The Resident Season 5

Senior Resident Conrad Hawkins has a lot of experience, but every other resident thinks they can handle patients better than their teacher.

p.s. “The Resident” season 5 premiere date has been officially announced: September 21, 2021! Recall that in 2021, 2 seasons were released at once: the show of the season 4 started on January 12 and consisted of 14 episodes. There will be 23 episodes in the season 5.

Plot

The head of the department of surgery, Randolph Bell has long held his post. And this is not surprising – only a small number of people know the statistics of his mistakes, who are either intimidated by him or do not want to make such an influential enemy.

In season 1, while performing surgery to remove appendicitis, Bell accidentally touched an artery with a scalpel, after which the patient died. The terrified nurses decided not to disclose the details of the operation, and Randolph, not without difficulty, decided to forget about what was happening. The tremor worried him more and more, but he did not want to leave the workplace. After each operation, he posted on the Internet laudatory reviews of himself, so that Bell’s customer base never ran out.

Conrad always doubted Bell’s competence and did not miss the moment to make a cruel joke in his direction. Therefore, men often argued among themselves. Conrad had a big passion – girls. He gave a place of honor in his heart for a colleague named Nic. She is smart, kind, has noble goals and has a passion for Hawkins.

While the doctors are trying to improve relations with each other, Devon Pravesh gets an internship with Conrad. He dreamed of being a doctor so much that he graduated from several institutes and knows the theory very well. There are even some practical skills behind him. After talking with the mentor one day, Devon asks Nic to change the senior resident, but the girl suggests Pravesh to look at Hawkins better.

During the shift, Pravesh decides to disobey Conrad’s orders, which leads to irreversible consequences. Later, Devon realizes that everything is so complicated that it is impossible to understand: where are the bad actions, and where are the good ones. And although he still wants to be a doctor, but the sensations from real work are not at all the same. The disappointment turned out to be too great…
