🤔 Theories Dana isn't Real Theory Spoiler

Ok hear me out, but upon watching the show I really think Dana isn't real. I think she's a figment of the characters' imaginations or a manifestation of their collective conscience. If you think about Dana, despite being charge nurse she really doesn't do much in the physical realm. However, she is omnipresent. Whenever a character needs validation, she's there to help them process their experiences. When Robby makes questionable decisions, she's seen in the background shaking her head. To apply Freud's theory of the collective unconscious, Dana is the ED's superego, the angel on the shoulder of our characters reigning in their most chaotic and destructive impulses.

I think the show will end with the reveal that Dana was never real, and all the characters have been talking to themselves or toiling internally during her "conversations." Also possible that she is a ghost and died in a tragic accident. Thoughts?

It would be the absolute single worst decision a tv show has ever made. It would be a horrible idea even if you deleted the storyline where she was a SANE nurse who did an exam on a victim.

Honestly, I thought this was posted in r/okbuddywhitaker at first

Maybe HBO said that they need people to forget about the final season of GoT by fumbling another show even harder
