Again, the doctor, who is apparently "good" treats the patient by participating in their delusional behavior. That's not treatment, that's just abuse.

It's a consistent theme of this show, that while complaining about error, and patient harm, this show lionizes characters who lie, cheat, steal, batter, sexually-assault, and deliver unethical, harmful care. In the first episode Conrad even attempted murder.

Then when it comes time to finally do something about HODAD, he's finally screwed up to the point that he's vulnerable, our heroes don't want to be whistleblowers, don't want to go on record about observable, ridiculous criminal behavior.

I've said it before, there's a great smart show that could be made about the complex relationship between care, error, and hospital profits, but this is not it. People are harmed by good people with good intentions more often than ridiculous comic book villains.

HODAD in a genius move of villainy, blames the cameras for the problem. Uses the "NetTube" video to show the administrators incompetence. I agree, the fact that someone could access video from this hospital means she should be fired.

The truly horrific plotline, ignored here, is that someone easily accessed video from patient care areas, including ORs, where people are nude, undergoing procedures, and completely vulnerable. This is a sick violation of privacy, and it's not even the point of the episode.

Finally, Conrad confronts Hunter, and she rightly puts him in his place. After all, what evidence do they actually have? None. Only evidence that would convince a conspiracy theorist - belief. But because this is a conspiracy show, I'm sure he'll be right in the end.

The hypochondriac is back, and now insisting to see an oncologist - who will be Hunter. Let me guess, she gives her chemo without a tissue diagnosis for fun and profit while cackling and saying, "excellent."

HODAD is now CEO, his first act, firing Nic. She'll be fine. Lots of jobs for NPs out there. Why would you want to work at this place anyway if you're really convinced it's being run by HODADs and murderers?

This is the Infowars of medical drama.

Indeed it is. Fortunately, there are only two episodes left. Whatever will you do with your Monday nights after the season (and hopefully series) finale? (Unfortunately, the ratings look good enough that #TheResident will probably be renewed.)
