Grey Sloan Memorial, the hospital at the heart of primetime dramaGreys Anatomy,isnt exactly a normal hospital. All kinds of strange stuff happen there. But fans recently noticed that there seem to be a lot of characters popping up with brain tumors.

Fans on Reddit were talking about Izzies brain tumor, and how it led her to hallucinate her deceased boyfriend Denny. But theres another character who had a brain tumor.

Amelia Shepherd, sister of heartthrob Derek Shepherd, was diagnosed with a brain tumor in season 14. Amelias character started out on one of Greys Anatomysspinoffs,Private Practice.

When Amelia got a job Grey Sloan, she quickly jumped into a relationship with Owen Hunt. This didnt endear her toGreysfans, because Owen was dealing with his own substance abuse issues. His quick and volatile relationship with Amelia was a threat to his sobriety.

But fans ofPrivate Practicewerent surprised by Amelias behavior. She was known for being erratic on that show as well. When she was diagnosed with the brain tumor, it was revealed that the tumor may have played a part in her bad behavior. It was apparently may have affected her decision-making. Fans thought that after the tumor was removed they would see a whole new Amelia, and they were disappointed when that wasnt the case.

One fan on Reddit wrote that Amelia has never changed for her brain tumour and she needs to stop blaming it for her choices shes just a bad person and Maggie is actually super likable and sweet.

Amelia does seem to make a lot of bad choices, and fans are kind of over it. DiehardGreysfans have been following Amelia since herPrivate Practicedays, and they think that the brain tumor was just an excuse. She hasnt really changed since her diagnosis, and it doesnt seem like she will

As another fan put it, I cant see any difference between pre and post tumour Amelia at all. Like they go on about all these spontaneous, crazy choices she made, but likewhat? In fans eyes, she is still making the same destructive decisions she was before the tumor. But fans arent the only ones calling Amelia out. Even other characters on the show seem to think she puts too much blame on the tumor.

As one fan pointed out, Even her sisters called her out when she tried to blame it for her behavior.

While some fans just find Amelia downright dislikable, others think that the shows writers are to blame. They think that while Amelia was troubled onPrivate Practice,she was still a more relatable character with who showed real signs of growth. But when she came to Grey Sloan, Amelia became more of a caricature than a real, true to life character like she had once been.

One fan on reddit wrote I absolutely hate what Greys did to Amelia. Watching Private Practice Amelia was my favorite character and had so much growth. Then she comes to Greys and they ruin her. All her growth from being a drug addict and her super dark past to what??? They did her so dirty and almost made a joke of her character.

Fans think that the writing onGreys Anatomymade Amelias pre-tumor behavior sound much worse than it was. They may have gotten away with it if Amelia hadnt been a character onPrivate Practice.

Since fans know a lot of her past, making it seem darker than it really was doesnt really work.
