[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Joy is becoming my new favorite.

Robby giving away his apartment and the "if I don't come back" line are another in his parade of red flags.[/quote]

Joy has been stealth awesome for weeks and these last two episodes it's becoming un-stealth. Meanwhile Ogilvie continues to grate.

Ogilvie's main move is to immediately blame a patient for their symptoms and lecture them on some aspect of health within seconds of meeting them. He judges first, asks questions later (if at all). In this most recent episode, it was the guy with the kidney stone, with Ogilvie immediately lecturing him on how dehydration can contribute to stone formation (even though it was established at that point that this guy has had stones before and obviously knows this). No one has said anything to Ogilvie directly about this, but I do hope it's coming because he desperately needs someone to dress him down. It's not even just about being empathetic or compassionate. It's about being a good doctor. Doctors who have trash bedside manner and make assumptions and condescend to patients are bad doctors. Your patient is your best resource for information. Ogilvie is very book smart but he is going to make mistakes and become a sloppy, careless doctor if he doesn't realize that.

However, doctors like Ogilvie are not uncommon at all. So if he's never called out, or if he's called out and it clearly doesn't sink. in, that would be realistic too. [/quote]
