We had a laugh when the actor playing Louie had to take a breath even though he was dead. This was when everyone was in the room after be was pronounced, not the story when they were cleaning him up. You know that big boy can't hold his breath for long. I have always wondered how many retakes they have to do on shows like this due to the supposed-to-be-dead actor breathing
Inadequate prison food was this week's PSA. Go ahead and admit him where he can get 400 calories from 2 Ensures per day and some broth. That will get him back on track
I have taken care of hundreds of prisoners, I can't say I've ever seen one malnourished. In fact, most of them are in better shape than I am or fatter than I am.
I've heard that a lot of prisoners get ripped due to their endocrine system overproducing testosterone as a fight or flight response from being locked down with a bunch of violent criminals 24/7/365. So a decent amount of protein from the commissary and a lot of push-ups helps lead to the prison physique. Any thoughts?
Fight or flight response is from your sympathetic nervous system which releases adrenaline. Nothing to do with testosterone. More likely there are occasionally those that get more ripped simply due to eating less and having a more structured life that allows for consistent resistance training.

this may be my favorite doctor on the show. Just seems like a good person and doctor
I like her too. She seems to be the most real, complete person. Is a doctor that is very good, cares about her patients and work, but shows she's a real person (which I have many doctor friends and they are just like other people) struggling with child custody, recognizing how fragile are her patients emotionally and as she is herself, balances her professional life with personal (the flirting scenes were great and she was like a nervous schoolgirl).
2nd best show..

Why is that a roll your eye moment? I see it as more of an indictment of the medical system. The guy who wants to do right is going to be buried by the debt (and he cares because he has a family and is trying to be an upstanding person) and the guy who is homeless and doesn't care is more than willing to game the system.
Seems pretty real to me?
You're right, roll your eyes was not what I meant in regards to the cost things. More the prisoner thing and being malnourished and Al-Hashimi is gaming the system to get him admitted.

Was surprised to learn she's in her mid-forties.
Really!?? She looks like she's in her mid forties. Not that that's a bad thing, but I definitely didn't take her as young. She looks "experienced"
I'm just getting old I guess. It was a compliment, I think she's cute and looks great for 45.

I mean, she's not really gaming the system. ER docs typically try to do what's best for the patient, which is why in many scenes you'll see them arguing with consultants who don't want to come to the ED, or don't want to do extra work that will interfere with their clinic or operating room schedule. She is trying to do what's best for this patient, as he clearly has something pathologic going on and is unlikely to get anything but the minimum in the prison.
The medical system is indeed broken, as is pointed out. Decent, hard working, people, that actually care about paying their debts, often are saddled with ridiculous debt or avoid going to the hospital because of being afraid of debt. Whereas many other people don't give a crap, and just won't pay, and are fully aware that doctors and hospitals can't turn them away for anything that constitutes an emergency.
Some doctors work in academic institutions, or resource rich places, where it's easy to admit anyone. Others work in community hospitals where you have to fight tooth and nail to admit uninsured patients. I wouldn't call the writers clueless.
Was an okay episode that seemed to move along and maybe set things for a good finish - and then ****ing voila - we will have a mass casualty event they have to respond to. Hello, any chance of something more oriented and original than a repeat of season one.
I was somehow completely oblivious to Santos liking girls. But I'm here for it.

How about Robby is seriously hurt in a motorcycle accident and we are left to wonder if he survives in the finale?
What happened to the prisoner - was he released or moved and I missed it or is he still there getting fed since the prison allegedly treated him so poorly.

I thought he got moved to a room. Didn't the nurse do something so he "flatlined" or similar so couldn't be released
Was a solid, workman like episode. Nothing crazy or outstanding, but always good to spend an hour with the characters. That's what's nice about 15 episode seasons; there is room for a breather.
I think the night shift attending doctor has gotten a little attached to the heavy guy. Wouldn't surprise me if he doesn't survive his surgery.

That's a long day.
I didn't realize it was 15 episodes.
We really enjoyed the first season. It didn't seem like a typical medical drama (well, this show has plenty of drama) like an ER or that more recent one that seemed more like a sex-driven show, can't recall the title. The closest thing I can think of on a conceptual basis is 24, with each episode focusing on a hour of time during an otherwise normal day.
This season is delivering in a similar fashion. Good show, good characters, and my BS politics detector isn't going off every 2 seconds.

