Meredith Grey may be the character doctor played by actress Ellen Pompeo, but her set’s props are very real. And as it turns out, most medical TV shows, like Chicago Med, The Good Doctor and Grey’s Anatomy are awash in authentic PPE.
With production halted, and a critical shortage of supplies in real-life hospitals, the TV industry has stepped in to donate what would otherwise be their props: Surgical masks, gloves and more, originally intended for actors, are now en route to actual health care personnel.
Big props to the props departments!
