      Conrad (sociopath MD) and NP don't like that the parents want to check out the Confused/dump/hemoptysis lady. I agree, she was coughing up blood like 5 minutes ago. Rather than discuss with the family though they immediately go to lying and undermining family wishes.

      Most people are pretty reasonable, and if you at least explain your reasoning they'll give you an hour. I don't know why it's admirable that the constant recourse of our hero is lying and fraud.

      This is the stupidest dramatic conflict ever, the patients parents can't wait a single minute more to discharge her because they have to treat her schizophrenia this minute. Said no one ever.

      The writers of this show seem to think it's cute when men can't take no for an answer. I find it rapey, not charming. Okefor was very clear why she is not into heart transplant dude. His response, "you can't just leave me here." Yes she can. She said no. Go away.

      Apparently this patient passes out when she sees bad art.

      Wegeners. Of course. And again, the most unrealistic thing about this show is their pathology service. They did immunofluorescence in the middle of the night? Seriously, 5 business days minimum.

      Esophageal perf guy has already had surgery, the same night, and is awake and talking? Like in the same hour. His dressing is on his neck but he seemed to be having a tension pneumo before with crepitus on his R chest and SOB. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

      This show is happening in a parallel universe where time is frozen, so all procedures and tests can be completed during a swanky party. Or... This party has been going on for 7 days.

      I think everything that happened in this episode could have been accomplished without Conrad constantly lying. This is the worst aspect of this show. Conrad is a bad person and a bad doctor.

      And they didn't go into dumping at all, why it happens, why hospitals do it, why EMTALA is an unfunded mandate, really superficial coverage of a serious problem. This show sucks. But it looks like denouement is next episode, the end is in sight!

      I think there are only 10 episodes this season.
