parker ellis’ gf

We are shown both Mel and McKay getting flirted with by patients and none of these occasions are shown negatively. Mel later calls the thief that shoved her off a stool a “nice distraction” from her deposition. Mckay seems mildly entertained by the flirty old guy and genuinely wants the injured athlete. Trinity mentions patients have flirted with her with no further comment. There are no complex feelings shown about this being a common occurrence for these women. And those are the doctors. Duke’s thing for Vivi is what the nurses get, and it seems the audience is supposed to find it endearing.

Except, there actually was a depiction of sexual harassment explicitly shown as being unwanted in the show. Of course, it was Robby getting verbally harassed by an old woman literally handcuffed to a wheelchair.

They set her up for a really hard-hitting climax as all the things she's been dealing with come to a head—the patients she's struggled to help, her mother's harassment, her fellowship application, Robby's cruel and misogynistic lashing out—and then it just... stops?

Where was the end of her arc? Where was the rest of her story this season? Where was the end of the character's development for the final time that we will see her on this show?

The show thinks Robby is the most important part of this, but he's not. What about the people you have been hurting, Michael? I don't have sympathy for that. I don't like him anymore. I don't want to watch a season of his sad feelings when the coworkers he's victimizing don't even get the dignity of an actual send-off.

Samira, I'm sorry. You deserved better. Supriya Ganesh deserved a helluva lot better.
