SERIES

Dancing With The Stars is a 2 hour episode. Dancers had to dance two dance sequences. For professional dancers that could be relaxing and sort of just natural but for the non-dancers that's value added pressure. Hanna Brown's dance expertise was seen in the premiere episode of DWTS with dancepartner Allan who is also her dance instructor. She should had garnered 10 points each from the judges but during the very first beginning episode of such show nobody gives that points until each teams had danced so many dance sequences, style and categories. You have to prove the judges that you can also dance salsa, tango, tango foxtrot, chacha, pasa doble, etc. Then you have Len Goodman who has keen eyes on your legs, dance steps, and how the rhythm of the song, how the beat of the music should impact the dance as in timing with your dance steps. One of the female dancers had that right timing with the music and her steps coordinate with the rhythm of the song. That's what they are looking for in each team.

Anyway, changing channels because PRODIGAL SON was in another channel. The "Jesus of The walking Dead, Tom Payne is now a lead actor in this latest, new series "Prodigal Son." Tom plays the son Malcom, to a father who had a grave secret being unravelled while his father was in maximum security mental hospital. Malcom is a profiler and works for a police department investigative unit. The episode last night was one of those horrendous/horrible situation when the film crew were gathering information and recording every seconds of the interview and then another mental patient (who happened to be an avid fan) escaped and killed the guard and wants to seek attention from the female reporter. The camera man added him in the film recording while he was there outside behind the door with glass window. It was sort of a flash, without warning the mental patient had the cardkey to open the locked door and gave the camera man a whip of a machete. ? Where he got the big knife? In mental hospital? So weird!

What happened at the GOOD DOCTOR? I think those surgeons should wear eyeglasses. No amount of light will make them see the veins and other internal organs once the blood flows inside the "site" of the operating body. In actual hospital operation, surgeons mark the surface of the abdomen where surgeon's scalpel should start the cut. But before that a scrub of  orange dye is visible (don't know what it is, maybe the color of  (liquid) lotion anaesthesia). I don't know why Dr. Murphy has to apologize to the nurse when nurses should be knowledgeable when it comes to the "operation procedure." Nurses had their residency in hospitals just like doctors. Dr. Murphy should have said that forceps should be given to doctor in 45 angle or open not close because he was wearing surgical gloves and to open the pair of forceps could take time (sometimes forceps are snapped tightly like to open it sort of like fighting or God knows what will happen to the surgeon's hand or that pair of  forcep might land down inside the open stomach). Murphy told the nurse to get out of the operating room. OMG! It's because the nurse was yelling to him "damn it, accept it." All what nurses at the operating room is to hand over medical instruments. That's it. That's their duty and responsibility. If that nurse is an AH she should have been fired. Dr. Marcus (Hill Harper) didn't reprimand Murphy because he is a surgeon and nurses should follow what is being asked of her. However, the head surgeon whoever she is (Dr. Audrey Lim) felt that Dr. Murphy should apologize to the hardheaded nurse who doesn't accept apology because she thinks she is smarter than the doctor. She doesn't want to hear an explanation and the story of forceps from 18th century history. lol.  FGS! Fire the nurse. She should have known that forceps technique long time ago in 4 years of Nursing schooling whatever. Question: Have you seen a real forceps? How you snap open forceps? They are not created like pair of scissors. Dr. Murphy follows a procedure by the book and doctors and surgeon should follow the same thing because that's how it used to be to minimize time, energy and usefulness, flexibility in the OR. So I think the nurse should have been fired.

At least, Dr. Murphy was successful in his first operation without the nurse. You have to remember the most important persons in the OR is the patient first, then the surgeon.

In another operating room, Dr. Melendez and his team struggled to save the pregnant woman who was in a very serious condition and whether to continue the operation will be a 50-50 chance of survival. However, the pregnant woman's decision to save the baby (23 weeks old) jeopardized her life. She died. The premature baby was now confined inside the incubator.

Dr. Glassman still is the president of the hospital and newlywed to the hospital canteen clerk. However, due to her kindness giving free coffee to customers, she was fired. She asked help from her husband to employ her at his clinic as her secretary. The doctor was reluctant to accept her however due to her cunning manipulation the husband/doctor might accept her or may be not. ? remember she owned a licensed gun in her drawer.
