December 3 – Overreacting

Robin is definitely overreacting to the fact that Laura had a relapse. We knew this could happen from the start. So did Luke. Lucky even told Robin that none of this is her fault and that he and his siblings were glad for the time they had with Laura. But Robin is allowing this loss to affect the way she treats every patient. The Robin I know and love would never give up on a patient. She would fight tooth and nail to give any patient more time with their family, but now it’s like she’s lost her faith in herself and medicine. She couldn’t save Laura, so now she’s giving up on everyone.

On Thursday, Robin scared the parents of a kid with the “truth.” The kid has a tumor the size of a grapefruit and Robin basically told his parents that no matter what, their kid wasn’t going to make it. That’s not Robin. I know she’s having a hard time and I’m going to be there for her, but I can’t let her scare the patients into not getting the treatment they need. While medicine is a science, it’s not exact. Anything can happen. Getting Laura back in the first place was a miracle. I’ve got to find a way to show Robin that.
