First, you have the worker who falls off Cuddy's roof. Because he caught some kind of bird flu, for indulging in illegal cockfight. Who has the nerve to sue the hospital that saved his life! Was Cuddy supposed to assume it was more than asthma? That cough maybe, but still it wasn't a symptom of something worse. Then the mother of said worker, who lies about not talking, let alone understanding English. Should have all our sympathy and compassion? How manipulative is she? How dishonest can you be to pretend you don't understand someone, until that someone says something that gets your attention? Was she planning on using this tool for the trial? And that patient calling racism on a treatment, that is more efficient to his ethnic group... In that case, what is the point in prescriptions? And that little paper in each medicine's boxes? Or medicine even? This episode is a sad realization for everything rotten about a lot of things these days. But it is written in a subtle way that isn't preachy or one sided. And I like how they let the suspense build up on who's the new patient, on each episodes opening, lately. So far, season 2 is as good as I remember. Probably one of the best of the whole series for me.
