      It's 10 minutes until the new season of TV's worst medical conspiracy show #theresident on Fox. Season 2 episode 1 '00:42:30' - the hospital experiences a blackout, and for some reason has no emergency generators. Let me guess Conrad is going to endanger lives out of "heroism."pic.twitter.com/ujn42rA0L3

      The episode again seems to have begun with a proposition by Conrad to have sex with Nic at work. First fireable offense of the new season!

      Dr. Okefor goes to see her heart transplant boyfriend who she inappropriately performed surgery on last season. It's a good thing that went well. Dr "in the flesh" Austin is promising to perform heart surgery on a premature infant. Not a pediatric cardiac surgeon but hey.

      The idea that such a surgery on such a small infant is some kind of guaranteed success as Austin suggests is...inappropriate. Usually, if at all possible, you try to grow the baby unless it's an immediate life-threatening problem. Must be planning a Norwood procedure.

      Because there are no separations of specialties at all, apparently Conrad and the intern are now in the neonatal ICU, rather than say pediatricians or surgical residents. Then for some reason they just start examining the dad at bedside. Are there only 3 doctors in this hospital?

      Ok fair, hypoplastic left heart, that would be considered even in a very small infant. The Norwood, the first part of a staged series of operations that lets the right heart function as a "common ventricle" when the left heart is too underdeveloped. Has their consulting improved?

      Looks like not. Austin is planning to do this (when was he a pediatric cardiac surgeon again?) with a 2nd year resident rather than say, a fellow or another attending.

      Very realistic, the kid will not get off the phone long enough to make eye contact with Nic.

      And now the drama. Power loss, and apparently no emergency generators. Like, we've never thought of what if there's a thunderstorm?

      In fairness, when I was a resident one Saturday night the power went off, and the generator didn't kick in for a half hour. We were bagging patients in the ICU the whole time and there was at least one case in progress in the ORs

          Woof, that would be terrible. I've never had anything more than a click - everything is plugged into the reds.
