I'm rather perturbed at a specialist meeting me for the first time — listening to my concerns that I would like to be on less medication for pain management, renew an active lifestyle, etc and need health advice on a course of action to get to that goal— and in the course of 10 minutes they feel adequately informed enough to summarize not only my life, my hardships, my personal character, but tell me that this lifelong "struggle" will only get worse as I age, and then proceed to prescribe me not only with a higher dose of my current medication but adding a low dose of new medication that, among other things, may cause/increase anxiety, mood changes, depression, oh by the way you shouldn't get pregnant, and needs to be tapered on and off under medical supervision.
They know me well enough in ten minutes, without so much as a full physical, to reduce me to the sum of my problems — but fail to deduce that mental health is already one of my causes for concern — and prescribe me more medication that I don't want and am apprehensive about. I felt utterly statistical, invisible, and dismissed. It's one thing to be frank and say, "there's nothing in my scope I can do for you" which I would be upset but not angry about, and quite another to say "based on my extensive XP, here's your answer, your concern about meds is trivial so take more."
Do I bother with the struggle for a second opinion when it was hard enough to get in the door in the first place? Or do I laugh at my own stupidity for even trying to see a specialist to begin with?

aaron forgiving andrew for killing tilda when he has children of his own because he thinks that if she were around he never would’ve let her meet them.
(and if he didn’t want his children near her, or any children near her, that means that he, as a child, should’ve never been near her. and he gets what andrew did bc he would kill to keep these children safe too.)

while i do think Kerry can be emotionally distant and closed off at times, especially when he feels slighted or hurt, i don’t see the new ending as evidence of that. He tries to listen to V and keeps getting interrupted, but he’s also in the middle of a tour (notoriously crazy busy at his fame level) and had also been (albeit accidentally) ghosted by V for two entire fucking years. And yet, he laughs with excitement hearing V is back, asks if he needs any monetary support, says he’ll see him right after the tour in four months. Is he busy? Yes. V would have known this getting into a relationship with Kerry. Musical artists have crazy tour times and then slower times off-tour. V himself was booked and busy himself with his job. Kerry literally seems like the ONLY one of the love interests in that ending where a chance at reigniting the relationship is even possible! I actually really like that ending because it shows him as he is: a vain, successful rockerboy who is a touch vapid and short attention spanned but honestly really caring and giving to those who he holds dear. While, you know— being a grown adult invested in his career with responsibilities and obligations he has beyond what was, though life changing, a few week romantic fling that, again, ghosted him for two entire calendar years.
