I finally had time to catch the season finale. What a great, well made show. Excellent.
Shout out to the one nurse who apparently has a cooler of beer ready to go every shift, in case it's a bad one.

Finished this recently, really enjoyed it. The 1 episode per hour of shift was really interesting, kept the pace up and I kept wanting to watch another to see where things were going. That said, I did feel like a lot of the dialogue and interactions were how the writers think people should treat each other. Especially when Noah was comforting the doc who had the miscarriage. Not once did he hug or put his arm around her. Maybe people in Pittsburgh have a larger personal space, but I felt like it was a case of him overly respecting her autonomy and not having consent to physically comfort her or something.
Such a damn good show. I have no interest in medical shows normally too.

George Clooney is sending Noah Wyle his praises for his work on The Pitt.
The former ER co-stars have remained friends since working on the NBC medical drama, and while appearing on Late Night with Seth Meyers, Clooney expressed his happiness over Wyle's success.
"Have you guys seen that show?" Clooney asks the audience after Meyers brought it up. "It's so good."
Clooney then recalled that he and Wyle have "been really dear friends since we did the pilot [for ER]," adding, "He is just the most honorable, talented young man. I get to say [that] because I'm an old man and I cannot be happier for his success on the show. The show is just a beautiful show, and he does just a great job with it."
7 episodes in. I almost quit after 2 episodes because its just a lot and as someone that doesnt have anxiety...it was giving me anxiety. The acting was just too good though I couldnt stop.
Dr. Robby is one of the best characters I have ever seen.
and Dr. King is the best.

The wife and I watched this over several nights not too long ago. I don't normally have much interest in these kind of shows - watched ER occasionally back when that was all the rage - but this one grabbed me from the get-go. Characters were great. And it did feel real.
Saw that season 2 is slated to begin in January.

I binged this show over the last couple of weeks and it's great, but damn it's intense. Pretty sure this show is better served watching one episode per week so you can decompress from each one. Watching 1-2 per day is not recommended, I learned my lesson.

Very few shows have me wanting more after watching. This was one of them.

I just watched the whole season over the last couple days with my father in law. Don't have max, so that was one reason, but also just had to keep going. Great show.
I'm only like 5 episodes into this, and this show seems to try to sell itself on being realistic, but how realistic is it that ER docs don't wear face masks when doing a surgery?
Also, I am not sure I can take much more wokeness. I am rooting for the mom that interrupted her 17 year old's late abortion. I want the doctors who falsified the record to face consequences, but I get the feeling that won't happen.

No need to worry about the mom and abortion. The mom agrees to it after she gets over the initial shock.
p.s. You seem to be looking for wokeness where it doesn't exist.
The thing that keeps irritating me about all of it.....
Why if beds are so scarce and wait times so long, are they keeping the mom who admitted to taking ipecac to make herself vomit, in the ER? Why not release her or stick her in a wheelchair to get her fluids and free up a bed?
And apparently if you come in thru the waiting room, you have a 5-6 hour wait. But if you walk in through the ambulance entrance, you get seen right away. Why don't they send people who walk in thru ambulance entrance to the lobby to wait with everyone else? Guess if I ever need the ER, I'm instructing hubby to walk me in thru ambulance entrance.
And the amount of people who come in for crap that can be taken care of in urgent care or a regular doctor's office is INFURIATING. yes, I know that's actually what happens in ERs, so that's not me dogging on the show. Just expressing my frustration about the idiocy of people who think their cut, sprained ankle, or 99.2 fever is ER-worthy.

It's a great show, but it's like the writers have a checklist of every controversial and woke issue in the past 5 years to meet their wickets. There's definitely no overlooking or noticing it.

Yeah I just saw that episode. The black doctor then has a miscarriage right after pushing the abortion of an innocent baby. I guess karma wins over woke.

Man, you'd have been frustrated as hell watching me work last night with a few of the patients that walked in or came in by ambulance. A family of 5 checking in for cough, after one of the kids was already diagnosed with RSV. Having to figure out through sign language that another guy decided to come in for 5 years of leg swelling after he had already been at another ER but decided to leave and call 911 to pick him up from there to come to us "because we have better Wi-Fi". Another guy showing up for his 24th time in 4 months because now he believes he has temporal arteritis after putting his symptoms into chatGPT because he had 10 minutes of left temple pain. Or the every day issue of "I decided to check my blood pressure at 3 in the morning and it was high but im not having any symptoms."

