Medical drama gets second opinion

THOSE of you who were glued to your screens for the first season of Private Practice will be excited to hear that M-Net has brought the series back , and it kicks off tonight.

A spin-off of Grey’s Anatomy, Private Practice chronicles the life of Addison Montgomery, played by Kate Walsh, as she leaves Seattle Grace Hospital (the setting of Grey’s) to join a private practice in Los Angeles.

Following a failed attempt at reconciliation with her former husband, McDreamy, in Grey’s Anatomy (Derek Shepherd), the neonatal surgeon moves to Santa Monica, California, for sunnier weather and happier possibilities.
Here, she reunites with old friends from medical school who now run a chic co-op.

The first season deals with Addison’s attempts to adjust to a very different working environment at Oceanside Wellness Group, a private practice run along more alternative lines.

In the second season, friendships at the centre are tested and secrets revealed when Addison discovers that fertility specialist Naomi Bennett is concealing the practice’s financial problems.
Meanwhile, co-op psychiatrist Violet Turner wonders what secret the centre’s paediatrician, Cooper Freedman, is keeping from her,while Cooper has to decide whether or not to reveal a medical secret to a patient.

The practice continues to be bogged down by financial troubles through the season’s first half.The relationship between Cooper and Charlotte King, the chief of staff of the nearby hospital, proves to be a roller coaster,particularly when she opens a competing practice,
And, as usual, Addison is not without love troubles of her own, but manages to distract herself with a very handsome special weapons officer, while founding partner Sam Bennett and Naomi continue to battle to unhook themselves from each other.

And, as always, the series has a mountain of medical mysteries.
