[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I sometimes feel like I'm watching a totally different show than people on here.

Dr. Ellis wasn't necessarily dictating to Mel what to say in her deposition. She was also trying to reassure Mel that she hadn't done anything wrong.

The measles case happened at the end of last scene and involved an anti-vax mom whose kid is brought into the ER with the measles. The doctors wanted to do a spinal tap to save her kids life, but the mom wanted to "do her own research." The dad, who was not an idiot, gave permission for the spinal tap. Apparently that mom is now suing the hospital and Mel over the spinal tap, claiming it has caused "intellectual disabilities", which is a BS injury, since spinal taps do not cause intellectual disability and are actually safe, routine procedures that doctors do all the time (I have had a spinal tap).

Dr. Ellis knows they aren't supposed to talk about the depositions but she also knows that Mel is freaking out and that, since Mel is a deeply empathetic person who is also neurodivergent, may be distracted by her own sense of responsibility for her own patients into admitting fault for something that not only isn't Mel's fault, but isn't even real.

Earlier in the season, we saw Robby do the same thing, not talking specifically about the case but just explaining that doctor's get sued and you just have to go and tell the truth, which is that you did your job.

The fact that the depo is on the afternoon of July 4th is silly, but if you let that go, the rest of the plot line makes sense and is interesting.[/quote]

I hated that scene, Mel is one of the few characters on the show really worth rooting for her, I just don't see her standing there and listening to information she is not supposed to hear.[/quote]
