[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who's the biggest ahole tonight? Robby, Santos, or the surgeons? [/quote]

Robby.

Santos is a childish, insolent, arrogant piece of shit and her lover surgeon girlfriend person or whatever rightly put her in her place. Her seething as Langdon instructed was really something. Obviously, she's a head case and probably has serious mental health issues, as we saw hinted at with the cutting.

The orthopedic surgeon was just being a surgeon. Every surgeon I've ever known has been like that. God complexes. The man has the ability to reattach a limb, so he's somewhat entitled.

Robby just got nasty. It's obvious he's on his last nerve. But he seems to be losing his compassion and empathy for his staff as the day goes on. He generally retains it for his patients (see how he treated Howard), but he really has it in for his colleagues and especially his subordinates in this episode. Al-Hashimi was right to call him out on it.

I did like the Becca-Mel scene, watching Mel process that her sister was getting laid. Even Mel, who's clearly more highly functioning with the autism, sort of had some narrative in her head that people with intellectual disabilities wouldn't boink. Ironic, eh?

[b]I did find it ironic that Dana, who runs a tight ship, would so casually commit insurance fraud on the nicotine patch, implicating Dr. Mohan in the process.[/b]

What do we think Mohan's mother wants? In fact, we have a couple of storylines going now about troubled relationships with parents. Javarti being counseled to give her a mother a chance, she might surprise you, really was heartbreaking when she got dressed down, eh? "More talented people upstairs."

Yes. I didn’t like this. Javadi was 100% to question it. Dana broke the law.[/quote]

Yeah, I actually thought this was very unlike Dana’s character. Why would she jeopardize her license/career over this? She is a leader and I don’t think she would really want to impress upon younger nurses that they should risk their livelihood trying to get drugs for others.[/quote]

I disagree. Dana is super-practical and does what needs to be done to get through the shift. She seems like she's done this before and I assume that it's probably pretty common to ask the dr.'s for scripts[/quote]

Agreed. This is not a big deal to me because she's getting a scrip for nicotine gum. This isn't a risky prescription, it's literally just a slightly higher dose than what is available OTC (which is why Dana requested it -- Monica has a serious smoking issue and the OTC stuff isn't going to cut it). Dana is a medical professional and knows the details of Monica's symptoms and history, and is not trying to get her access to a controlled substance or something that will harm her. The exchange is done to address a real medical condition Monica has (nicotine dependence) and no one is lying or cheating the symptom. It's definitely not "insurance fraud."

If they had wanted to be extra cautious, Mohan could have turned to Monica and asked her two questions about her smoking and given her a quick spiel about side effects, risk of dependence, and to keep the gum stored away from kids and pets. That's the standard practice with nicotine gum. But it would really just be a formality.

I get that people are weirded out by the idea of a nurse just telling a doctor "please sign this pre-filled scrip out for me" but Mohan rightly asked what it was and it was and Dana truthfully explained it and was ultimately okay signing it. If it had been for a drug that could actually harm Monica, she probably would not have (nor would Dana have asked).[/quote]
