Mad Dog After A Rabbit

The problem is that, while she is a good doctor (even McKay considers her to be uniquely skilled at her own niche, sniffing out weird stuff), she’s actively not handling this environment well at all. She’s being actively triggered by Langdon’s presence among the many other interpersonal and personal issues giving her grief right now. She arguably should have been checked for fighting with Langdon in front of a patient (though I do agree with Al Hashimi putting the question onto Langdon given that he’s her superior). Basically she’s actively not well and for some reason Robby’s view of her as a Good Doctor as he describes her to Al Hashimi seems like it’s leading him to disregard anything that doesn’t fit that image. I normally wouldn’t necessarily expect him to notice Santos going through it if he hadn’t been on pretty much every woman in the ER’s ass for the way their mental health and personal decisions were potentially worming their way into the workplace.

So Robby isn’t giving Santos any grief, Santos hasn’t really been exposed to Robby’s, for lack of a better word, temper tantrums all day. She’s got a very idealized view him as “the authority figure who believed me,” regardless of the fact that he’s responsible for maybe what is so triggering for her about Langdon (the fact that he’s another man who didn’t face consequences). I can’t help but imagine that if she had seen or been on the other end of Robby’s hissy fit at Mohan she would have a lot less faith in him and his ability to look out for his subordinates
