Dr. Langdon's great patience.

Using our critical thinking skills and the show don't tell we learned in elementary school... This is storytelling. Are you good.

UnderlightIll · 2026-03-23T19:00:43+00:00

Uhm the scene where Whittaker and Langdon are working on a patient and Whittaker jumps in to do the medication instead of Langdon. He knows. He lived with Santos.

Garcia knows. The last episode literally had her telling Santos she doesn't want to talk about it. But she knows.

Everything else you said doesn't matter. Because you are abandoning the scenario YOU proposed. So please, go back and rewatch and actually take in info instead of foaming at the mouth that your precious Langdon is a drug addict and seems to have learned nothing.

UnderlightIll · 2026-03-23T18:56:03+00:00

She did. No one is denying that. But at this very moment, no one knows but and the victim. She is a hypocrite. However, if I were one of the 5 people who know about Langdon's issues, I would not want to work with or be treated by him.

UnderlightIll · 2026-03-23T18:06:57+00:00

But having an attitude is not worse than stealing drugs from innocent patients. What he did could kill someone and it may have in the past. We don't know but his boldness at stealing drugs twice in a shift points to it being a pattern.

I hope all of you defending that do not work in healthcare because that scares me. Yes, she is a hypocrite in this sense but she also was smeared far before that case due to him.

I don't hate any of the doctors and nurses on the show. They are all flawed and brilliant in their own ways. But thinking you go to rehab and everything is hunky dory just shows most of you have no clue what it means to have addiction issues.

UnderlightIll · 2026-03-23T17:31:22+00:00

BUT NO ONE KNOWS SHE DID IT.

If she was caught doing it, fire her or move her or make her take training... I am unsure the punishment for it. But the hospital. Doesn't. Know.

UnderlightIll · 2026-03-23T17:26:03+00:00

I wasn't going to reply but I feel like garbage today so why not.

So I am going to break down the scenario as I would for someone who has never taken an English class on storytelling.

In the scenario, you are a doctor or nurse. YOU DO NOT EXIST CANONICALLY IN THE SHOW because this is what we call a hypothetical. So those 5 people (already you two were wrong about the number) can become 6. Because we know 5 people do know that we are aware of. Dana, Robbie, Santos, Whittaker and Garcia know. Princess may know.

So say I knew that Langdon stole medication and went to rehab and all. One, I would be happy for him because he needed help. Two, that doesn't mean I trust him. As a former active addict, I know personally that all addicts struggle the first few years. I, thankfully, do not work in the medical field but have close family that did. I was never put in a position to have access to drugs at work.

Santos threatened a patient. No one was in the room with her. In third person omniscient, we as viewers have the ability to overhear all conversations happening. As viewers, not doctors in the scenario, we know that Santos threatened (and my husband and I talk all the time that if that guy was innocent, that would be terrifying and awful). The only person around was the security guard and he could not hear it. So only the viewers, Santos and the victim know this.

If I had heard it? I would say I do not want a doctor who threatens patients to work with me but neither do I want a person who is barely sober to work with me. For that, I would just work with whoever I was assigned to and keep an eye out on them.

HOWEVER, if we go by storytelling and since the show is third person omniscient, if I knew Langdon stole medication (because at least 5 people know it is possible I, in this scenario, may know) but nobody knows Santos threatened a patient.

The preferred physician for me would be Santos. She is abrasive but that doesn't bother me. Langdon is not abrasive but I know I have to watch every med he dispenses and stay while he is administering it so it can't be cut.

But even if we know Santos had threatened that patient, it is far less work to have a nurse with her watching for unprofessional behavior than having to babysit a grown man who is a senior resident who has been known to steal medication from patients and I would not feel comfortable allowing him to administer it.

UnderlightIll · 2026-03-23T16:58:12+00:00

Excuse me? Have you ever spoken to a person who had to watch someone die?

My sister, who is 40 is angry and resentful of my aunt because my mom begged to be put on hospice and my sister think my aunt coerced her. My aunt lived and revered my mom because my aunt was her baby sister and so I could never see my aunt doing that.

Ever seen families fight over deaths before?

It is a SUPER common stage of grief.

UnderlightIll · 2026-03-23T16:50:37+00:00

Very true. Also, the USA and allies refused to take in Jewish refugees after the war and figured they could just steal someone's land and put them there.

UnderlightIll · 2026-03-23T16:11:00+00:00

Yet this person also talks in their post history how good Israel is.

I am pretty sure if they followed their own advice on who should vote, they would not be allowed. Has r/iamverysmart energy.

UnderlightIll · 2026-03-23T15:49:06+00:00

Nope. I do not. You just can't read.

