“There are lots of conflicts coming up – between Sharon and Phyllis, and also between Nick and Jack, and even Sharon and Jack.”
The Sharon and Jack conflict could have something to do with Jack’s need for vengeance. Nick and Phyllis just wrote an unflattering article, into which Phyllis injected some juicy tidbits about Sharon (unbeknownst to Nick). When Jack and Sharon find out, the claws will come out.
“Obviously, Sharon and Jack don’t like the article. Jack retaliates by doing another interview. Sharon doesn’t want to keep going back and forth, using the magazine for personal vendettas. She just wants it to stop.”
Patient not the only one confused on the NIGHT SHIFT
On the August 12th episode of GH: NIGHT SHIFT, a young woman, Danielle, came to the ER speaking French. She appeared to recognize Dr. Patrick Drake (Jason Thompson) as her former boyfriend "Jean" who jilted her. In the examination room, Danielle suddenly spoke English and admitted she's from Maryland, but she still thought she was at a bank in France rather than at an American hospital. She later lost her hearing, became frantic and blacked out. The doctors reviewed Danielle's MRI and decide she has Susac's syndrome, a rare brain disorder that causes confusion, and which the NIGHT SHIFT doctors said makes you think you are living in the past. Drake started her on intravenous steroid treatments and she rapidly improved.
Susac’s syndrome is a real condition, first described by neurologist John O. Susac in 1979. "It is characterized by encephalopathy [brain swelling] with bizarre behavior, memory loss and lesions to the white matter of the brain," says Dr. Gary Abrams, associate professor of neurology at UC San Francisco and rehabilitation section chief at the San Francisco VA Medical Center. Susac's syndrome also involves damage to the tiny retinal arteries in the eyes as well as the inner ear, and can include sudden hearing loss as well as confusion, though generally not blackouts.
Abrams says that Susac's syndrome "would be a reasonable explanation that is at least in the ballpark" for Danielle's condition, but Dr. Orrin Devinsky, professor of neurology at the New York University School of Medicine and director of the university's epilepsy center, disagrees. "The show combines elements of several psychiatric and neurological disorders that almost never appear together," he says. "The idea of living in the past is pure TV drama."
