I really like this episode however I think the writer of this episode once again, makes it seem as if Dr. Kiley has only one patient. Tracy Robbins tries hard to deal with impending blindness at such a young age, 16, then 17 at the end of the episode. Why wouldn't Dr. Kiley think that Tracy would get mixed signals from him? Tracy develops a crush on Dr. Kiley for good reason: Kiley visits Tracy at home, shares the same taste in music, takes Tracy to a concert and an outdoor taco stand AND accompanies Tracy when seeing a specialist. Welby calls her out for her crush on Kiley, but hey, Tracy is a teenager after all. Couldn't Dr. Kiley have kept a little more at arms length with this teenage patient? As someone who was once a teenage girl myself, I can't fault Tracy for her misinterpretation with Dr. Kiley. At the point of a known "crush" by Tracy, it would have been more appropriate for Dr. Walby to assume care of Tracy, at least in this litigious world today, but this episode was set in 1973.
