"I want the whole enchilada"

[peggin]

There's so much I love in this episode, but also quite a bit that makes me want to do horrible things to the people who wrote it. But I long ago decided that the only way I could cope with this storyline is by ignoring... well, ignoring the parts that never happened. This is a happy place and I'm living in a happy little bubble where the bad parts

Glad to see you managed to avoid all the anvils falling from the sky

Anvils? What anvils? There were no anvils!



Can we really consider Chris to be Reid's patient? What has Reid done for Chris, other than give him a few shots and order a prescription for him

Giving him a single shot or ordering a single prescription would be enough to make Reid Chris's doctor for purposes of confidentiality. I mean, if you go to a doctor just once, then decide for whatever reason you don't like him and find a different doctor, the fact that you didn't go back again doesn't mean that doctor has the right to blab to the whole world about your medical history. Once Reid ordered a single prescription for Chris, or gave him a single shot, he was Chris's doctor as far as any medical ethics board would be concerned.

Chris has ignored all the rest of Reid's medical advice.

That doesn't matter. I mean, it would give Reid an excellent reason to stop treating Chris, but even if he does sever the doctor/patient relationship, anything he knows about Chris's health would remain confidential forever, unless Chris decides otherwise.

At this point, I would've been okay if the idiots in charge would've just implied they'd had sex even if they didn't want to show anything more graphic than the two of them disappearing behind a closed door--it was better than what really happened.

I agree soooooo much! Even if the writers were too much of a bunch of pansies to actually show anything on screen, they really should have made it clear that something did happen. Of course, then they couldn't pander to the Nukies with the idea that, even if Luke wasn't with his emotionally abusive ex anymore, at least he'd remained "pure" for the douchebag.

Thanks for clearing the doctor/patient thing for me. :)

And I just love that little Buffy gif! Hee! My thoughts on the matter exactly!
