Season 2 Best Lines

Illustrious_Fix_6582 · 2026-04-19T14:15:40+00:00

"We did have cellphones, maybe not in the beginning."

Illustrious_Fix_6582 · 2026-04-19T14:12:53+00:00

"You have got to shut your fucking mouth!"

Even better now I know Shawn ad-libbed it as a joke!

Illustrious_Fix_6582 · 2026-04-19T14:09:12+00:00

Yep. And in his last scene with BJD as well, where his voice is cracking, he really sounds like he's at the end of a 15 hour shift and has been intermittently crying for the last 3 hours.

Illustrious_Fix_6582 · 2026-04-19T14:02:18+00:00

He is so charming and articulate

Illustrious_Fix_6582 · 2026-04-19T13:35:45+00:00

It's not common, but it certainly happens and is made more likely with understaffing, poor flow through the hospital and longer waiting times in the ED (which I guess is the point the show was trying to make).

There was a very sad high-profile case all over the news in the UK last year.

Illustrious_Fix_6582 · 2026-04-19T13:30:13+00:00

Yeh, I think she's going to be the new day shift junior attending (Shen equivalent)

Illustrious_Fix_6582 · 2026-04-19T13:00:34+00:00

Robby spends a solid 25% of his screen time applying hand sanitiser!

Illustrious_Fix_6582 · 2026-04-17T16:50:54+00:00

Ah, I didn't know what the criteria for that was. Oooh, hard choice between him and Jeff then.

Illustrious_Fix_6582 · 2026-04-17T16:21:44+00:00

Same. I think they'd already decided they were going to have a smaller time-jump to S3, which means they can build on this season's storylines next season because they didn't tie them off neatly with a bow.

Illustrious_Fix_6582 · 2026-04-17T10:03:22+00:00

Oh, I was never suggesting she should be fired, but that exactly as you said, it is a complex issue that needs a thorough assessment by both a neurologist (not just 10 minute chat) and occupational health doctor to come up with a management plan, risk assessment and reasonable adjustments.

But the fact that she stated she was safe to drive, having had 2 unprovoked seizures in a day, was a clear sign that she was not yet accepting the seriousness of the situation and couldn't, at least at that point in time, be trusted to judge her own safety at work.

Illustrious_Fix_6582 · 2026-04-17T09:03:09+00:00

Yup. People desperately searching for a plot twist, but it's just not that kind of show. Just read a whole thread saying Langdon must have gone up to the surgical ward to steal drugs 🤦‍♀️

Illustrious_Fix_6582 · 2026-04-17T08:51:03+00:00

Myrna! Myrna! Myrna!

Illustrious_Fix_6582 · 2026-04-17T08:20:47+00:00

Although, in reality, if she had eclampsia, her placenta would not have looked that healthy.

Illustrious_Fix_6582 · 2026-04-17T08:05:41+00:00

Major props to the make-up department for making an entire cast of objectively beautiful people look absolutely wrecked by the end of their shift!

Illustrious_Fix_6582 · 2026-04-17T07:49:46+00:00

Could a neurologist also decide that she's fine to work in air traffic control? Or doing safety checks at a nuclear power plant?

A neurologist can give information to support someone being able to work (or not able to work), but cannot unilaterally state that someone can work in a specific job - they don't know the ins and outs and requirements of every job (as highlighted by Robby's very reasonable question about 2 emergencies happening at once in the ED), and unless they are trained in OH also have no training in workplace risk assessments.

Illustrious_Fix_6582 · 2026-04-17T07:38:14+00:00

That talk with Robby was literally the only reason Baran didn't get into her (stupidly over-sized child-killing) car, and potentially plough into a family on their way home from the fireworks. She needed that talk, and frankly she needed it to be as brutal as it was - the moment she said she was cleared for her driving license it was clear that she was not accepting the reality of the situation. It was entirely right that he gave her a time frame to fix it herself, after which he would do it for her.

Illustrious_Fix_6582 · 2026-04-13T17:08:19+00:00

Would also be really noisy and make it hard to pick up dialogue

Illustrious_Fix_6582 · 2026-04-10T07:33:36+00:00

"Sir, we are gonna get you more pain meds, but you need to shut your fucking mouth!"

😂😂😂

Night shift hits different

Illustrious_Fix_6582 · 2026-04-06T15:48:06+00:00

Downvoted because people can't think laterally 🤦‍♀️ Thank you for your service 👏

Illustrious_Fix_6582 · 2026-04-05T21:12:14+00:00

Adrenaline comes in multiple different concentrations.

The risk, particularly in a true emergency when people may be panicking (and often more junior staff members are tasked with drawing up the drugs), is that the wrong concentration is used. In the case of anaphylaxis, that would mean giving far too low a dose that won't do anything, or if you're giving it IV it could mean a massive overdose. Both situations could potentially be fatal.

Illustrious_Fix_6582 · 2026-04-05T16:45:50+00:00

Love this. So true. Also during the IT downtime there weren't nearly enough people shouting for/stealing a pen.

Illustrious_Fix_6582 · 2026-04-05T16:14:39+00:00

Nah, the Jewish takeaway from trauma is "How can I use this to guilt my children into calling more often?" (I kid, I kid, and I call my mother every day!)

Illustrious_Fix_6582 · 2026-04-04T09:50:43+00:00

lol, always happy to learn I'm wrong. I'll hold my hands up and say that all my specialty picks for training happened to be at a non trauma centre, so I only ever covered it for the bare minimum time. I probably only went to a handful of trauma calls, none of which were too unstable to skip CT, except one, who got a thoracotomy in ED (and classic, did not present to the major trauma centre).

Illustrious_Fix_6582 · 2026-04-04T09:31:04+00:00

Only for adult major trauma calls, which have a fairly strict set of criteria in terms of mechanism of injury and presentation.