Gonna be a great season. Glad this is back so quickly. More shows should follow their lead.
Already been renewed for a third season.
Always a good time in the Pitt. Picking up where we left off, sort of.
I do have two small complaints about this season so far and most tv shows. It has been a few months since I watched season 1 and I only watched it once, no rewatching of episodes. But I feel the writers and actors have overrotated on some of their charming, well-received character traits from season 1. Examples, Charge Nurse Dana, she seems so over the top with this "mama bear" of the ER, with southern-sounding catch phrases and comments. Similary Dr. Mel seems extra asbergery and awkward. I understand she has a deposition later, but it still seems a bit too much. I know this happens with most shows: take something the audience loves and beat it to death. Clay Davis, Dwight Shrute, Phill Dumphey, etc.
Also, do not like Dr. Whitaker's European Mullett.
All that said, I'll be back in the Pitt every week as long as this show is on.

Solid first episode. Robby wants nothing to do with Langdon, understandably...but he treated him harsher and more distantly than I expected. Curious what the cliffhanger with the newborn is going to be.

I agree with your comment on Dr. Mel. That was my one complaint about the first episode. They really dialed it up with her for the first hour.
Some sort of fatal genetic condition she has intimate experience with, presumptively with her own child, is what I'm guessing. It will be the thing that humanizes her to Robby and us, the audience, because up until now she has been a bit robotic and annoyingly by the corporate book.
My two main nitpicks:
Whittaker is like a first week intern (most residencies start end of June or beginning of July). Ain't no way anyone is giving him medical students and he certainly wouldn't be that confident. It'd make more sense if he was a few months in like Santos last season (although even that is a stretch). I've never met a competent first week intern in my career, including myself. He should still be in his sh**ting bricks phase of medical education.
Santos stating she wants to be dual boarded in emergency medicine and general surgery is absurd and is not something that ever happens in the United States, and she'd be laughed at by all her colleagues, both EM and gen surg alike. The lifestyle of a general surgeon and their call schedule would not allow for her to be practicing both.

Was Whittaker a med student last year, not a resident? What's the normal progression of those roles?
No, he was a 4th year med student. He is literally just starting his intern year. You have your pre-clinical years of medical school (year 1-2) and your clinical years (year 3-4). Then you start residency which the length of training will depend on specialty. Emergency medicine is typically 3 years of training, although there are a few programs that are 4 years of training for reasons unclear to everyone. The Pitt's EM program is one of these residency programs that is 4 years. Whitaker was a M4 (4th year student) last year, now an intern (R1). Santos was an R1 now an R2. Mel was R2 now an R3. Mohan went from R3 to R4. Langdon is repeating his R4 year. Collins is now theoretically an attending but is no longer on the show.
General surgery training is 5 years +1-2 research years depending on if trying to do a competitive fellowship. Garcia was an R5 gen surgery resident last year and now a 1st year trauma/critical care fellow which is typically going to be 1-2 years of additional training.

That's helpful, thanks. I think I assumed that Santos, Whitaker, and Javadi were all part of the same class, but that makes more sense.
I love this show. Watch the behind the scenes after episode 2. Greatest thing on TV and its not even close.
I'm far from a doctor, but I was pretty excited when I recognized the rhythm on the monitor during the practice code. I said "That's Torsades! He needs mag sulfate!" I just wish there had been someone else in the room to hear me.
As a T1 diabetic, I thought that they should have really ratcheted up the DKA's blood sugar. 521 is a rookie number. I needed to see 700, 800.

They addressed the impracticality of this in episode 2, at least.
Great episode 2. Love how they slow down and start reminding us of the staff, their personalities, and relationships. I absolutely love the two Asian nurses who just talk S in their foreign language.
As a EM doc and fan of this board, would yall want to do an AMA (ask me anything) on the ET board for the PITT and emergency medicine at some point?
Dr Not yet Dr. ag, (or any other EM docs) if you are wanting to join too that would be great. Maybe we could pick a time and would love to give an hour or so, and just answer questions.
I have a hard time watching the show because it's so real and it's hard finding entertainment in something that is just so reminiscent of work, so I'm going along at a snails pace and way behind.

I work in EMS and the brother/sister hanging on to the Father was tough to watch. I work in an area with aging patient population have calls like that once a month. The medicine/treatment aspect is straight forward but managing the emotions of the family is challenging because they are usually under a great deal of stress.
But overall it is a good show that does show all sides of the patient and provider view points. Side note, going to the hospital by ambulance does not guarantee that you will be placed in a room. A lot of non-urgent cases go to the lobby. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk….
Has anyone ever stolen your ambulance?
Just catching up on this show. I was doing clinical hours with HFD and our ambulance got shot. Don't miss emergency medicine.....that much.

My brother in law is an ER doctor. I asked him if he liked it, and was specifically wondering if he'd be into it, simply bc I figured it could be hard to watch after spending all day at work.
While I'd certainly participate, I feel like this thread is already the perfect place for people to ask questions regarding emergency medicine as it relates to The Pitt. However, if anyone disagrees and would prefer discussions about the actual medicine were done somewhere other than this thread, we could certainly make a separate thread.

I think it works well to just answer questions on the thread as they pop up, and I appreciate the insight that y'all can provide.
