Whether it is the haughtiness of Derek or Mark or the obnoxiousness of Cristina Yang , there is n’t any dearth of people who looked down on others or made them palpate really bad about themselves .
Tom Koracick
Koracick , a graphic symbol that was unluckily saddled with a weak storyline , and was not hateful or despiteful . But he was sarcastic most of the clock time , could n’t deal less about whether or not people liked him , andhis juiceless wit did n’t make him many friends .
Koracick might be widely hat by his colleagues . But he would , in fact , be one of the least intend characters on the show , for whatever flaws he had were out in the open , and he was n’t furtive about his snark .
Miranda Bailey
Miranda Bailey has achieved everything she set out to , although the journey has n’t been smooth . She has view hardships and has even adventure her health for her career .
Bailey was save as an intimidating character that did n’t mince word of honor whenshe was introduced as ‘ the Nazi ’ , but although the fiber has mellow with time , she has become a midget turn insecure and can even be immature at multiplication . From treating Richard harshly when he was only trying to help her and being resentful of Callie when the latter was select to be Chief Resident over her , Bailey can be a shade mean .
April Kepner
The gentle , gratifying , and queasy April could be vexing when she survive off on a tangent , although she was in general a really good person . However , she had some rather uncharacteristically miserly here and now , for instance , when she came to Seattle Grace from Mercy West , and was ab initio good Quaker with the very obnoxious Dr. Reed .
by and by too , she go through a average phase during her dire crisis of faith . She screamed at Bailey when an honest-to-goodness patient of the latter ’s , an elderly rabbi , showed up with a horrifying skin condition that was the result of some antibiotic prescribed by Bailey . The prospect that such a thing would happen were very minimal and Bailey had no room of knowing that her prescription would end up killing the man , but April made her feel humble all the same . She was also petty with Jackson when she delayed inform him about her second pregnancy and then went and lodge for a restraining order against the Averys who she wrongly assumed was diagram to take her baby .
Owen Hunt
When Owen Hunt was introduce years ago he was a dashing harm surgeon , a risk of infection - taker , and someone who had been a operating surgeon in the military . Owen was brought in as Cristina ’s possible passion interestingness and at the time he was a loving man who had had his share of difficulty in the yesteryear .
But over prison term , Owen ’s character became more confusedand suffers from moments of deficiency of compassion . He might have been through a lot , but he is unable to let his personal life detain freestanding from his profession and often has beggarly blowup . True , he had no reason to love Tom Koracick , but he seemed to go out his way to be obnoxious to him at work which was n’t very professional . He was also rude to Nathan Riggs without knowing the latter ’s intact history with his sister Megan .
Preston Burke
large Doctor do not achieve greatness by being sweet to everybody , and that has been demonstrated again and again by surgeons onGrey ’s Anatomy . Preston Burke was a divisive characterwho had a polarizing result on fans , and more so after the room he treated Cristina , although to be fair , that was more unjust than mean , and ended up being a upright thing for both of them in the long political campaign .
However , Burke could also arrive across very powerfully when he is interact with surgical interne or occupier , and as Bailey mentioned at the very beginning , he had a habit of picking interns every year and terrorizing them . He might not have been base by nature but he was n’t a ray of sunshine either .
Derek Shepherd
The liberal Derek Shepherd was suave , refined , and unremarkably continue his cool even in the direst of circumstance . But even the slap-up Shepherd was n’t perfect and he could be hurtful and vile to hoi polloi with whom he had a personal relationship .
He was particularlymean to his untried sister , Amelia Shepherd , when she first came to the hospital . He went to the extent of publicly indicate out that she was an addict and refuse to give her her due respectfulness as a surgeon . Although they did accommodate , his behavior toward her will always be retrieve as toxic . He was also self-important in ecumenical and had narcissistic tendencies .
Mark Sloan
The devastatingly handsome Mark Sloan was not the easiest of citizenry , andhe treated his underlings with arroganceand disrespect .
He had no interest in overtake noesis on as a mentor until he made efforts to learn Jackson Avery , thinking that Lexie was in dear with him . He could be bald-faced and rude and had a significant position problem . The only matter that helped him get by with it was his good looks and his ability to manipulate people with his charm .
Catherine Fox
Catherine Fox is one of the most hefty womenin theGrey’suniverse . Not only is she one of the top urologists in the country , but she has also been the primary force behind the Harper Avery Foundation , now known as the Catherine Fox Foundation , for long time .
But while she might have arrive at the peak of winner , she unfortunately also has a beggarly streak which becomes especially evident in her relationship with Richard Webber . The whole social function where she bought Pacific North General Hospital just to spite Richard was beyond mean , and did n’t impersonate her in a very fledged light .
Meredith Grey
The protagonist after whom the series is named can be very mean too , and that has been evident time and again when she has gone out of her way of life to affront her own half - sisters .
Both youngLexie Grey and Maggie Pierce were at the receiving end of Meredith ’s wrathwhen they first joined the infirmary and informed her of their relationship with her . True , Meredith was justified in not wanting to be great friends with citizenry who only reminded her of her and her mother ’s painful past tense , but her behavior seemed a tad unnecessary , especially given that both Lexie and Maggie were genuinely decent people . And even professionally , when it was Meredith Grey ’s turn to be an attendance , she soon earned the nickname ' Medusa ' given how strict and intimidate she was with her interns .
Cristina Yang
Without a doubt , the meanspirited of the independent characters to have graced the series was the inimitable Cristina Yang . Yang was a hard-core surgeonand did n’t believe in compromises when it came to her career . But her excellence in her own field did n’t afford her a lot of humility and she would often be very rude to others , particularly those she considered weak than herself .
Even before she was an accomplished operating surgeon , Yang was a panic to work with . As an intern and a resident , she would constantly ballyrag her fellow workers . For instance , she called George ' Bambi ' which only helped to worsen his confidence in himself . smart as a whip though she was , and a much - dear graphic symbol , Cristina Yang could be a meanie through and through and even seemed to derive some sort of sadistic pleasure from it at times .
