      I've been trying to ignore this incredibly stupid side plot. Intern improbably diagnoses an amoebic encephalopathy, they run path which apparently involves video of colorful objects running across a computer screen.

      The drug is too expensive for their hospital to stock. Do they transfer the patient to a real hospital center that has it? The patient is uninsured so the solution is the "glacial sun", a reference I guess to the arctic sun, a relatively boring cooling device used in ICUs.

      Psychopath Austin is getting ready to operate on the nice old lady while she's awake, apparently it's such a hassle not to have a silent patient he will have a panic attack rather than be decent to a pleasant person for one hour.

      Apparently psychopath Austin is so completely unhinged by normal people a little old lady talking makes it so he can't hold surgical instruments, but he's a great doctor, really, and should be hired and kept around.

      Everyone asks if the patient is insured before this drug for amoebic encephalitis will be prescribed. So, no. EMTALA basically makes this an absurdity. But the shows solution is to turn out gang members to raise money.

      The "glacial sun" changes the patients temperature in about 10 seconds. So many stupid dramatizations, so little time. Back to Austin in the OR, he calls for the trauma surgeon to come in, apparently to mock him and have him leave again. I don't get the point of this scene.

      The old lady patient is coding, the trauma surgeon arrives to help. Austin uses him as an example of someone who, "listens, learns, and understands" for Okafor. Does this tweet not make sense? I agree. Because the show makes no sense. Just rewound it 5 times. It's nonsense.

      I've now reached the point where there is so little narrative sense in a scene I can't even figure out what to make fun of. The trauma surgeon shows up to help, Austin says he's not needed while standing with his arms crossed in the corner, a patient is coding.

      Austin is using the trauma surgeon for some kind of bizarre object lesson. He "served his purpose". What purpose? What just happened? My wife is insisting I move on. Apparently I have put more thought into this scene than the writers. If I rewind it again she will leave me.

      And, from the sound of it, you'd deserve to have her leave you if you did that.
