| Popis | Today's US and Western Europe TV series and film features are getting increasingly crammed with health-driven sub-plots and narratives. A number of studies indicate that some TV series' attention is almost equally divided between describing fictional heroes' lives and their medical experience, the latter being a clear educational vehicle. In our contribution we are going to discuss the case study of one of the most appreciated examples of such an approach, the ever growingly popular TV series Grey's Anatomy that - when usually attributed as a romantic/medical drama with small and specific comedy inserts - became a popular culture phenomenon since its 2005 premiere. This media product can be considered a striking example of spontaneous social and emotional learning right in the front of a TV-screen and the series is even more interesting because of a simple fact it favours the visualization of professional physicans' experience instead of focusing on more traditional patients' sub-plots.
