There need to be more televised talks about advanced directives and how it's not "giving up on dad" if you allow for a natural death instead of a suspended, painful life. I feel like they're blowing through hot medical topics so quickly - sickle cell pain and racism/accusations of drug seeking, accidental fentanyl overdose, health care worker moral injury, COVID PTSD. So far I'm enjoying it, the medicine seems mostly OK, maybe a little too winking about not shocking asystole.

Medically pretty darn accurate, heartbreaking PTSD flashback.

Idk, they've still got the personality stories and the massive flash of Chekhov's gun.

Feel like the function of the admin character is important but not appropriately fleshed out and the lines they're having her deliver are unnatural.
