Grey's Anatomy Newcomer Adelaide Kane Calls The Show's Doctor Boot Camp A 'Sterile Playground'

In a cast interview with E! News, Adelaide Kane revealed some surprising methods of preparation she and her new cast mates went through before filming their first episode of "Grey's Anatomy." When asked by the presenter if coming to the series was similar to joining a medical drama amusement park, Kane replied, "A little bit, yeah. Especially since we started out with like a two-week boot camp, which was really super fun. They taught us how to suture, how to check for heartbeats, how to listen for breath sounds, how to intubate people."

The actor then revealed how the crash-course training ramped up as she and her new co-workers were "thrown right on" to the details that come with surgery. Kane continued by observing, "It's insane. There is so much to touch and pick up, and you have so many tools in your hands. It's like a very grown-up and sterile playground." Kane's words harken back to the authenticity that made people fall in love with the medical drama over 15 years ago.

Speaking to Nylon, Kane was asked about her thoughts on the start of the series and said, "It definitely has that feeling, that nod to the beginning and a gentle, fresh start." She continued by adding how honoring the early seasons of the program was important to her when approaching her character — with some help from medical boot camp as well.
