I think they make a helmet for that.
If I were on a motorcycle, I might wear it lol
I think it's because it's exactly that --- Dr Robby is playing fast and loose with his own life because he has PTSD. He carries a lot of guilt over the death of his mentor, and then add the massacre at PittFest and THEN not being able to save his "stepson's" girlfriend.
Robbie carries a TON of guilt and grief so he takes risks with his own life because he doesn't care about himself anymore.
Ok, but if realism is the thing this show is rightfully most noted for, that jumps the shark a bit with me. I've known a bunch, & you'll see a lot of them eat their emotions, into weight problems. There's f***ing pizza & birthday cakes constantly, all over this b***h.
Or they smoke/drink/drug themselves up. (Glad the charge nurse is trying to quit BTW. She's my favorite) A lot of them go health nut & gym addicted maniacs. I personally know a couple guys with pectoral tears.
None of them, in my experience, under any circumstance or condition, would ever voluntarily try to get their own head caved half in, & turn themselves into half living recipients of the very care they administer. No doctor wants to be the patient, in that way... mostly because of the burden it could represent to
others in their field, to see them come thru there like that, & they
know that's what it ultimately leads to.
He may be in a headspace where he wants to die, or risk his life recklessly, but he wouldn't ever want to make himself an emergency problem for someone in his vocation to have to deal with.
Crashing a motorcycle isn't always suicide. Most often, it's debilitation on the highest order, & that's a problem for his peers to get saddled with. This is just my take, that I'm running with though. I really hope this isn't the way they're headed with this. It's not a good representation IMHO.
Weirdly, we probably won't know until the shift is over, at season's end, when he leaves on it, hoping we will have forgotten by then, after God only knows what July 4th crazy we're in for.
