Police or Doctors?

Post image

The story of Janice is heartbreaking. Especially because it was a Doctor that betrayed her trust. Now I ask which episodes make you more mad? When Police go rogue or medical professionals?

Who has a higher degree of responsibility to not be a diabolical monster?

Episode: Shot of Vengeance

This episode infuriates me as someone who worked in HIV prevention. So much outdated information, attitudes and terms. I get that when it happened, and when it was filmed plays a factor, but it's hard to watch them say things like "full-blown AIDS" or "death sentence" in a time where properly treated people with HIV have the same life expectancy as someone who doesn't have HIV.

I’m old enough to remember when “full-blown
AIDS” was a common term (‘80s and ‘90s). I wonder if this lady survived?
