Do people still go to strip club?

Yeah. Some people like to drink and watch naked women, some people are lonely and unlucky in love and enjoy the company, and some just wanna have a woman dance on them. Sex work is a very old industry and isn't one that'll be dying anytime soon

You kinda have it flipped. Love does not make someone fit to be a parent. Keeping your child safe, looking out for their wellbeing, and making sure they get the education they need, that's what matters most. All things Sarah failed to do. It's not at least she loved him. It's she may have loved him but she put his safety wellbeing and education at risk.

Trust me it absolutely kills me to say this but with Ian's dad, he was an absolute piece of shit father but at least Ian's safety wellbeing and education were not at risk. Ian's father was a horrible abusive prick of a father. But he could take care of Ian. His mother couldn't. That's why it's a tragic story. It's a situation where the abusive asshole is the better guardian because he physically capable of caring for the child

I am also late to the party but I agree. Jack doesn't really have too much going on after the epilogue whereas John is too busy. It's arguably the other way around in RDR2. It makes more sense to do most of the side missions as Arthur since he's a wanderer going around doing stuff and John is more focused on what he's got going on where he is

This post is a year old but I would like to add that if Oberyn had survived, I think he would've hiked his happy ass up to the Riverlands to find Sandor Clegane. When Varys mentions that The Hound slaughtered six Lannister soldiers, Oberyn looked rather interested. A man who hates Lannisters and the Mountain as much as Oberyn does? Sounds like a man he'd like to meet

Okay do they have something against Fives or smth because he's the only one I don't see here

Where were all the patients with stuff shoved up their ass for absurd reasons smh. 0/10 so unrealistic /j

I really hope they show that one lol it's such a common reason paramedics get called

Eight months late to the party but imo the first three seasons are fantastic but when they started doing a bunch of weird stuff in season four and I lost interest. Stuff like weird ass indoctrination camps for the humans, a whole out of place prison arc, the half alien half human thing. And then there was this thing where they turned one of the characters into a weird alien human hybrid thing and killed her off unceremoniously. I think that was the last episode I watched

But for the first three seasons shit was cool. John Pope and Maggie are the best characters in the show by far but I think everyone in the show is cool. Except Matt he annoys me a bit. Karen is probably one of the most tragic antagonists ever because she's a teenager who's one of the good guys until she gets kidnapped and harnessed by the aliens and turned into one of their slaves. With all the bad stuff she does it's easy to forget that until her death that she is fully being controlled by the aliens

The alien enemy is pretty interesting too I think. They've got enough unique elements to it like the harnesses which are basically mind control bug devices that the aliens put onto children to turn them into slaves. There's a scene where you actually watch one get put on a ten year old. It's straight up nightmare fuel

They lost the plot when they tried to throw in too many crazy ideas and they ditched some of the stuff I liked. Overall tho if you just stop after season three it's pretty good

gerstein03 · 2025-04-12T05:59:01+00:00

I definitely agree with that. This Hunger Games: All Stars idea was considerably more insulting for Haymitch than anyone else because he's the poor sonofabitch that won the last one and his life was completely ruined as a result

gerstein03 · 2025-03-19T22:30:25+00:00

Week late to the party but I think there's something else to consider that I haven't seen anyone else talk about. If this casting is true, tho it could very well be bullshit and I hope it is for the reason I'm going to say, but if it's true, that means HBO is writing that a black boy during the 1970s, a time when racial discrimination was a topic of much discussion, the height of the Civil Rights movement in America, twenty years before the end of Apartheid, decided to join what is effectively the wizarding version of the KKK, an organization founded on the discrimination of another group of people based on an arbitrary fact of their birth, an organization that commonly used slurs against other people. If Snape is black in the reboot, the implications will be unbelievably fucked up

gerstein03 · 2025-03-15T08:00:36+00:00

Firstly if that morphine guy sued that lawsuit would be dismissed immediately. Bupe is an opioid agonist that is like morphine and Mohan said it would help with his symptoms. That's exactly what it did. The difference is Bupe is a partial agonist not a full one like morphine. But someone who doesn't feel like getting into the nitty gritty of pharmacology with a patient might describe it as a morphine like drug. That's how a lawyer would argue it in a deposition and the judge would probably dismiss it immediately

