Every young doctor can expect to be overwhelmed when they’re just starting out.

The life-and-death stakes and thehigh-pressure environment of an emergency roomwould be enough to make anyone crack.

However,there’s one doctor who seems like she might actually be in over her head.

She’s super confident, which sometimes can feel off-putting to her colleagues and to her patients.

This has been incredibly hard for Santos to abide by during every hour of her shift.

But the problem is not just that Santos seems determined to ignore Langdon’s guidance.

After the two started butting heads early on,Santos convinced herself that Langdon is actually swiping meds.

This is a gravely serious assumption that could have severe blowback.

He’s caring and attentive andtries really hard to be a good mentorto the other doctors.

Santos has simply rushed to judgment, in a way that feels pretty on-brand for her character.
