The Medium Recap – Season 6, Episode 3 – Pain Killer – air date 10/09/09. In this episode Allison suspects that a friend who dies suddenly from cancer was actually the victim of hospital staff (the head of oncology, actually). The second storyline in this episode features a story that daughter Bridgette has written – and how closely it parallels her father’s job interview.

Allison has some very intense conversations – with both the hospital administrator, and the physician that she feels killed her friend. Both sides of the “mercy killing” scenario are explored, and we see how arrogance can have devastating results. The hospital administrator is being used as a pawn, by a physician who knows the system well.

All is not as it seems – as we see when it turns out that Joe lost a job that he had been offered because he had been lied about. The man who got the job – he was a pawn also. And the job – not as good as it sounded. BTW – Joe got a haircut! I have been waiting for that to happen!
