      They certainly will be able to detect possible side effects of chemo, including cardiomyopathy. But determining known toxicity vs over treatment? How is that going to work exactly? But then, pathology at this hospital has demonstrated magical powers in every other episode...

      Did anyone tell the director that body bags aren't left open? People aren't in the morgue wearing body bags like they're in sleeping bags. She's also still wearing her head wrap, which I guess had to stay with her or we wouldn't recognize the character.

      Rich VIP patient is about to get some terrible care. And for haunted neurosurgeon, Conrad goes straight to...Spinal tap? Are the ghosts accompanied by fevers? Are spinal taps routine workup for delusions? Clearly the medical consultant is on vacation this week.

      Dr. Okefor comes to visit the Neurosurgeon and fangirls out about her surgeries, which she apparently has been watching since she was a little girl. Was there a straight-to-VHS neurosurgery video series I missed growing up? Or do the writers think YouTube has always existed?

      I get reading journal articles (although as a "little girl" I find this improbable), but surgical videos are a pretty newfangled thing with the spread of compact digital video equipment.

      HODAD is going to treat the VIP, a caudate lobectomy. Probability he rips the IVC? 100%.

      Maybe they can get the neurosurgeon to commune with Lily's ghost and find out what killed her.

      Surgery again with HODAD in a Deep Dark Pit. People realize we need to actually see right? HODAD refuses to tie off the hepatic veins because his technique is flawless and veins are only tied off "in case of error". Lethal exsanguination in 3....2....1.....

      Psych wants to hold the hallucinating neurosurgeon. Seems reasonable. Conrad lies to them and tells them she has a brain bleed. So now we have incompetence, diversion and lying to colleagues. But he's a great doctor so...

      Back to VIP, who is now bleeding internally, out of his mouth. That's right. Bleeding internally, but blood is coming out of his mouth. The medical consultants on this show are sooooo bad. If your liver bleeds into your abdomen, it doesn't come out your mouth.

      Replying to @MarkHoofnagle

      In fairness, HODAD could be so bad that he ALSO ripped a hole in the esophagus or stomach.
