Has anyone remotely recovered from watching the gut-wrenching child drowning caseThe Pittoffered uplast week?
Great, me either.
Not his best work, but, you know, everybodys trying.
And with that, the team carries on with its day.
The anti-masker throws a punch and winds up with the other womans tooth in her fist.
The holy trinity of crowd control, Robby applauds.
the woman greatly in need of dental work yells.
Shell take surgerywiththe masks, as it turns out.
Oh, reader, did I clap.
Langdon has a bit of a wild ride in this episode.
If youve been waiting for the tension between him and Dr. Santos to erupt, this is your time.
An MDMA overdose case comes in from PittFest, and the womans core temp is 107.
Thats not just hot, friends, thats could-fry-your-brain hot.
Its risky, but shes right, and the seizing stops.
Trinity tells him that the delay in alerting him was her fault and the saline idea was Mohans.
Consolidate his ire, she says.
It seems … very unlike her, but okay.
Hes loud, hes mean, hes degrading, and Trinity is doing her best not to cry.
Thankfully for her, not for Langdon Robby walks in and shuts it down.
Now its Langdons turn to get ripped into.
Robby pulls him aside, and for maybe the first time weve seen, he raises his voice.
He yells, Shut the fuck up at his senior resident/little buddy.
Shaming and belittling are not effective teaching tools, he says!
Hes been watching Langdon ride Santos harder than any of the other younger residents, he loudly points out!
This kind of behavior will not be tolerated, he makes quite clear!
You are senior leadership here.Step up and act like it.
Oof, thats rough for Langdon.
For us, its kind of hot.
If only he were wearing his slutty little glasses.
I guess we cant have it all.
He and Mel have created a rather sweet rapport.
Its much easier to do with Mel.
Youre all pretty green, but youve grown on me, he tells his least problematic trainee.
Could you imagine if Trinity saw this?
He reminds Mel that what they do is hard.
And all of them, at one time or another, question whether theyre cut out for this job.
Its all so nice!
Langdon remains a mystery to me.
What is his deal?
Why is he so lovely and charming here and such an asshole when it comes to Trinity?
I know shes prickly, but his fuse seems nonexistent when shes around.
She honestly couldnt be more excited.
After her break, Mel is back in action.
It was desperately needed.
Im still processing just how unsettling and frightening the encounter is.
It is a splash-of-cold-water reminder of how vulnerable these workers are dealing with some angry people every day.
Discharge Papers
Wow,The Pittis really sending mixed messages with this postpartum-endometritis case.
Did we need to?
Im sorry, does Dennis Whitaker have game?
But also dont sleep on Whitakers other move: snapping one of the still-loose rats neck under a sheet.
Disturbing, sure, but the farm boy in the ER proves quite helpful.
Ask him out, Nurse Kim!
Theresa finds Robby after finishing up with the therapist but still hasnt heard from her son David.
He asks her to stay a little longer and see if he shows.
Before he knows it, Robby sees a few cops approach Theresa.
Did McKay call them in?
