Man who makes everything worse and is publicly hated for it, whines that his new "make everything EVEN MORE worse" machine is not useful enough for social permission he never even asked for from people who would like him to shut up and die.

do u ever see someone elses headcannon for ur fave character and its like….. i completely respect that u have the right to that headcannon, i will not confront u at all and start needless bullshit over that headcannon…. but i will silently sit here and give you the sideways glance of the century
me, out loud: hey that’s cool we all have our own interpretations and i support you as part of fandom regardless
me, in my head: ….but you’re wrong
I would just like to remind everyone that this is the mature, reasonable, and sensible response.
That's kind of why they exist actually
You're a doctor. You've been taught the phrase "first, do no harm."
A patient comes in with a flesh eating bacteria that is rapidly spreading up their leg. The only way to save their life is to remove their leg.
So what do you do? To help the patient is to accept that you must also harm them.
You're a good doctor. Of course you remove the leg and save the patient's life, because trying to exercise a choice that will result in no harm is impossible where there are only two bad outcomes, but one is unquestionably worse.
This post is for for leftists in the US who still think either not voting or going with a protest vote in the next two major election cycles is an acceptable choice, when you know full well the Republican will cause more harm.

Ratchet is Actually Guilty of Malpractice
Now before you jump on me, read this article.
Medical malpractice refers to professional negligence by a health care provider that leads to substandard treatment, resulting in injury to
Yes, we see Ratchet tending to Optimus, Arcee, Bulkhead, Bumblebee, and even Ultra Magnus throughout the show.
But who doesn't he tend to?
Wheeljack, and most poignantly, Smokescreen.
Yes, it's inferred that Ratchet patched up Wheeljack after the thrashing he received from Predaking, but the most obvious case where Ratchet actively did not help a wounded Autobot was in "Hurt".
I don't care how mad he was, I don't care how much anybody will shriek that he endangered Miko. Wheeljack was limping and clutching an arm that was seconds away from falling off, and Ratchet DIDN'T EVEN COME FORWARD TO LOOK HIM OVER.
There is absolutely NOTHING to defend this lack of medical care and flagrant rejection of doctorial protocol, because not once was it ever indicated that Wheeljack was a medic. Furthermore, the damage he sustained was so drastic, he had no hope of performing self-care/first aid on himself. He needed a doctor, and the fact remains that Ratchet withheld dire need of it from Wheeljack simply because he was ticked off with him.
Don't even THINK of coming and telling me that Wheeljack got repaired in the interim between "Hurt" and the S2 finale by Doc-Bot. There's no evidence of that beyond Wheeljack suddenly being A-Okay (which is merely another meteor of a plot hole courtesy of the writers who didn't want to "waste" time on "boring" stuff between action episodes), and a third option of either a separate medic Autobot tending him or the Rescue Bots picking him up and healing him is not possible within the boundaries of this ancient papyrus of a thin continuity.
So on that front, Ratchet is explicitly at a point where he could lose his doctor's license.
Look below for a summary from the above article.
Right there, it spells out my first argument. The next picture? Drives home my point, and also covers what I'll delve into with Smokescreen.
Not once was Smokescreen ever shown to be treated for injuries or possible minor health struggles by Ratchet. This is yet another case of malpractice because Smokescreen was like, the only living being on that prison ship. Which means there were up to HUNDREDS of dead bodies, disease, and even rust that he could've come down with and never be the wiser. Ratchet should've at least scanned him, but he didn't.
As for injuries, the most you can excuse that for is the pure lack of hits the 'Cons got on him because Smokey was that fast.
But there's still the concussion he got from going through the pyramid, and then the whole mess with Knock Out yanking a foreign, ancient, and dirty object clean out of his chest.
None of that was healthy, as the rust/disease/foreign contaminants on the Key could've and likely remained in Smokescreen's own skeleton.
WHICH MEANS HE COULD BE AT A SEVERE HEALTH RISK.
But do we see the consequences of this? Do we see Ratchet fussing over Smokescreen and correcting this?
NO.
This is once more where you'd have to pretend the check up happened after the fact, which given the scene of them catching up afterwards is highly unlikely to have happened. Even if Smokescreen is sitting somewhere as I think I recall seeing, that means nothing because there is no indication whatsoever that Ratchet took care of him after that experience.
In short, as much as any of us may like Ratchet, he is guilty of malpractice, and could (and maybe even should) lose his doctor's license for these failings.
