They’re part of the Pitt final that struck me on a personal level that I needed to talk about or analyze on a deeper level. To the scene where Robby and Al Hasmine argue. First and foremost Dr.Robby is 100% right. He is 100% she must wait 6 months before working with a new seizure medicine, she can’t drive and the extra attending she needs isn’t feasible because what if two traumas came in this accommodation isn’t feasible for an ER setting. Life or death and yeah Robby needed to be harsh because their lives are at stake people. During this argument, two lines of dialogue are extremely important. When Robby said “I’m trying to protect you and my patient” this line is important in setting boundaries for Robby. Remember Dr.Al Hasmine came into his ER not the other way around so Robby has every right to be protective. Robby is trying to do right by Hasmine. Robby said “You have until Monday to report or I’ll report it” He is giving autonomy but if you are not willing to self-report then I will. Saying if you don’t report then I will step up. Medical negligence is very scary, and I’m so happy Robby is stepping up to protect his patient. From the patient perspective 3 1/2 years ago I underwent open heart surgery if Al Hasmine was my surgeon and she had cut something wrong I might die. My parents put their trust in her and then this happen, It is a liability issue as well. Before anyone said oh thank god she's not a surgeon. Think again what does the ER do? They do procedures such as tracheotomy, doing airways. They are the first line of defense so it doesn't matter. Imagine if the kid she performed that tracheotomy on and if she had a focal seizure she might kill him thank god she didn’t. People need to realize that she is risking the patient and her career. Let me remind you that the Hippocratic oath states “Do no harm”
