do you ever think about how john's med school rotations and residency happened during covid when racism against asian people, specifically chinese people, intensified and just fucking cry? do you think about how the people he wanted to save started treating him differently, hatefully, and how he decided to push through anyway? do you think about how, maybe, that's why he ended up choosing the nightshift? (my mom used to work nightshifts during covid and told me that it was because patients were less particular with their doctors at that time; how, compounded by pain and just the natural exhaustion, there were less push backs on who was treating who, and because of that she felt a whole lot safer.)
