This has been on my mind for a bit. This is going to a long one, so buckle up.
Langdon. Langdon in season 1, was an addict, we know this as I’m going to assume most people watching this have at least watched season 1 of the Pitt, now Robbys handling of the situation was terrible, he showed little to no sympathy for him.
“Oh but Ren! Langdon was stealing from the hospital! Robby had every right to be mad!” Absolutely, I agree, Robby had a right to be mad, but showing no sympathy or showing no support for Langdon? That’s straight up shitty, it was clearly shown how close Robby and Langdon are, as Langdon is Robby’s best doctor and close friend, Robby as his friend should’ve shown proper support for Langdon, Langdon didn’t become an addict out of the blue, he even said himself that the pain meds prescribed to him for his chronic pain got him addicted, which is not his fault, in fact that is how addiction starts, sure Langdon should’ve reached out for help, should’ve come to Robby, but saying
“I have an addiction” isn’t easy, you get scared, nervous, embarrassed, etc, which is why Langdon took benzos to “overcome” it, he thought he could do it alone, and with the way Robby reacted to it, I don’t blame Langdon for not telling Robby, because of Robby’s reaction, instead of support, instead of
“Let’s get you help” in a more comforting manner, he just blows up on him, I’m not saying Langdon is 100% right and is a saint, I’m saying, if someone has an addiction, like Langdon, they have the right for proper support/comfort, not to be berated, or excluded out of their own job? Especially with someone as skilled as Langdon, and once again I am not saying Langdon is a saint, but I will absolutely defend him, because in season 2 he was genuinely trying his best, any way he could, he even apologized, explained to Louie that he was the one who took his meds and apologized for that, Langdon isn’t a bad person, he’s just an addict who’s trying to recover, he’s not a villain, he’s saved countless of lives, the only one who showed support and comfort to Mel, a doctor who admitted he took a patients meds to that patient and apologized, apologized to Dana, and Robby.
