I have nothing but props and kudo’s to the writers, researchers, medical staff on the set for producing this episode. The focus with 1 story was about elderly and medicare/medicaid. The information they were discussing was absolute brilliance. Short and concise scripted basic knowledgeable information. As a caregiver to an elderly parent, I am learning how confusing the medicare system can be. To learn more about medicare practices, rules, and nursing facility regulations you can google to your hearts content. The information can be its own ‘Encyclopedia Medicannica’. This is not the forum to explain, compare, and contrast, the dialog/script VS Medicare. Do your own research, become informed if you think, if you know, you will be the one taking care of a family member in the future.

As for the flit and flutter of nurses hovering around GIGI and her daddy. How cute was that? It’s about time they introduced a love interest for Conrad. And, (giggle) the shock and horror Gigi exclaimed to her dad about how rude Billie was to a kid at the day care center. Then Billie had to explain herself to Conrad. Apparently, Billie has already proven poor parenting skills.

I loved the interplay of narcissistic EGO’s tonight coming to a head with the Surgical Coach and the ‘Best King’s of Surgery at Chastain’. Well Played, Kit!!!
