Trivia
The Broadway performance of "Gray's Anatomy" by Spalding Gray opened at the Vivian Beaumont Theatre on November 28, 1993, ran for 13 performances and closed on January 3, 1994. A repeat performance reopened at the Vivian Beaumont Theater on June 5, 1994, ran for 8 performances and closed on June 27, 1994.

Goofs
The earpieces of the stethoscopes are supposed to have the slant toward the front because that is the way the ear canal in the skull runs. Every scene shows them just obscuring sound using the stethoscope with the slant toward the back of the user's head. Its an error against anatomy.

Quotes
Female Interviewee: I think I've been disfigured; or at least blinded.

Crazy credits
Although inspired by actual events, the characters and events depicted in the monologue portion of this motion picture have been fictionalized. Any similarity to actual persons living or dead is purely coincidental.

Top review

A potentially boring film, made great thanks to Steven Soderbergh!

This movie is simply a 90 min monologue about this guy and his medical troubles. He explains how he tried all kinds of remedies and potions, because he was too chicken to bite the bullet and get an operation. This movie would seem boring at first glance, but the director - one of my new favourites - Steven Soderbergh makes this an interesting and worthwhile journey into this mans psyche. If you're unsure about this movie, check out Soderbergh's other masterpiece 'Schitzopolis' and then if you have any doubts about his directing ability then that's your loss, not mine. Gray's Anatomy... taste's like chicken. I'm told.
