Gah! This show! I’m binging on this season, I am months behind. These storylines and medical scenarios are ridiculous. 
 

I have SVT (supraventricular tachycardia).   I am not an astronaut so there’s no rush for me to get any surgical procedures and it’s more of a nuisance right now. I take a daily med. My heart rate shoots up to nearly 200 randomly, the cardiologist taught me techniques I can do to stop it, and I don’t lose consciousness (yet) and have a little space trip. There have been times where I haven’t been able to stop it and I go to the ER. A stress test is walking in a treadmill, not being pumped with meds. And if I was to have an ablation, the doctors told me I would definitely be under general anesthesia, there can be no movement whatsoever. What if she sneezed? 
 

Between this scenario and An unqualified Iggy treating a child psychopath, I have to take a break in my binging. A good doctor knows when he/she is over their head or when a patient needs to see a specialist. Iggy should have had enough insight to let a specialist treat the girl, in a locked facility. He thinks teaching her how to pretend to interact with people on a rewards basis? That’s not going to work, puts countless people at risk, just wait until she doesn’t get her way one day, she will kill someone. Ugh! 

Yeah, the stress test was just ridiculous. Like there are nuclear stress tests where you get injected with stuff... but that is to monitor the heart function, not to drive your heart insane.
