[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can’t stand the way Robby treats Mohan, probably the best doctor there, with empathy to boot. So hard on her. [/quote]

He is *such* a jerk to her, even last season when he was less of a jerk overall.

I feel like this will ultimately be explained as him trying to dissuade Mohan from emergency medicine because he thinks she's too sensitive (like him) and wants to spare her the grief and burnout. But it's impossible for it not to read as him taking out aggression on a female, not white, but incredible bly competent doctor with good bedside manner, while doting on Whitaker and talking him up all the time. And Langdon, another white guy, was his favorite before that. [/quote]

Actually, I think there were genuine questions about her competence even last season. She might not be cut out for this. [/quote]

It wasn't a question about her competence, it was Robby telling her she needed to spend less time talking to patients because they had a lot of pressure to treat patients more quickly and she needed to get her numbers up. That's not a competence issue, it's a speed and style issue.

Mohan might not be well suited for emergency medicine, sure. She's exploring other specialties for her fellowship and it's clear she's being thoughtful about what makes the most sense for her -- she might do better in a specialty where she can spend more time with patients and where there is lower stress overall. A good attending would be honest with her about her suitability for the specialty *without being an a**hole.* Mohan is not stubborn or arrogant, there's no indication that the only way to get through to her is to be blunt to the point of rudeness.

We've also seen her do her job very, very well on many occasions so I'm not convinced for certain that she isn't "cut out for it." The way Robby is behaving this season indicates HE might not be cut out for it, actually. Which is why it was especially rich when he was unloading on Mohan and telling her to "get it together" and learn to leave her life at the door. He is doing neither, it's BS. Mohan is more with it on this shift than Robby is, by a mile, and his behavior towards her is totally uncalled for. Her performance is actually extra impressive when you consider she's dealing with the added stress of being berated by her boss multiple times a day.[/quote]
I kind of wonder if Robby thinks he's "mentoring" her, because she is too empathetic. He wants her to avoid the emotional connections that have caused his PTSD. Not agreeing with him, but this could be part of his motivation.[/quote]

Ah this is a good point. Maybe he does see himself in her, which is triggering, causing him to be an arse. But he also tries to use tough love to keep her from going down the same path. Still disrespectful and hard to watch so hopefully it will be resolved soon. [/quote]
