Basically, this was the day that his PTSD was no longer under his control.
And he’s been swallowing it and pushing it down.
And then we needed something to really push him over the edge.
Because what case hasn’t been that bad enough to do it in the last four or five years?
It’s so accumulative.
So we knew that, at some point, we had to push him to that edge.
Which, of course, Robby did his best.
But that’s the kind of thing we needed to push him over the edge.
All that was already was in there to be part of the aggregate that gets him there.

So there’s all these little things.
I mean, some are much more; that one’s very subtle.
But they’re things that are much more overt, such as the flashbacks, obviously.

But if you watch as the day progresses, he gets more and more agitated.
How he treats people, he starts to snap a little bit every now and then.
So it’s all in there.
But hopefully there just seemed like someone struggling through a very difficult, challenging day.
And then we wanted to do an ECMO case that was a save.
But his breakdown will no doubt be central to how the final two episodes play out.
Released in 2025, the series highlights the challenges and relentless efforts of medical professionals in a high-pressure environment.
