some of you need to realize that your faves would be having unsafe bdsm sex because they don’t actually know what bdsm sex is, they just want to fuck and also kill each other. you must understand this.

you don’t have to write safe practices and contract agreements. your audience knows not to apply any of this in their real lives, sasuke doesn’t know what a safe word is im begging you please write the toxic yaoi

still pissed that ogilvie said he thinks the ED is too hard and that he should go into peds or family med. and instead of using that as a moment to teach this med student that those specialties are not less difficult or less heartbreaking, whitaker says “yeah you can do that, but i’d be soooo bored and i actually like being important here” like ?????? i get that this is the ‘we love the ed’ show but these two specialties are both in the list of highest burnout and stress rates so idk why the fuck that was necessary. the ed jumps out at the top, but these follow closely afterwards. especially given the fact that those two specialties are female dominated; it just felt a little weird to have these two men talk about how the ed is better and more worth it and how tough they are for choosing it. it is that deep to me

I think that’s the point? White men downplaying the areas that are dominated by women and have a very high burn out rate. It’s blunt, it’s offensive and it’s rude doesn’t make it wrong (in the how they’re thought about by white men going into medicine, not in gen obvs). The point of the show is to show a mirror of what reality is. Men, white men in particular looking at it that way is a way of pointing out the issue.

if it was the point for it to be rude and coming from a place of privilege, the show sure as hell didn’t state that. they are very good at showing the realism of a lot of facets that humanity has. they tackle racism in some situations, misogyny. but when it comes to marginalisation within education, specialties, and hierarchy structures, they don’t outright confront it in the way they have shown to be able to represent other social issues. they are not saying “hey what these two are doing is wrong, they shouldn’t put down peds and family med”.

similarly, they drop the ball on a lot of the robby and samira/al hashimi treatment and how privilege and marginalisation plays a role in that. they don’t say “this is wrong” in fact, in interviews the showrunners all agree that things like misogyny aren’t happening between samira and robby. and i doubt they even realised that this scene put down peds and family med, given the fact that they have misrepresented several other specialties.

and so no, i don’t believe it was supposed to be read as a scene where two men are wrong or where it is supposed to be upsetting to see. the scene is framed as a pep talk, something healing and motivating. there is nothing that makes the average viewer go “wow whitaker is so wrong here”, because the scene isn’t played that way. look, you might disagree. but you can check the comments under this post to see how well the scene went over for people who work in peds/family med.
