One theory I read that made sense is that maybe Gene Hackman had a heart attack (and fell over), his wife went for the pills (although of course the type of pill hasn't been released yet) and slipped on the floor, hitting the heater in the bathroom that was noted to be knocked over. (and of course, all of this is pure conjecture)

Did anyone else get the feeling that maybe the wife is at least complicit in the serial killer's stuff? Or just me.

So I just started watching this show and pretty much the entire blood cancer storyline in this episode pissed me off. I have blood cancer (a rare chronic leukemia) and I have quite a few young adult cancer friends. My comments are based on what I have learned from my own experiences + the experiences of my friends, past and present. So with the GCSF the brother was being given (They made up one called Filpogen, I am guessing they decided to smash together Neupogen and Filgrastim - the generic form of Neupogen), there's a simple solution to the bone pain: give the kid Claritin. It's been seen that Claritin can help reduce the pain, it usually has to be Claritin - none of the other meds like Zyrtec, Xyzal, or Allegra. Sure, they can give pain meds - but Claritin is usually tried first to see if it is effective. GCSF pain is pretty damn bad. The times they have given me a test dose, it has felt like my bones were warm glass...and when I have tried to move, it has felt like that glass is being slowly vibrated and chiseled at. They also should've stated the spleen size, since splenomegaly with a GCSF can happen. It can also just happen in a cancer patient. It didn't look like the cancer patient had a port or a PICC - it looked like they were doing the consolidation chemo into a vein in the arm...that's a good way to destroy some veins. The maximum amount of times a person donates to a single patient tends to be twice - usually for Donor Lymphocyte Infusion on the second try. After that, if they are dealing with a recurrence - they tend to look for another match (of course there are sometimes reasons why they can't or won't). I don't know why they were saying "oh no there won't be as good a match" - since it's only something like a 50% chance of a full sibling being an 8/8 match. Since the patient was white (at least based on how he and his parents looked), there would be a pretty good likelihood of finding an 8/8 match in the donor registry.

Yuuup, Nolan should not be forgiving her. He should be reporting it. And Bailey should be thankful that spousal privilege is a thing. Although I wonder if it is superseded by Nolan's status as an officer of the court?

I mean there are many types of NHL - but since it's a curable one, that narrows it down a bit. If he actually has cancer, it's most likely a B-Cell - probably DLBCL (the most common). If it's DLBCL, the treatment is probably R-CHOP or ICE and then a BMT/SCT...so, some strong stuff. Relapsed acute blood cancers need to get hit with a freight train, you aren't going to be back to work after a week of treatment (which will be inpatient for the first week, most likely). That could just be him being like "Do you really not trust this guy with cancer? If you don't believe me, just look!" and thinking she won't check because she'll feel guilty

Yeah I am not offended by the cancer faker, more annoyed by it. There's barely any YA cancer in the media in general, now we're going to have one that's a faker? It'd be nice to see a show have a positive non-inspiration porn portrayal of YA cancer...but then that would lead to this Rookie possible not being able to go back to his job for a while due to chemo brain or just the general recovery time for chemo/radiation/surgery (or whatever his treatment requires). My cancer only requires pills (woo, cycle 46!...or 47? I forget which) and it is still pretty damn annoying.

I mean HR would process the paperwork - the trainee wouldn't qualify for FMLA, but I bet the union has some strong protections for sick employees, even rookies. FMLA paperwork asks the nature of the illness that the effected person has and how long it is expected to last. It's also required to be filled out by the treating medical professional. Also, uh, the test results would be abnormal, not irregular. Okay, that's the last cancer nitpicking I am doing in this post 😆

I believe he was swearing "I didn't throw out her phone grr argh i'm so stupid" I wasn't paying too close attention, but yeah. Nolan was tracking her phone until it was tossed. I guess Super Duper Hitman Man was tracking her phone, too. Maybe she dropped a pin for him? 😆

Yeah, Nolan should've recognized that she was casing the place. It shouldn't have taken to this episode for him to realize that. And, yes, please get rid of Bailey. Yeah, I sure hope DefinitelyFakeCancer Rookie submitted a letter from his doctor. Unless Grey is taking him at his word. But since he's an AYA, he would be under close surveillance, since iirc he said that he is less than five years out from NED? So he would be getting regular checkups. Treatment all depends on the cancer he claims he has. Since he's a liar liar pants on fire, he will probably claim some kind of solid tumor cancer that requires IV chemotherapy and surgery and radiation to get all of the sympathy possible. If he ends up actually having cancer, it's probably going to be something like stage 0 melanoma that was removed via Mohs and is just closely monitored. Not to diminish melanoma, of course - it's just that it would be less treatment than if he claimed some super aggressive thing.

Okay, so I just finished this episode and I found it a bit mixed. First off, Mandy Patinkin looks nothing like the younger actor playing the dad. That is just confusing casting. Second, what the hell was with the "yeah he's dead" plan? Did Dr. Mom hold a funeral for the dad? Did she claim life insurance? Is he legally dead? Third, I was so expecting the dad to say at the end that he had a new family after he got stable and one of his kids needs help and only Wolf can help. Fourth, Wolf needs a better motorcycle helmet. I was worried the entire time he was driving with that thing that doesn't cover his face. Also, he needed to not stand up Dr. Neurosurgeon. Fifth (and finally), with the interns...they are a mixed bag. They got better as the season went on, but I would personally rank them like this: One whose apartment building collapsed Anxious intern Mirror touch Former football player I hope this show gets renewed, but if it doesn't - it had an okay ending outside of the couple threads left dangling.

So I just watched this episode and... yeahhh... that was definitely something. They couldn't even hire some extras to walk around the hospital moaning to make it feel like it was urgent? It felt less busy than a regular episode - they should've cut the lonely patient so we could learn about a patient instead of just "oh hey this woman is trapped under rubble and I need to cut into her skull so maybe she'll say yes to a double amputation" and then the next time we see her she's getting wheeled into an ambulance Very uneven episode of a show I want to like - it's a pretty good medical show for a network. Definitely better than New Amsterdam or The Good Doctor, it's not making me angry.

For half a second I was like, "Oh hey, young adult cancer representation!" then "oh god, it's just "Cancer" - the nebulous evil Cancer, not putting a name to it, just letting people conjure their mental image of it. If the cancer was aggressive, he probably got chemo - he sure has no chemo brain or long term side effects, unlike most people. This should be a pile of fun."

The show has only used air pistols since the Rust shooting - so no blanks anymore. Yuuup, everyone in my house was yelling "CONFLICT OF INTEREST! CONFLICT OF INTEREST!"

She probably would've had moonface after months on prednisone - since it sounds like she started taking it 4-5 months prior? I think the timeline was the gunshot was 6 months prior and she went back to work after a month of rehab. I'm guessing it was a high dose, too - she probably would've done 50-60 mg. That takes around 30 days to wean off of (one time I was on a taper plan of 24 days - but my doctors closely monitored me on that "quick" taper) I get if her not wanting to prescribe herself an opioid with her stolen pad... but why not a strong NSAID? That would've been a much smarter and safer choice than a steroid - also, they probably would've seen neutropenia on the CBC (which probably would've led them to test for bone marrow disorders due to the WBC being 2.5x normal, but yeah). I do hope this gets renewed, it's a nice watch.

TVRatingsGuide has it at certain to be cancelled So we'll see which is right.
