Elliot's Laser

I don't know if it is just me but I think that the storyline of the laser is being dragged out for far too long. Each stage of getting the laser seems to be have given a whole episode, almost as follows:

Ep 1 - Decide that they need a laser
Ep 2 - Try to convice others that they need the laser
Ep 3 - Go to the board to achieve funding for the laser
Ep 4 - Contact laser company and order laser
Ep 5 - Laser due to arrive but fails to be delivered
Ep 6 - Finally get the laser!!

In my opinion, I feel that they should be concentrating on developing patient and character storylines without making them longwinded and too technical for those who are not fully up to date with all the medical jargon.

On a lighted note, I think everyone had a laugh at the CT surgeons wearing their new protective goggles while using the laser!!