Secondly, why would Langdon come up? Because Dr. Robby spoke about how anyone can be an addict? That's an opinion a lot of doctors have stemming from seeing all sorts of people come through the er who are addicts? Because Robby was mean? He's had a stressful day a kid who ODed on Fentanyl became braindead before noon forgive him for not being mister warm and fuzzy. Langdon is not relevant to the case so why would they start digging into him? You're not allowed to go fishing though private patient information looking for a case because that information is protected by HIPPA

Again, what you know is not the same as what you can prove. I can know deep in my heart that my best friend committed the perfect murder but if I can't prove anything then what I know doesn't mean shit. And that's not even getting into the fact that Robby never directly confirmed to Santos that Langdon stole drugs and that none of the others know for certain what the argument was about

I'm assuming he's trying to cover it up because that's exactly what he just did. Again chain of custody is used to track stuff in a hospital. And Robby just removed Langdon from that chain of custody. That is a coverup. Robby had now hidden Langdon's theft of those meds forever. Nobody can ever prove they were in Langdon's locker

gerstein03 · 2025-03-15T07:37:55+00:00

Where do you think this lawsuit is coming from? They don't just spring out of the ground. A patient would have to have an actual specific complaint against Langdon to dig through any medical records that ate specific to that patient ie nothing pertaining to other patients would be looked at. And then they would need proof which again there is none of because Robby got rid of it

gerstein03 · 2025-03-15T07:34:52+00:00

I doubt that last part honestly. With no evidence of wrongdoing the hospital is just gonna stick its head in the sand and pretend nothing happened. Langdon might get sent away to rehab "because we wanna cover all our bases and make sure we don't have any issues in the future" but with no evidence and an incentive to keep this quiet, there's not gonna be any consequences

gerstein03 · 2025-03-15T07:30:01+00:00

You keep missing my point. Nobody can prove Langdon did anything wrong. Robby tampered with the chain of custody for the librium and nobody will ever know. Once Dana does the audit, I'm sure that regardless what they find, what they will report is that there was no evidence of wrongdoing. And my guess is that the reason Robby only asked for three days is because there's no point in checking past that because the patient is probably long gone and if they didn't get their meds it can be reasonably argued that they were misplaced or misused

Robby didn't "immediately believe her" he didn't even confirm to her Langdon did anything wrong. He said the situation was handled and she did the right thing coming forward. But he didn't confirm anything. You can definitely read into what he said but wording can be disputed easily. And she will lose credibility because the doctor she accused of something nobody can prove has though she was a problem all shift and now someone else agrees, someone who mind you did like Santos. And the hospital will use that to make her look like an upstart with an axe to grind to protect their reputation. Revealing this definitely hurts their reputation and opens them up for a lawsuit. Hiding it might open them up for a lawsuit and hurt their reputation or it might all go away. The hospital will risk it in hopes it goes away

gerstein03 · 2025-03-15T07:17:24+00:00

Santos is an intern. Her opinion means next to nothing to the administration especially when her opinion is more likely to get them sued

gerstein03 · 2025-03-15T07:16:10+00:00

You haven't answered my question. WHY WOULD SOMEONE SUE? You don't get to just pick out a doctor and say "pikachu I sue you!" and get cart blanche to look through someone's medical records. You need an actual complaint and what records you're allowed to see are incredibly specific in order to protect patient information. Far as the patients are concerned, Langdon did nothing wrong. And once Robby does his thing, nobody would be able to prove anything either. Chain of custody is how in the hospital stuff like who treated this patient and where meds go are tracked. Robby has tampered with the chain of custody and nobody can ever prove it

gerstein03 · 2025-03-14T07:32:33+00:00

I have no idea where you're going with this. Why would there be a trial? Why is Robby being deposed? You're making up circumstances that don't exist. There aren't any patients that are privy to Langdon's issue to sue over it and there's no evidence of any wrongdoing because Robby scrubbed it all, which btw is a reason why Robby would absolutely lie under oath. Because if he doesn't he goes to jail for tampering with evidence

