I really thought, leading up this ep, that they wouldn't go for Huntington's chorea because it's so well-known and is automatically tragic. Something less high profile like essential tremor could also end her career but wouldn't kill her. But no.
The throw-away diagnosis of lupus irked me to no end. It's not so easily treated as "let's give him steroids and boot him out the door." Not unless your medical consultants have lupus confused with a case of poison ivy. Jeeze . . .
