One more thing on The Pitt. There's a warning at the beginning of nudity in a medical situation. This is true. HOWEVER, one of the scenes was a lady giving birth. And yes, if you are wondering, it was a close up shot of the head emerging...bald head coming through a spider web.

I'll never forget the first time I saw childbirth. I had not started my "medical" career journey. I had been an x-ray service guy for about 10 years and been around a lot of medical, but not in the clinical aspect. I was on a mission trip to Honduras and a buddy of mine was in his "internship" and was doing OB/GYN at a regional hospital in La Ceiba, Honduras. Let's just say, it was eye opening to say the least.


On a side note. I was about to start watching The Pitt. I just finished up The Wire. I always heard how good it was, but never took the time. I tried several years back but couldn't get into it. It has been a great series.

My first was my kid. Wife and I had agreed I'd stay up near her head as I had no interest in being further down during that event but dr kept telling me I had to see this. Some things can't be unseen.

We watched it a few months back... I had to force myself through it. I'll be interested to hear your take. Very, very minor spoiler.... After watching it, it appears Pittsburgh is a very dangerous city with an out of control white crime rate. Hopefully in season 2, they call in the National Guard to straighten all that out.

I find that take odd.

Spoiler: so, is it because

Of the dude that punched her? Never saw the shooter. If that's your take, I guess we can say the black population in Pitts are mostly nuts satisfied with a sandwich? No black first years though there's Hindu, on the spectrum, country white, Puerto Rican ...

Just find it really hard to believe that was very representative of a random shift in a Pitt ER. The entire show had an underlying woke (for lack of a better word) thread woven through it. Which is why it was so predictable. IMO

There are parts I can attest are accurate. I can't speak for the trauma related scenes. I'll have to think about the "undercurrent" you mention. They knocked the ol' "diversity" ball out of the park. Is that where the thought comes from?

That's under the umbrella of it, they definitely filled up the diversity bingo card.

That's one of those things we where can only shrug. When the Actors Guild said to qualify for an award you had the check the boxes...it was gonna happen unless the directors/producers just don't give a damn. Amidst all of that it's a little crazy it was the charge nurse that won the Emmy.

I highly recommend The Pitt. Amazing series.
