Dr. Javadi has a strenuous relationship with her mother, whose pressure is clearly a lot.
She’s also an overbearing mother with sky-high expectations for her daughter.
She just wants community.
She wants to have peers, but she’s so isolated and lonely.
And also because the drinking age is 21 in America, and she’s 20.
Shabana Azeez: I think she doesn’t quite know who she is yet.
I don’t think she’s ever had enough freedom to explore if that makes sense.
So, I think she’s not hiding anything.
I think she’s too transparent…
I think she’s been too open to be hiding anything.
I think she’s just so stunted.
Shabana Azeez: I think it’s so tangled up together.
Maybe she’s not super stoked about the blood everywhere.
She’s not fainted any other times [even if she had] plenty of reason to.
[There are] tubes down throats, blood everywhere, etc.
I think in that moment, it was really something to yell at somebody in that situation.
I was like, how am I gonna do this?
And the director kept being, like, be louder.
Like, you should probably be loud to stop everybody.

Shabana Azeez: I am not very good at raising my voice.

And then 100 new people came, and they were all half naked, with tubes in them.

And we didn’t know these people.
And we’ve gotten so comfortable.
We have extra cameras, so new crew, like, it was just a completely different place.

And also, it was just covered in blood.
I’m like, not slipping over the blood, it was fake blood.
It was real liquid on the ground.

And there was fake, there’s mats of liquid on the ground.
I don’t even know how they did that stuff.
And so it was just like chaos.

Shabana Azeez: Yeah, they were.
Are we talking about the tube in Episode 12?
It was awesome having those doctors.

Shabana Azeez: What makes Dr Javadi a great doctor?
She’s so smart, but she’s not egotistical.
She might faint, but…
