I love this show. I'm a big medical show fan, my wife is a nurse, I was a support staffer, this stuff is practically in my blood. We all know some creative liberties are to be expected and are par for the course with all shows, but this show has my respect for trying to be as real within reason as possible. This episode in particular was amazingly poignant showing the ups and downs of medical oversight failures, miscommunication and utter disregard between medical staff at separate facilities. Helen's questioning of her perfect fairy tale and exploring her issues with her upbringing continue to be enjoyable, but my issue is how the aphasia was glossed over. I've known people who suffer this condition for years, some die without a hint of progress, but she's back to 100% in a couple weeks? I'm sure they'll cure the common cold tomorrow..... I am so happy to see the raw road Iggy is running down, and his growth for himself, and while most would find it cringey Bloom's tackling her patients' hangup, it fit not only the character, but how life should be. Hope the writing keeps up the fantastic direction!