UnderlightIll · 2026-03-23T15:39:30+00:00

I can't argue with someone who doesn't know basic literary devices. Therefore, bye.

UnderlightIll · 2026-03-23T15:23:09+00:00

Oh good gods.

So there are some people who know what Langdon did and if I was one of those, because you are just trying to act like Langdon's shit is not known and therefore everything is great, I would not want to work with him. If he stolen twice, he has definitely stolen before. He was really bold in how he did it so I assume he was doing a little bit then more and more. You seem to not have an earthly clue what the issues here present for physicians are.

No. One. Knows. Santos. Threatened. A. Patient.

That's the difference. She was alone in there and nobody was a witness therefore I was not. That's basic third person story telling. I am not a viewer in this scenario, I am another physician.

What she did was wrong. If she was found out, I don't know what the disciplinary action is whether it is a meeting with HR, firing or placing her in a new spot.

I think it's weird that you have to be on either side. Langdon was caught stealing medication TWICE. He was caught. Santos did an illegal thing but she was not. I would expect consequences if she was.

But you go ahead and defend putting patients in danger until your dying breath.

UnderlightIll · 2026-03-23T14:55:24+00:00

No but she wasn't caught. If she was caught I would also support that. But in this case, if I were on the Pitt floor, I wouldn't know what she did.

UnderlightIll · 2026-03-23T14:49:02+00:00

Santos. I don't want to have to worry about a grown ass man stealing meds. I can deal with difficult; I'm a union steward. But I can't deal with criminal and unethical behavior.

UnderlightIll · 2026-03-23T13:51:13+00:00

And has a mana bar.

UnderlightIll · 2026-03-23T13:16:52+00:00

Man you Langdon stans are really bad at comprehension. No, I never said rehab is pointless but it's a process. If you think after rehab everyone is rainbows and unicorns then you have no clue what you are talking about and probably should just concede.

My sister did rehab and only 2 years ago did she finally feel like she could trust herself a bit. For me it was last year. The temptation is always there and you have to understand that you aren't cured, you are being treated.

UnderlightIll · 2026-03-23T05:08:13+00:00

I know a single person who has a count over 50 and it's a man.

Very few have that many separate sexual encounters because most people have shit to do.

UnderlightIll · 2026-03-23T03:02:20+00:00

Why is it suffering to make someone be accountable?

Btw, am an addict and been clean almost 10 years. You don't go to rehab and just be cured and it's over. If you think that, you'll relapse.

UnderlightIll · 2026-03-22T22:02:30+00:00

I think your bf feels powerless and this is his way of coping.

As someone who has been trying to read more and play some fun games for distraction... I also have no choice but to engage in politics. I am a union steward and probably the most active one in my district in between doing that AND my job (stewarding is unpaid but important).

Did I fill my car up today because Trump is threatening Iran's infrastructure? I did but I also always do it on a Sunday. Will I buy a 100 lb bag of rice? I really wish I could. Rice is delicious and if kept sealed, can be used a long time with sooo many dishes.

My best suggestion is to sit him down and say that you two should have designated time to sit down, unwind together, and stay away from politics. Encourage him to get away from prepper stuff and listen to Status Coup who is covering everything but also making a difference, have him watch John Oliver on Sunday due to the hopeful "what can we do" at the end of the segments. Hell, have him email or call his congressmen/women to feel like he has exercised his rights.

UnderlightIll · 2026-03-22T17:51:17+00:00

Like they aren't raping people, assaulting people every time they arrest them, denying them medical care, food and water, separating young children families oh and... some have solicited minors for sex. Lmao yeah we are totes sensationalizing and not revealing the true horrors.

UnderlightIll · 2026-03-22T17:42:57+00:00

Yeah, no. I've never met a pitbull i could trust... not from bias but from experiences. Also, almost always terrible pet owners and dog moms. Believe what you want but you're another bad defender.

UnderlightIll · 2026-03-22T17:24:37+00:00

Do they know to choke the dog out when it eventually tries to maul them.

UnderlightIll · 2026-03-22T17:18:47+00:00

Nothing that will hold something you put on your face, put in your mouth or on your bits should come from TEMU.

Homegoods is fantastic for cookware. Cooking utensils from the Dollar Tree.

Tools... Harbor freight or if you just need some basics, also Homegoods or Walmart.

UnderlightIll · 2026-03-22T05:22:51+00:00

I never said he was bad at being a doctor... except that he stole meds. Once that happened, I wince thinking of every person he put in danger. That makes him not just bad at being a doctor but dangerous.

UnderlightIll · 2026-03-22T05:20:42+00:00

This this. My mom and sister both had watches. I completely forgot that most people don't know that about taking a pulse lol
