[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I also liked this episode, even though I felt frustrated when it ended because things are really ramping up and I didn't want to say goodbye for a whole week.

I am glad that seen with Robby and Al-Hashimi happened early in the episode, where she's just like "wow everyone here seems messed up, there need to be more attendings to deal with it." She's right but can the hospital even afford that? Without giving up other staffing? I feel like that's a central part of the problem -- these people are constantly asked to do more with less and of course they are burned out.

[b]Did Joy really just leave? [/b]On the one hand, more power to her for having some boundaries and leaving at the end of her shift (she'd been there for 12 hours, that is enough). On the other hand, I like Joy and would like to see more of her so I'm disappointed. Maybe she'll wind up back at the hospital for another reason (not imminent death, please). [/quote]

I found this to be very accurate and a reflection of current times and GenZ attitudes.

She wants to go into pathology because she hates people anyway, so what does she care? [/quote]

PP here. I didn't find it unrealistic -- it seems fully in keeping with her character. I'm just bummed to see her go because I really like her character and feel she's a valuable counterbalance to some of the other people on the show.

Also I don't think she actually hates people. I think she is a very emotionally mature person who gets tired of dealing with people who are mostly pretty emotionally stunted. She strikes me as someone who was likely parentified as a child and therefore has spent most of her life having to be the practical, competent one to help others in her family. I suspect her aversion to the ED has to do with that, and recognizing she doesn't want to go right from a childhood where she always had to be the grown up even to parents and grand parents, to a career where she sees a lot of doctors taking on that same role with regards to their patients and to other doctors.

Pathologists still deal with people all the time, like any professional does, but they don't have the same level of responsibility to their patients (there is still a responsibility, but it's fundamentally different because their patients are dead) as an ED doc does. Kudos to Joy for figuring that out early -- I suspect many people in this ED have similar issues, actually, but they didn't figure that out.[/quote]

If I can predict the future ...

I think Ogilvie will run screaming from emergency medicine.

But I think Joy will grow to love it.

(I also think Mohan will accept the suggestions to do geriatrics, and I think Javadi will get out of medicine entirely, or maybe do psych.) [/quote]
