[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who's the biggest ahole tonight? Robby, Santos, or the surgeons? [/quote]
Langdon
He was aggressively sh!tty to Santos last season because she was catching on to his addiction and eventually reported him. She should have been his first apology. He was an arrogant addict and he’s arrogant in recovery, expecting her to accept his authority with no remorse on his part.[/quote]
He was also on her because she was doing reckless stuff without approval that endangered patients and not following procedure.  There was no saint in that dynamic.

And yes, she has to accept his authority regardless of anyone's personal feelings because that how the hierarchy in an ED works.

Santos was right about Langdon's drug use, but that doesn’t make her right about everything.[/quote]

Yes Santos is pushing unnecessary procedures on patients and Langdon is restraining her.  Al-Hashimi was right there and agreed with Langdon.  It's not being nice to let Santos push more invasive procedures on patients when it's not medically required and it's appropriate for Langdon to teach her restraint.  Otherwise she'll put people through unnecessary pain and recovery. [/quote]

I also read Santos' pushing for more invasive procedures as a form of hyper vigilance that is common in people who grew up in abusive or neglectful situations. She views Langdon as an unsafe person (fairly -- she barely knows him, their relationship started with him lying and gaslighting her, and she almost certainly fears retribution for her reporting him to Robby) and it's making her brain work too hard to try and keep everyone safe. Herself AND the patient.

I think this situation is on Santos AND Langdon. He really should have spoken to Santos, or maybe written her a letter or requested a meeting, prior to working a shift together. What I expect Langdon will say when he gets the chance is that Santos was right to call him out, that in the end she did him a huge favor by forcing him to deal with his addiction, and that he does not hold it against her and will never try to punish her for it. I think that's where Langdon is mentally and that he's genuinely doing the work, but Santos has not heard that yet and doesn't trust it. They need to repair via clear communication. Langdon is clearly ready for that, Santos is being avoidant, it needs to happen.[/quote]