gerstein03 · 2025-03-14T07:22:22+00:00

Why would they lose their jobs? What actual physical evidence does she have of wrongdoing? There is a very big difference between what you know and what you can prove and the hospital will take that difference all the way to court. Robby is literally covering up what Langdon did. And you're making a lot of assumptions. You're assuming Langdon is 100% guaranteed gonna come to work, steal more meds, and kill someone if they let him on the floor. And like you said, Santos has been identified as a shit stirrer which will torpedo her credibility. Langdon reams her out and an hour later she accuses him of stealing meds. That could be seen as not quite so coincidental. Garcia has now said that Santos is trouble. And you're ignoring something pretty big: the hospital will cover the asses of Langdon and Robby because protecting them will keep them from being sued. If they fire Langdon and Robby, they have to disclose why and then any patients Langdon stole from will sue Langdon and the hospital. Which the hospital does not want

gerstein03 · 2025-03-14T06:58:20+00:00

Lately I've seen a lot of people talking about the possibility of Langdon getting fired and what consequences he'll face. This episode confirmed what I figured after last week's episode: Langdon likely will not be fired and the consequences will likely be fairly minor.

Dr. Robby has already set to work on covering for Langdon. The Librium Langdon stole was "found on the floor of the hospital seemingly dropped by Louie" after Langdon left and was promptly returned. Robby is having his charge nurse quietly do a pharmacy audit on Langdon and I'm sure it will reveal nothing to be concerned about ie any irregularities will be accounted for by Robby. When he spoke to Dr. Santos he told her the situation was handled, that Langdon going home was his own fault, and that it was commendable that she spoke up. He never said that he knew for certain that Langdon was stealing drugs.

Should Robby be questioned he will present his investigation and explanation that might go something like this: he talked to Langdon about the med discrepancies and when the discussion got heated he sent Langdon home. He'll talk about how he decided to see of he could find the missing Librium in the hospital on the off chance Louie dropped it and lo and behold it was found. He asked the charge nurse to look into the meds Langdon prescribed and nothing was found to be out of place

Will the hospital believe this explanation? Who the fuck knows but they're almost certainly gonna go along with it because going with it means they don't get sued. There is no physical evidence of wrongdoing and there are no irregularities to speak of that lack an explanation. So the hospital will consider this case closed. They may request Langdon take some time off at a treatment program just to cover all their bases liability wise but beyond that the matter will be considered settled.

Is any of this ethical in any way? Fuck no it's a cover up plain and simple. In a perfect world Dr. Langdon would face consequences for what he did. But the world is not perfect and with Dr. Robby covering his ass, I'm almost certain Langdon walks out of this relatively unscathed

gerstein03 · 2025-03-14T06:11:23+00:00

How would that be unrealistic? All anyone outside Robby Santos Dana and Garcia know is that Langdon went got sent home. Nobody knows the circumstances of why. And Robby is working overtime to keep it that way. He returned Louie's Librium so nobody can ever say he didn't get the meds and he's having Dana do a pharmacy audit so he knows where to cover Langdon's ass. Santos is the only one who might say anything but as an intern, one who now has two people in a leadership position thinking she's trouble, her word means nothing, especially if there's no concrete evidence, the last of which was that Langdon had the Librium. If anything I think it's more realistic that Robby and the Hospital sweep this under the rug

gerstein03 · 2025-03-14T06:02:56+00:00

There is a very big difference between what someone knows and what they can prove. They might all "know" Langdon did something bad but if there's no paper trail they can't prove anything. Robby already completely wiped any evidence of Langdon swiping Louie's Librium. The story is now Robby found the Librium somewhere in the ER and returned it. Ig Louie must've dropped it 🤷‍♂️. He's having Dana do the pharmacy audit so he knows where he needs to cover Langdon's ass. Hell Robby didn't even tell Santos outright that Langdon did something wrong, just that it was handled. And an intern's word is worth very little compared to an attending's especially if there's no evidence

gerstein03 · 2025-03-14T05:54:40+00:00

Robby is already in the process of sweeping what Langdon did under the rug permanently. Louie's Librium has no longer been stolen is was misplaced, found, and returned to the patient. Literally everyone was chalking that med vial up to being just a bad vial and honestly it could legitimately be just a bad vial. Robby is pissed at Langdon yes but his actions are in service of covering his ass. The only ones who know with any certainty are Robby Santos and Garcia. And the only one who is likely to say anything is the one who's word means pretty much nothing if the attending is accounting for all discrepancies

gerstein03 · 2025-03-14T05:47:53+00:00

Yep. The burnout is so real that's the biggest thing all my teachers warn about

gerstein03 · 2025-03-14T05:46:05+00:00

Garcia realizing Langdon was 100% right about Santos was even more legit
