I love the show but it’s a little implausible that Santos solved the Langdon thing in one shift and apparently no one noticed before. But, given the hour by hour format there was really no other way to do that storyline.

I find Robbie deeply comforting. The world seems so devoid of people with leadership skills right now. Robbie for president! Actually, Noah wyle for president!

My take was that Santos saw precisely because she is an outsider, so she doesn’t have this longstanding relationship with the “golden boy.”

It’s her first day in the ER. Was it the other residents first day too?

Why isn’t Whitaker a Dr yet? I didn’t think they would allow a medical student work in the ER like that?

I’m curious what happens with next seasons. Will it be the next day? Next month? Next year? Is the same cast coincidentally working the same shift?

They addressed levels in the first episode. Whitaker and Javadi are both still med students. They are doing their clinical clerkship rotations -- you rotate through several specialties to get practical experience and develop soft skills that cannot be learned in school. Javadi is a 3rd year and Whitaker is a 4th year. Santos is an intern, which means she's graduated med school (and thus a doctor) but she still has medical boards to take before she becomes a resident.

King and McKay are both 2nd year residents, but McKay started her residency at the Pitt whereas King transferred there from another hospital (a VA hospital). So King is more experienced than Whitaker/Javadi/Santos, but is new to the hospital so she is learning the ropes with them to some degree.

Mohan is a 3rd year resident, and you can really see how she's sort of a bridge between the newer doctors/med students and the more senior staff.

Collins and Langdon are senior residents, according to the show. This would generally make them 4th year residents in an emergency medicine program. This seems a bit odd to me because Collins reads as older and more experienced to me. Perhaps she did another residency prior to the ER?

And then Robby is an attending, and appears to be a very well established one. I feel like normally there would be at least one other attending in an ER this busy, but maybe I'm wrong. There's also Garcia, the surgeon, but she's clearly a resident, not an attending, or she wouldn't be stuck down in the ER all the time screening cases for surgical. Whereas Javadi's mom is clearly a surgical attending.

Wow! Thanks, I didn’t pick up all that in the first episode. So if Javadi is only in her third year of med school, why is she referred to as a dr? I thought you aren’t a dr until you graduate medical school.

They introduce the students to patients as student doctors and ask permission for the student to be there.

Yeah, “student doctor” was a thing for a very long time. At least at the med school where I work, that is no longer permitted because you don’t want confusion about who is and is not a doctor. Our students must introduce themselves as a “medical student.”

I could have sworn I heard someone refer to med student Javadi as “Dr. Javadi” on the show which would actually be incorrect then.

Is it possible they were referring to her mother? Whitaker was definitely reminding people that he was not a doctor until next year.

I wouldn’t watch another season with that character— there are enough a$$holes getting away with it in real life.i don’t need to pay HBO to watch more.
Love seeing NW again— makes me want to go watch ER again. Off to look for where it might be available for streaming.
