Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital is often portrayed as one of the best medical institutions in America. Formed in 2013 by survivors of the plane crash, the hospital boasts some of the best medical professionals ever seen. However, the doctors aren't normally as lucky as the patients since tragedy tends to strike them on a regular basis.

The main location of the series starts out as Seattle Grace Hospital before becoming Seattle Grace Mercy West Hospital after its merger with Mercy West Medical Center. It's eventually renamed Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital, a name that has stuck. While fans are familiar with the name changes, several other details about the hospital might have dodged even the most loyal of fans.

10 A Total Of Three Doctors Have Been Fired For Incompetence

The doctors that have been fired from the hospital include Dr. Eliza Minnick, Dr. Vikram "Vik" Roy, and Dr. Dahlia Qadri. Eliza was fired by Bailey after the hospital fire. Her crime? She didn't inform the police that Stephanie was missing because she was too busy getting patients out of the building.

Vik was fired for neglecting a patient who had come in with a nosebleed. He left the patient unattended for five hours, leading to his death. Even more shocking, he refused to take responsibility for his actions. Dahlia was fired by Bailey for her confusion while handling one of Meredith's patients.

9 The Hospital's Phone Number

Since it's one of the best hospitals in the world, there is obviously a high number of people trying to reach Grey Sloan Memorial. There must be thousands of daily inquiries about the services offered and the charges. But how can someone in the fictional world of the show contact the hospital?

Any person who intends to call the reception desk can dial (206) 555-6000. The number is seen on Meredith's phone in Season 12 when she tries calling other doctors from home but no one is picking. She thus decides to call the reception.
