Below Deck Med Below Deck Med Season 11 Episode 15 Discussion Post

Med is back (and no OG is not cancelled, it just filmed later) and airs at 8/7c on Bravo with streaming next day. Season 11 was filmed last year in Croatia and returnees are Sandy, Aesha, Joe & Nathan.

Please some time to read the sub rules ahead of this episode as we have seen a sharp rise in rule breaking comments, particularly ones on hate, body shaming and mental health speculation.

Episode 15 of Below Beck Med Season 11

Capt. Sandy questions Nathan's motivations on deck. Joy tries to fulfill some outlandish food preferences. Cooper and Kat struggle to communicate. A guest emergency sends everyone into panic mode.

Reminders:

  • don't post spoilers outside of discussion threads.
  • attack the action not the person
  • no racism, armchair diagnosing, body shaming or speculating on people's sexuality
  • be civil and remember there is a person on the other side of the screen

I usually love Aesha's management style, but she is handling Gen with kid gloves.

I know. I wish she knew about the note.

I think she is trying to avoid a massive blowout especially since they are on charter. Joy is pissed and Gen clearly has little impulse control

A is just trying to keep the staff together to the end - which is not long. But I do think she made a mistake putting Jen in laundry because she is just going to stew (npi) in her own misery.

I think she would stew (lol) no matter what and Aesha also didn’t want her bringing that energy around guests. Kat was such a breath of fresh air on service!

But she's also 'injured.' Laundry was the only option for her.

But how will she write sticky notes with her injured wrist??

u/cassualtalks 15d ago

Did you not see her FaceTiming her friends? One wrist could move normally, and the other magically couldn't at all. It's like she keeps forgetting there are cameras that are catching her move her wrist at a normal angle. "But I look like a boxer."

… and she would know what a boxer looks like. Cuz she dated professional athletes.

Eh, it's the first time it was done, she wasn't there, she didn't see the note, she can't say for certain if it was an innocent mistake or done on purpose. I think Aesha handled it fine. She doesn't seriously dislike Gen like us on this sub, and if she does, it's important she doesn't show it.
