dennis and trinity get one of those friendship bracelet making kits and trinity's like 'dude i made one for you, here you go' and hands dennis one that says cocksucker in sparkly letters with heart beads around it just for him to be like 'omg no way i just made you one' and it says lebsian (misspelled) with no other beads on it

that rooftop scene in the finale was actually so important.

the rooftop is the setting in the pitt where people have these big emotional beats in which they reach out and attempt to find community. this is established in season one between jack and robby. in the beginning of episode one, we see jack facing the void and turning away from it to follow robby back to safety, robby does the same with jack at the end. season two reaffirms this interpretation.

all of these women we saw on the roof were on the brink this whole season. samira was personally and professionally adrift. mel was facing her malpractice suit and sister’s independence. perlah was facing national xenophobic sentiments and the pressure of being a highly capable nurse. dana was reeling from her assault and crumbling under the pressure of her position. mckay was realizing the depths of her emotional detachment. victoria was dealing with her insecurities and lack of freedom. trinity had the situationship and the frank confrontation and the child abuse trigger and the loss of dennis’s company.

all of these women were facing a profound loneliness, a profound void, a profound lack of support. they were all alone in this all day, briefly brushing against each other in moments that chafed and soothed in equal measure.

and just like jack and robby have each other to pull them back from the edge, these women can find that with each other in the exact same spot.

the pitt uses setting very well. the peds room represents the loss and gains of family. the bathroom represents the humanity denied to healthcare works. and the roof represents the community these providers find within each other.

they all have moments where they’re correcting, snapping, or disagreeing with each other this season. samira judges cassie for talking about her lack of intimacy, victoria and trinity have a more sarcastic relationship, mel flat out said trinity has a personality disorder, dana has been short with just about everyone. but in this one moment, they band together. they process the day, feel awe and exhaustion and sadness and wonder all at the same time, all together. they build an imperfect community out of tragedies.

it’s just impeccable story telling.

there’s something beautiful about the peds room being so associated with robby’s trauma but also where he finally realizes that it’s going to be okay. When he had the breakdown in season one, it was in the peds room (because of course it was, that room is associated with Dr Adamson’s death) and it feels like to me, baby Jane Doe is representing himself in that final scene. He told her what really he needed to hear. That he’s going to work through things and that he needs help but that’s okay. He’s allowed to need help. That he’s okay, he will be okay.

so basically if you wanna kys and everyone in ur life is telling you that you need help, the first thing u should do is adopt a child

[joyanwhimsy]

personally, I didn’t interpret that scene as robby choosing to foster baby jane doe but rather connecting with her and telling her what he needs to hear- that it’s going to be okay, and I interpreted it as him finally accepting that he needs help and resolving to get the help he needs

[puppydogwhitaker]

the pitt is really just about how shit sucks. it sucks so bad. there is this deeply entrenched, intentionally unempathetic dysfunction baked into the fabric of all of our institutions. we are at the mercy of these forces that are incomprehensible and insurmountable.

and yet, we gotta try.

we gotta get up everyday, face the darkness, and find balance if we can.

and we don’t have to do it alone! in fact we shouldn’t. we can’t. but we can find people to make all of the helplessness and suckiness a little more bearable. we can find people to stand on the roof with us, we can find people to hold us, we can find people who stay when we’re mean and flippant and can’t give anything back.

the message is hope, even in the depths of despair.

[bluntosism]

this entire paragraph .. yeah

[docbians]

So when Abbot tells a patient with an American flag sticking out of his chest without enough pain meds to "shut his fucking mouth" it's funny, but when my girl Santos privately calls a patient stupid for taking an absurd amount of turmeric supplements, she's an evil, unempathetic, monster? Ok.

It’s so fun watching the Pitt with a former L&D nurse because I have no idea how accurate the rest of the show is but I get full commentary through the birth scenes of everything they’re doing wrong or not fast enough and it is so fun

[joyanwhimsy]

I can’t express in words how happy it makes me that there’s an ASL interpreted version of all the episodes

this is so important to me

You know what I haven’t seen people talking about?

Trinity tracks social media “medical” trends. We can infer from this that she knows about, and probably follows, Dr. J.

She has not teased Victoria about this. Little miss teases everyone in her vicinity has not made a single quip about Dr. J.

Trinity Santos likes and respects Victoria Javadi.

In this essay I will—

i hate the revisionism people are doing regarding santos’ talents.. she went in there on her first day and did multiple successful procedures independently, one during a mass causality where no attendings were available and no one else dared to attempt. just because she struggles to chart on her first day of doing so (something many doctors struggle with/get annoyed with) does not negate the fact that she is talented.
