I'm not really sure if I bought Robby trying so hard to save that girl who was clearly gone or his step son blaming him for her death. I hate the redemption arc for Santos.

Why would Santos need a redemption arc? She’s proven to be extremely competent and caught out a doctor stealing drugs and working high.

No. A past abortion does not cause miscarriages in future pregnancies. WTF?

Not always but I think that's what the show was implying.

The politics of the show does not support this. They are definitely pro-choice. Not that this happened to Collins but, a botched back alley abortion can lead to later fertility issues or even death, which is why legal abortion and the right to choose is so important.

Because she’s annoying?

More than annoying, she takes risks she's not authorized to take, she gives her co-workers unkind nicknames, and she's quick to accuse people of serious offenses with little proof. But the show keeps having her get vindicated for her actions.

Interesting. Are they trying to write her out? Or testing to see if the viewers don’t her?

They left a gray area about the parent's rights of a mother whose daughter was trying to get an abortion without her consent.

I think the actress who plays Dana should be nominated for an Emmy.

I think Collins and McKay are both senior residents, but Collins seems much more competent and independent.

So you only liked her because they portrayed a black doctor as competent?

She keeps succeeding, in other words.

For those who don't understand the importance of the scene with Collins and the black mother who was so relieved and thankful that someone finally listened and provided appropriate treatment, there is a ton of literature demonstrating that black patients are consistently treated dismissively in medical settings. The Pitt is trying to be a realistic show, and that is a realistic scene.

Yes we know that. Thank you for the continued enlightenment.

She's so so good! I think the show is really well cast in general, but she's a gem. I also think Whitaker and King are excellent.
