My dad has been in the ICU for 85 days, over these days, I've learned how underappreciated these critical care nurses and doctors are for the amazing work they do.
If not a doctor you certainly could have been an actor with a shelf full of awards at your home. The expression and dialogue delivery are impeccable....
Tony from maintenance is the equivalent of hardcore Vietnam medics that delivered babies and stitched up massive wounds with no formal medical training.
It's great to see the evolution of how much the critical care doc appreciates Johnathon over the series. Can we also recognize that Johnathon exudes such an intense aura that the guy was able to immediately identify him as an ophthalmologist's scribe without ever meeting him? Incredible.
0:36 - my dad worked mental health ICU for years and has honed the ability to sleep wherever and whenever he wants. If he stays still for long enough he'll just sleep. It's honestly amazing.
Being married to a pulmonary and critical care Dr., the bit about gaslighting is so incredibly true. We've even had family members who have stopped speaking to us because they are so invested in the minimizing of the pandemic. And that's without us even really challenging them on it or anything. It's been a really awful aspect of the past two years to have to defend yourself on top of the already awful realities of trying to fight this pandemic.
I loved the " you can be honest with me " part , it reminded me of when i was an intern at the icu and the attendant - looking exhausted as ever- approached me and said : you can be honest with me, are you happy in life ? That made me question my entire existence 😅
And you KNOW 1) Jonathan‘s paperwork for the intubation would make a Medicare quality assurance supervisor cry with Joy!! And 2) he’d have a quintuple latte in the Intensivist’s hand before he even put the blade down from the intubation.
