The one on the left is actually drooling, but the graphics engine isn't capable of rendering wet surfaces.

Isn't it such a surprise to see this game here? I hope your answer was a variation of "no". I really do. Grey's Anatomy: The Video game is a mixed bag filled with a load of mini games that make absolutely zero sense. Wanna have a conversation? Here's a minigame first. Wanna pick up that scalpel? Have a minigame. The pacing is utterly destroyed. While this might seem like a bad thing, it's actually the lesser evil. Because when you're not playing these Facebook-style games, you're forced to look at the terrifying fish eyed faces that the characters are sporting.

Honestly, they are all reminiscent of the Deep Ones from Lovecraft's Mythos. If you think about it, it's quite possible that this is actually a game about confused aliens trying to pass as human surgeons. Dialogue supports this theory, too. And the faces could then be explained because those are all really bad masks. As for the mini games, perhaps they are representing the aliens mental processes. In the end, we can clearly say that the world is safe because the invaders are a little bit retarded.
