grey will find love in the upcoming season of "Grey's Anatomy." US Magazine reports that Meredith could finally be pursuing a romantic angle with long-time friend and colleague, Alex Karev.
