[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I fear a relapse for Dr. Langdon. He doesn’t seem to have a strong support system, starting with work.[/quote]

He has to build that support system. He can't expect people like Robby and Santos, or Al-Hashimi for that matter, to just step up and give him the support he needs. He has serious amends to make with Robby and Santos, and he has to recognize that Al-Hashimi's first responsibility is to the ED itself, not Langdon specifically. She can be supportive of his recovery but only if he's honest with her and does the work.

McKay has already offered Langdon probably the most meaningful form of support as he returns to work, as a recovering addict herself who works in the same job and has a lot of years under her belt. He should definitely take her up on her offer to talk. And Dana has also been very supportive and a cheerleader for him, he should take heart in that and look to her for that kind of support during shifts if appropriate.

He also should have a sponsor by now, and given the type of program he's in, it should probably be another doctor in recovery. Hopefully he reaches out to that person after this shift to talk through some of the stuff that came up and address the challenges.

He's also very lucky his wife didn't leave him, and she should be a key part of his support system.

But expecting Robby, Santos, or Al-Hashimi to be his support system at this stage is crazy. If his recovery depends on him having his hand held by the mentor he lied to and betrayed, the colleague he tried to get fired when she turned him in, or his new boss who doesn't know him at all, then yes, he will fail. Those are not appropriate sources of support for him.[/quote]
