Jill is right on with her portrayal of opiate withdrawal. Being a recovering opiate addict myself, she’s got it right on the nose. Not overly dramatic, very true portrayal.
Both of these people are to be pitied. I think Seneca is honestly trying to help Jillian with her addiction -- but just because he is a surgeon doesn't mean he is a qualified substance abuse counselor. He's trying to do the best thing he can for her, but he's not equipped. They are a tragic couple in my opinion.
@@kormsby12 I agree, Karla. Seneca, is doing everything he is qualified to do. This was filmed in '79, which I believe is well before the creation of the "Betty Ford Center". Seneca, loves and cares about Jillian. In this situation, Jillian needs a hard arse to see her through detox.
@@feistyjerseygirlright, but my point was that he wasn't qualified to be one, even if they had them back then. But he was giving it his best to help her. He definitely had some major character flaws but I think deep down, he was a caring person. :)
If this were today im convinced she would have been weened to much chance of convulsions or seisures erratic blood pressure panic attacks agression i cant believe it was like this back then but i have to because this show is usually spot on medically
Exactly right !! I think they would of done some weening or at least supporting her with anti convulsion medication, anti nausea meds , She should be ona Iv to keep hydrated. This whole situation at home cold turkey is nuts !!! And her sister and brother, both Drs don’t get it . Totally unrealistic . I lived through the 1970s... had 2 children... saw plenty of medical situations... this is not realistic ... in my opinion.
@@Lana-n2c I’ve been an RN for 45 years. Opiate withdrawal is Hell but it doesn’t cause seizures or death, withdrawal from alcohol and benzodiazepines do.
@@debrataylor2215 well ill trust u being an rn...but the anxietey that could through cause and effect bring on xtreme high blood pressure....i believe u might be right in theorey but in reality i belive doctors would have weaned....speaking as a councelor in addiction i have pressed for this...and when docs put down the text book and listened ..90% agreed...and weaned...no one in this day and age with our knowledge should go through that...its barbaric...text book..yes fine...well i believe that with all we have learned text book answers arent always ideal. ...and altho i respect your years as a rn...ill be honest ..i have over rode many nurses from a diffrent generation with your thinking...
I love Polly's question "Does Frank know?" LOL!
O.M.G. 😲 Polly, is hysterically funny.. Rae & Polly, remind me of Cinderella's Ugly Step-Sisters! LMAO! 😺😹😺
Love Polly. She's a very true friend.

Good for you, best Wishes always.
Yes, absolutely.
Jill is outstanding in this scene
Great to hear Delia went to the movies alone
What a Great actress loved this scene!!!!
Seneca you can't tell Jill how to feel!!!!
Rae is truly happy! Feeling generous, too, that she and Jill might have been friend.
I wish they would eventually become friends.
This scene had to take a lot out of Jill!!!
Jill everyone warned you about Seneca.

@@kormsby12 back in those days there was no such thing as a substance abuse counselor.

Yes to weaning, no to seizures/death from opiate withdrawal. That happens with alcohol or benzos.
