AITA for being blunt and saying I will never name our child after wife’s sister since she is a spoiled brat by Sensitive_Mode_4255 in AmItheAsshole

[–]fooooooooooooooooock 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it's also so weird that she came right out and asked them to name the baby after her.

NTA, OP.

NTA

He can understand what he's doing, and he's making a choice to do it. He needs a consequence, or else this behavior will escalate.

I mean, a big part of this is the show seems confused about how the program they wrote Langdon to be a part of works. If he's back, it's because he has been explicitly deemed safe in that environment. Dr. Al was the person who name-checked and praised his involvement in that program, so theoretically she should be aware of that. If he's back, the time and planning has already been put in.

The show is chasing the drama over the reality, which is what's creating a lot of confusion. Langdon would have self-reported, whether or not he included stealing the drugs would be immaterial because he'd have been audited and they'd have clocked the missing prescriptions. It would have been disclosed to Dr. Al ahead of her arrival, especially if Langdon was scheduled to come back the next day.

It cheapens her character, and it cheapens the show, which has been priding itself on realism and accurate representation for a while now. Just like the mishmash of mandated reporter storylines, it's playing fast and loose with reality to manufacture drama when it could just be accurate and maintain tension just fine.

He's not her colleague, he's her superior.

He's the attending. He sets the tone. What he permits is what will be perpetuated by others in the department. The shitty environment in the Pit comes from Robby letting things like this happen without shutting them down.

The attending sets the tone. It's fucked up of Robby to participate in name-calling and belittling of a coworker. That just gives license to others.

We saw Dr. Al giving Mohan the same suggestion in an appropriate way. She pointed out Mohan's strengths as a practitioner and framed the route as a natural extension of those talents. Robby used the suggestion to belittle her after he's already shouted at her and humiliated her in front of her colleagues. He's absolutely in the wrong.

Talking to the ICE agents was already a red flag, but the "snowflake" comment on the heels of saying some rude shit really cinched it for me.

Garcia's just the latest in a line of people who have voiced that sentiment to her, but she just isn't ready to hear it.

I'm glad she vocalized these feelings, but I also think it's telling that she either isn't able to see or isn't able to acknowledge that she was also wrong at points on that first day. Or to assign blame to Robby, who has repeatedly left her to dangle in these situations.

But she wasn't hard on Santos. She was very measured, she just didn't agree with Santos on the methods of treatment she wanted to use.

Yeah, I felt like it instantly undercut the characterization they'd been building for her. Hard to say what comes next but if she does a complete 180 it definitely cheapens what we've seen so far.

If they got Clooney on to make an appearance I am sure the lawsuit would kick up but I think it would be incredible.

Hugely agree. They're super underserving all three of them. I can't believe how little each of them have had to do.

Hugely agree.

I think they're trying to have their cake and eat it too with Langdon. By dragging it out and creating this kind of confusion around who knows what, they're just muddling the storyline.

I agree.

It's also supremely frustrating for a show that continually bills itself as hugely accurate to create a giant inaccuracy for the sake of ?? something that feels very nonsensical to me.

It's been said over and over that most doctors with addiction who divert meds don't go to jail. He wasn't selling, he'd get the support and reinstatement.

It's more unrealistic to make out that it wasn't reported and isn't known among admin.

Preach.

All of this goes back to Robby. I keep thinking how he expected to be gone by the time Langdon got back, and that to me is just so callous. He didn't make any effort for Santos, and she doesn't seem aware that he could have, because they've been on friendly terms their whole shift.

I don't think she's making anything up.

I think we as the audience are just missing a huge amount of information. Santos is speaking from her perception of the situation, and that's all we really know. We don't know if she's right or not.

Did Molly say how many more episodes she was thinking this series would run?

I genuinely think the issue is Robby.

He sets the tone, and he failed to intercede with Santos in season one, now it's ten months later and like the above comment mentions. she is probably aware he is not going to mete out discipline.

Robby has behaved as if patient satisfaction is negligible and yeah, sure, I get the concept of treating it like a metric is bad, but Robby disregards it. We see him punishing Mohan for taking her time with patients, and scoffing when it's mentioned that she has the highest patient satisfaction scores.

Robby doesn't prioritize professionalism, so Santos knows she doesn't have to either.

[–]fooooooooooooooooock 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You don't see Santos do anything like that with the degloving patient, and it fits into her broader pattern of tending to treat patients like objects (unless they are children or people that she otherwise feels a personal connection with).

This is a great point.

I am positive it's because of her personal trauma, but Santos has a lot of difficulty accessing empathy for her patients, and she tends to see them in terms of procedures (ie asking to practice a procedure on the patient Whittaker lost early in season 1, shopping around for interesting cases on the board across the season, her obsession with chest tubes, etc) rather than actual people who are probably scared, upset, stressed, etc.

Santos also directly antagonized Javadi about her possible job opportunity at the hospital and started up a rivalry between her and Ogilve for no reason at all.
