      To rescue NP Nic from prison, Conrad calls in Daddy. Now for some accuracy. Nothing quite like the privilege of the wealthy to circumvent the justice system.

      The cardiologists, who seems like he is competent is unfortunately using a pretty low rent bedside ultrasound to do echo. Maybe realistic for an ICU, but usually they're wheeling around a monstrous machine.

      Conrad actually does a solid and suggests he should deliver the news. Absolutely yes, Okafor, being in a personal relationship with the patient should have stepped back long ago.

      Conrad's dad bails out Nic, says, "Money makes problems disappear in our legal system, it's not a level playing field, just like medicine." I would argue people who spend more money to get VIP treatment get worse care, but whatever.

      The intern and the ED doc continue the sex shaming of Okafor over the heart transplant patient, "The sex must have been amazing, it did give him a heart attack." So, discussing the sexual performance of colleagues re the imminent death of her boyfriend, at work. Classy.

      Olivia, they hypochondriac is back, and they yell at her. Very professional. She complains about a rash. Look at it. Reassure. Don't yell at the patient. He finds out she got diagnosed with Lymphoma by Lane Hunter. Now that would be malpractice.

      They realize you don't just diagnose people with cancer without things like tissue, biopsies, imaging etc.? This is not a subjective finding.

      I'm curious to see how Hunter pulled off this magical conspiracy. Does she have a radiologist and pathologist on the take as well? This is the problem with conspiracy theories, they rapidly become nonparsimonious explanations of the data. Too many people have to coordinate.

      Now the CT surgeons are saying to Okafor, "only a someone with God-given talent and an ego the size of Texas" would try to help her heart transplant boyfriend. Again, medicine as magic. Surgeons get good by study, and practice (my favorite line from "Dr. Strange")

          This will be their excuse to bring in AJ Austin (in the flesh) to arrive and be terrible to everybody. If my medical care requires the involvement of such a terrible human interacting with my loved ones, let me die.

          He already knows about it, calls her "princess" and deigns to offer her help. This guy is the worse tool, he says, "Medicine is art balanced by science, fortunately I happen to be Rembrandt."

          The science of medicine *would* give you the ability to quote odds on such a patient. The art of medicine is less about surgical skill (which is practice) than it is about compassionate care of patients, which involves not being a terrible monster who mistreats people.

          Nic, the Intern and Conrad meet in a radiology reading room (always dim lighting because drama) and talk about how Lane is just giving chemo to healthy people. Without tissue, without labs, without imaging, that is some brash malpractice. I thought it was just "too much chemo"?

          They bring this to the CEO. Not the right person. I would suggest going to one of the many people from patient advocacy, to risk management, to the medical board, rather than her lover/hospital administrator. Or maybe, just maybe, tell the patient?

          Contacting the FBI is interesting. Sure, if medicare fraud, it's really HHS/OIG which uses FBI to assist them. More likely you would go here, https://www.medicare.gov/forms-help-and-resources/report-fraud-and-abuse/report-fraud/reporting-fraud.html … rather than directly to the FBI.

          What's wrong with this sentence, "Have you diagnosed healthy patients with incurable cancer in order to treat them? Because there's a patient in our ER you diagnosed with lymphoma..." Lymphoma is treatable, and often curable.

          Lane says the difference between a low WBC count and cancer is subtle. Yeah right. HODAD offers to have her bring any questionable files to his apartment to burn them. I think he's setting her up. If she brought any I'd be like, thanks, that makes it easier.

          AJ Austin says, "I am not cutting anyone open with the cast of Deliverance assisting. WHere is Dr. Okafor?" That is a discriminatory comment and should result in immediate firing. Dr. Okafor is the patient's boyfriend/lover and is inappropriate to assist. Fire everybody!pic.twitter.com/Z3Xe3WGaSA

          She enters, "Well hello Dolly". Please do not call your colleague, "Dolly". Unless her name is Dolly. Again, this abominable monster wants to operate without going on pump, because he'll end up "pump headed" - like when he got the transplant in the first place?

          Then he puts the saw down, "Fine we'll go on pump." Wait a minute. How are they going to put him on bypass without the sternotomy? Are they talking ecmo? What am I missing here?

          Looks like ecmo. That's like the ugliest ecmo access I've ever seen. Did they cut down on the vessels with a chainsaw? They complain about scar tissue, AJ says, "I will fix this" yes, lysis isn't magic. It makes things harder, not impossible. I'm glad they found the bovie.

          But oddly, this is the one time they might be better using sharp instruments rather than bovie in this instance. They also notably appear to have used a shot from an actual surgery in there. It's the first time it didn't look like doll parts.

          AJ Austin says, "Deader than a doornail, that is, until I bring Lazarus back to life." Uggh, the least subtle God complex ever. Then he wants Okafor to sew in the dacron graft. She refuses, appropriately, she has no business in here. He tells her "UPS is hiring"

          Nothing is worse than this character. Sorry, next season someone will have to take over for me, it's just too stupid. He bullies Okafor into performing a grotesque act of unethical, inappropriate care. Don't operate on your loved ones FFS.

          So hunter goes into her office which has a keypad login. Games up already. You think they won't look at keylogs? I'm just hoping HODAD has her arrested when she shows up with the records. But wait! FBI caught her. HODAD sold her out. Good.

          It ends a patient asking, "am I safe here" when they say they need to admit her. The answer is no. No, this hospital is terrible. The people are terrible. The heroes are only good relative to an oncologist FABRICATING CANCER DIAGNOSES.

          There are no winners here. The characters the writers think are heroic are monsters, the representation of what bad doctors are absurd caricatures, comic book villains that put the monstrous actions of the supposed "good" characters into a falsely-positive light.

          Medicine is represented as magic, rather than a thoughtful, science-based practice in which study and training are important. In this universe doctoring is like being an X-man, a mutation, you're born with it. Not something that you dedicate yourself to.
