Viewers are eager to find out why Conrad was fired and whether he got his job back in The Summer I Turned Pretty. The new season unveiled that Conrad is in his first year of pre-med at Stanford University. He secured a job at Stanford Medical Center. While he continues to deal with his mental health struggles and feelings for Belly, he made a huge mistake that cost him his job.
Why Conrad was fired in The Summer I Turned Pretty?
Conrad mislabeled a blood sample of a patient, which led to his firing. He got distracted as he was constantly waiting for updates from Belly about her brother, Steven, who got into an accident.
When Steven got injured in an accident, Belly rushed him to the hospital. She took help from Taylor, who further reached out to Conrad in regards to Steven’s treatment. Conrad spoke to his boss, Dr. Namazy, to arrange proper medical care to ensure Steven’s recovery. Dr. Namazy assured him that the hospital’s head of neurology knows a friend of hers who could be fit to handle the case.
As Dr. Namazy knew Conrad was worried about Steven’s case, he told him to take a day off. But, Conrad refused, as he didn’t want to take a leave on the first day of his job and create a bad impression. While he chose to stay at his job, his mind was consistently filled with worries about Steven and Belly. During one of his tasks, he mislabeled a blood draw. Dr. Namazy found out and fired him, as his one mistake could have endangered a patient’s life, which is something completely unacceptable.
Does Conrad get his job back in The Summer I Turned Pretty?
The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 has yet to confirm whether Conrad will get his job back or not. Even if he doesn’t, there’s still a possibility that he could reapply to the job in the future.
At the moment, what’s important for Conrad is to focus on his mental health and work through any lingering issues. He can earn back the job in the next semester.
