[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t disagree that what Langdon did was awful but for me, the way the writers have written his character has made me more empathetic to him than Santos.

They’ve spent too much time hinting at a troubled background for her and by the time the reveal her history, I won’t care anymore. They haven’t written her as likable with anyone, not just Langdon. Even with the charting storyline, the others in her class have gotten theirs done so no sympathy for her for being behind. [/quote]

There isn't anyone else in Santos' "class" on staff. She's the only R2. It's the toughest year of residency -- interns get some extra help in learning the ropes and don't have as many patients, but R2s are assumed to have it figured out and will not only be expected to carry a full slate of patients but will also be expected to cover and support more senior residents with their patients, as we see when Mel (an R3) has to leave for a deposition and all of her patients are given to Santos to cover. Notice that Whitaker, an intern/R1, isn't asked to cover any of Mel's patients. That's pretty typical and is one of many reasons the R2 year is notorious for being pretty awful. But R3 you have figured out how to keep up with the workload PLUS you have more people working below you which you can use to your advantage.

Also in the first episode the reveal Santos is working a double shift, I think the only one doing so.

She's just having a really bad work day and I think does deserve sympathy just like any of them do. [/quote]