Am I the only one with the "eye roll" when they show the patient who just wants to die. Everything else was solid. Next week's episode looks like HBOs inevitable attempt of showing their audience how bad the "right" is with their portrayal of ICE.
I am ready for her to die. But they are lingering on certain patients to get the emotional meters up. The one I was over with was the fat guy with a heart of gold. I hope not to see him again. But once the mom dies, then it looks like it will be Mel's sexually active sister.
Santos was unbearable this episode.

Woke **** doesn't bother me because that's hollywood, but lol at the woke box checking this show has done across 2 seasons. It's kind of amazing

I loved Garcia lecturing Santos - "if you want to have sex and eat ramen in bed I'm your girl, but if you want to ***** about Langdon, get a therapist" - straight to the point!
Am getting tired of Robbie and Santos being so ****ty about Langdon. He had a problem and he addressed it. Guaranteed there are other docs in that department (any hospital) who have substance abuse problems they're hiding. Many doctor friends and a couple went through rehab. Super smart good doctors. I like there is a good camp of doctors supporting Langdon - some of them may have been through the same thing as Langdon but people like Santos don't realize the numbers that have or need to have. Heck Santos is wired perfectly to have potential issues in a decade or so as she's strung too tight.
I mean Santos knew Langdon for like 8 hours. And in those 8 hours she busted him stealing drugs. You really think she'd "get over it" that easy? Right or wrong, that's what she knows him as.
And Langdon put Robbie's career and all their patients in jeopardy. Again, don't really see it as very unrealistic for him to not just get over it within a few hours of him being back.

This last episode made it clear for anyone who was still uncertain, but you are certainly not supposed to think Robby is making good interpersonal decisions this year. Wildly out of line with Mohan, and you should think about his interactions with Langdon in the broader context.
Yup, Robby has been a real pr/ck this season...and obviously suicidal. The scene with Mohan after her panic attack was rough, but part of me gets him lashing out at her.
I did love the scene with the orthobro…that dude played the surgeon with a God complex perfectly.

That's all good and well, but you're assuming Robbie had not seen Langdon the 10 months Langdon was out. Rehab for doctors (had a doctor friend go through it years ago) is 2-3 months. Then, each state has rules and regulations for getting his license back (rural states will take them back the day they walk out the door of rehab as they are so desperate for doctors while bigger ones could take a year or longer). There are meetings with state boards. Then, the hospital would have had meetings with Langdon and all the higher ups to set down the rules and see if Langdon would be taken back.
If Robbie didn't want Langdon there/back he would have had many opportunities to stop it and would have been in many meetings. Sometimes doctors are given their medical license but they can't return to their previous certain fields (e.g., an ER doc may be told to go into private GP/internal medicine practice or an anesthesiologist may not return to a setting where they have the easy access to so many medications which are highly addictive). This line of they had not talked or seen each other in the last 10 months is just total bull*****
A good friend since childhood is a surgeon - he has so many stories of anesthesiologists - one time the guy working with him that day would give himself a squirt of things out and accessible during surgery. He accidentally gave himself a squirt of the wrong thing and when he realized it he told my friend 'get another anesthesiologist in here fast because in a minute I'm going to....." and boom he hit the floor out cold!

Either we know the same people or there was another anesthesiologist who did this. Gave himself the paralytic instead of the propofol

This is what's funny. Santos and Mel met the guy (if I'm remembering right) and worked with him for part of a shift. Haven't seen him since but both act like they know him really well. I'd probably barely remember him or his name.

Likely a common thing unfortunately. Surgeon said one anesthesiologist drank alcohol during operations. He had his vodka in a flexible IV bag around his ankle or somewhere else. Then, he would thread the tubing up inside his clothes and have the other end pinned in a place and way where he could just lower his head and take a drink like from a straw. Forgot what my friend said was how he got caught.
That dudes sons died. this is going to be sad.

NGL. Was not expecting that from him. There are so many opinions on his response. I get both sides.
Robby was so concerned and caring until he released she’s having a panic attack. Because if HE can show up to work and try to function, then so can she because all daughters are destined to the same hell as their fathers. pic.twitter.com/eJpqkuVHfe

Ortho bro MD was Lou Ferrigno Jr.
Those of us Gen X know exactly who his old man is.

Related, I'm really enjoying Doctor Whitaker's surge in confidence this season.
He still has those moments where he reverts back to med student, but overall you can tell he's feeling it and knows that he knows what he's doing.