Because who in their right mind would trust this guy post-War? Sure, Team Prime might, but anybody else who's never met the guy is gonna avoid him like the plague for this abhorrent behavior.
And frankly, so would I.
I always found it really weird and frustrating that Ratchet never found the Omega Key inside Smokescreen. From a character standpoint - Ratchet is supposed to be a really, really good doctor. He's Chief Medical Officer of the Autobots.
Smokescreen was with team Prime for so long before Optimus decoded that entry of the Iacon Database.
What, there was no like, on-boarding medical checkup? No tests? No searching for tracking devices on a former prisoner? No quarantine process for potential space illnesses? Nothing? No check up after any of the fights Smokescreen is in in the time between his arrival, and Knockout removing the key? Not a single scan? Just set him loses on the cons?
That foreign body should have been found and removed the second Smokescreen stepped foot into the base the first time.
I can maybe tell myself that Ratchet just needed to yell at Wheeljack first before he fixed him offscreen (not really in character, and definitely a bit of a reach, but maybe.) Maybe.
But the Omega Key?
I don't know if the writers just didn't fully think it through, or if they were trying to make Ratchet look incompetent for some reason but its always been just a little unbelievable for me. Its not like a Chief Medical Officer at ALL. Its not like Ratchet.
There's not even an excuse for Ratchet. He's not any more busy than normal. No one else is in immediate need of medical help. There is ample time - its not explicitly said, but it feels like weeks, at the very least multiple days. He definitely had the time to sit the kid down for 20 minutes.
No other Ratchet, from any continuity would EVER fail that bad. IDW Ratchet would dismantle him for spare parts.
I just watched through Smokescreen's first couple episodes again (S2 ep18-23 specifically) and I've come to decide that Ratchet just hates Smokescreen for some reason.
In S2E21 "Alpha Omega" when Smokescreen gets yeeted into the pyramid by Megatron with the Dark Star Saber, its understandable Arcee thinks he's dead. Nobody knew he had the phase shifter - it must have looked like he was atomized or something. But Ratchet is shown, multiple times by that point to have vitals monitors on the team.
Did Smokescreen not get one? No - we see later when hes Skydiving off the Nemesis that he does in fact have one.
So, Ratchet just decides to not actually check?
Everybody is just like "oh no, Smokescreen is dead! :'(" and Rachet just... lets that happen? He comforts Arcee?
WTF Ratchet? You have the technology. You should know he's not dead.
Worse yet, when they discover he's NOT dead and bring him back to the base - Ratchet STILL does not even give him a basic medical checkup, (despite Smokescreen explaining he took a heavy impact and was unconscious for a prolonged period) because there is no way any kinda scan would miss that giant foreign object in his guts.
But in S2E22 "Hard Knocks" Bumblebee takes a couple decent hits for Knockout and gets immediately put in the whole medical chamber/repair cylinder thing in the medbay without hesitation.
Yet when Smokescreen gets knocked out AGAIN by a brutal sucker punch from behind does Ratchet run a medical scan? Frag no. Doesn't even try to get him in the Medibay, just lets Arcee chase him off. Lets the rookie, who has had TWO untreated major head traumas recently just leave.
They only care that he ran off when they finally, finally after DAYS of him being around, injured constantly with NO medical treatment at ANY point, they FINALLY decode the database entry that shows Smokescreen as the final Omega Key. Then they care.
It has been at least four days since Smokescreen's escape pod crashed to earth. FOUR DAYS.
Meanwhile? Smokescreen takes a THIRD hit to the head and is AGAIN knocked unconscious. The team WITNESSES this. They see him wounded, unconscious, being dragged away by Soundwave. They know.
Yet; when Smokescreen fragging comes back. From the NEMESIS ITSELF, Decepticon HQ, Con central station - via literally leaping of a spaceship in the upper atmosphere, being shot at the whole way down, and literally crashed into by Megatron, then continuing to fall several thousand feet all the way to the ground, only surviving because of his "signature weapon" - after they believe him dead a second time - does Ratchet run a single medical scan?
NO!
Ratchet. Come on man. What gives. Four whole days to find the omega key. Several severe injuries and incidents. Not one single scan. Not one. You would have seen it. You wouldn't have missed it.
What the frag?
You are so losing your license when you get home.
UC or ER?
HONESTLY THOUGH
THIS IS BOTH ACCURATE AND EFFECTIVE
Urgent Care is for your "Oh no!" accidents.
Emergency Care is for your "Oh fuck!" accidents.
yeah okay ill reblog that!
It’s really that simple.
