I really want to like this episode, I watched it many times in order to find my issue with this one. Dr. Kiley, once again, muddies the waters with his concern over Enid, the young counselor at an orphanage. While a child, then children, in Enid's care is the intended patient, Kiley's concern correctly extends to Enid herself once Kiley finds many prescription pills in Enid's medicine cabinet. However, I can never understand why the writers inject Kiley into a confused role of physician and admirer in Enid's case. Kiley has a well-done speech to Enid about the dangers of the multiple drugs in her possession, "They'll eat your brain out," Kiley seems to cross the doctor/patient relationship with Enid. A dinner out at a restaurant and Kiley's personal attention to Enid during her drug withdrawal is confusing to me so I still can't sort out Kiley's true feelings for Enid. While being a peer in age, to Kiley, I think there was an underlying personal interest in Enid which was disappointing: Why didn't the 2 docs see Enid's dangerous role as counselor to children in light of her drug use and NOT take Enid out of her job until Enid stopped the drug use? Maybe in 1970 Welby world, it was o.k. To allow Enid to work impaired, but modern-day rules apply when I view this episode - I feel the 2 doctors had a legal obligation to take Enid out of work. Not understanding why Enid's situation was allowed to play out and result in harm to one of Enid's young charges. Just seems like an episode of Kiley's mixed emotions with Enid which distracted from the plot and Kiley's legal obligation to stop Enid's work until clean and sober. As a nurse, it was just a confusing episode to watch in this 21st century.
