Taking a moment to appreciate the following:

Robbie facing a fresh loss on the back of a traumatic and formative loss, retreating into the paed room where one of those losses happened and the other will now be laid out, and trying to comfort himself with the words of his late grandmother in S1.

Robbie facing down his own mortality but entering the paed room and cradling a new life in his arms and offering her his own comfort, the words he would have liked to hear, and the echoes of all the staff who love him, worry about him, and offered him support through the entirety of S2.

Something about the way he mostly avoided baby Jane Doe the entire season, but when he is finally able to leave the building, all the work done, he chooses to go back in there, into the room with so many traumatic memories painted into the walls, and cradle the child who was left behind as he was.

"Why are you crying? You're safe. You're not alone."

Crazy how so many people can't understand the concept of fluid work shifts.

If so many people on here weren't freaking over Mohan being written out I wouldn't even know about it.

I assumed that literally every character we didn't see in S2 wasn't working that day. They even talk about their crazy shifts in the show!

And this might just be obvious to me, but like...Those of us that watch hospital dramas know how crazy shifts are right? We know doctors can and will be put on up to 24 hour shifts? Please tell me I'm not alone in this.

WELL. We super called pretty much everything about Robby and Abbot's dynamic? I lost it at the emergency contact, though. At this point, I really do think Abbot has keys to Robby's place. We were right about everything else!

[abbotcoded]

friendly reminder that this is what Jack and Robby could have if they adopted baby Jane Doe

Haven’t seen the level of delusion the pitt fans show since the larry fandom. How did such a good show attract such an insane, conspiracy theorist fandom??

[morgans-dumpster]

I keep seeing people in The Pitt fandom going off about how Robby is being unfair to certain residents, and I think y'all are forgetting what their job is. They're working in an emergency room.

Their job is to save lives. Al-Hashimi getting a seizure, even if it lasts 5 seconds, could be the difference between someone living or dying. Samira taking too long with patients, getting too distracted by her personal life to focus on work, etc is directly affecting the amount of time people have to wait in the waiting room and it's affecting her response time too in the case of an emergency.

There are human lives at stake. It's a very intense, high pressure job. It's very specifically an emergency room. Not family medicine. It's not "you're 5 minutes late and your patient is pissed" it's "if you're 5 minutes late to a trauma your patient will die".

Robby's job is to run an ER. There's barely any room for error in this field. This is why he's in such a bad place mentally, and it's why he's so hard on his residents and students and why he yelled at the two medics in front of everyone. This is not a silly mistake, it's a mistake that could've cost a woman her life.

Be so fr, would you want your doctor to get a seizure when you're in the table after a bad accident and about to die? Would you think that's ok that an attending is getting a seizure during a moment that will decide if you live or die? How would you react if you were sick sitting in an ER and the reason you're not being called in is because the doctor is having a chat with other patients that don't need her attention anymore? How would you feel if a medic missed your heart attack because he was too scared of your boobs to check for it properly?

You can and should criticize the way he talks to them, but you're treating it like he's an abelist for suggesting Al-Hashimi can't be an attending, or that he's a misogynist for thinking Samira doesn't have what it takes to work in an ER. He's got a ton of issues he needs to work on. He's projecting onto others way too much. But he's not being unfair when he's questioning their ability to function in an ER.

"idk why the pitt season 2 took place during the fourth of july, nothing happened" you dont know why the show thats showcasing the experience of traumatized and exhausted american healthcare providers trying to provide care as american institutions are falling apart and are actively hurting/hunting/brutalizing people would put the season on the day that used to romanticize america and cover up its faults

[mr-azure231]

In light of all the recent discourse trivializing and dismissing Robby’s suicidal ideation and depth of crisis which reflects society’s general attitude towards depression and other mental health issues, I want to share this excerpt from Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace:

The so-called ‘psychotically depressed’ person who tries to kill herself doesn’t do so out of quote ‘hopelessness’ or any abstract conviction that life’s assets and debits do not square. And surely not because death seems suddenly appealing. The person in whom Its invisible agony reaches a certain unendurable level will kill herself the same way a trapped person will eventually jump from the window of a burning high-rise. Make no mistake about people who leap from burning windows. Their terror of falling from a great height is still just as great as it would be for you or me standing speculatively at the same window just checking out the view; i.e. the fear of falling remains a constant. The variable here is the other terror, the fire’s flames: when the flames get close enough, falling to death becomes the slightly less terrible of two terrors. It’s not desiring the fall; it’s terror of the flames. And yet nobody down on the sidewalk, looking up and yelling ‘Don’t!’ and ‘Hang on!’, can understand the jump. Not really. You’d have to have personally been trapped and felt flames to really understand a terror way beyond falling.

Robby wasn’t and shouldn’t have been fixed by something akin to “you matter” or “don’t kill yourself”. He wasn’t thinking about killing himself because no one cares about him. He wanted to die because life had grown so painful for him—life in the ER was “leaching something from [his] soul” but he had no life outside the ER. So life as a whole was painful and he saw no way out.

There is no easy fix for this constant, incessant pain. But good news, you are not asked to fix him. His fictional nature aside, you are also not tasked with fixing up anyone in real life. But what you should do, is have compassion—to have some empathy for others who are going through such pain. And for gods sake, don’t trivialize it.

(Before you read this, just know that I haven't proofread anything, this is just a general rant about something concerning I've noticed in not only the Pitt fandom, but as a whole.)

Hey, so not to get political and stuff (I actually don't gaf and will get political whenever and however tf I want), but I have noticed the rise of... antisemitism and hostility towards Jewish people.

And a surprising amount of it (not really, if we're being honest) are from people who claim to be 'progressive', 'leftist', or even liberal / left leaning. People claim that it's 'pattern recognition', but if we're being completely honest with ourselves here, they just want an excuse to be hateful and have an excuse for it.

(Wow, surprising, not like people have done this multiple times before)

But what is really getting me about it, is that people seem to be more accepting of it (or at least think that it's tolerable) due to what's currently going on in the world. And I want to make it perfectly clear that no, antisemitism isn't acceptable nor is violence / hostility towards Jewish people. No matter how much people want to claim that it's just 'pattern recognition'. I am not for—and will never be for— generalizing a group of people.

And it's frustrating, because these people seem to be SO close to actually understanding what the problem is, the cause of the problems that have just been getting worse and worse. But then there's this claw, grabbing and clawing at their throats, telling them, "no, no it's not the billionaires. It's not the multi-million dollar companies, it's not the greedy corporations that don't care about people and only want more money. Noooo. It's the black people, it's the gay community, it's trans people, it's the immigrants, it's the Jews. They're the reason for this. It's their fault. Not us."

AND PEOPLE WILL SIT HERE AND BELIEVE IT WITH THEIR WHOLE CHEST.

But, not to go on a whole tangent. What I'm trying to say is that there is a concerning amount of people (on both sides, I've honestly seen it, I won't lie about something like that) get progressively more antisemitic and hostile towards Jewish people. And I feel like we have brushed passed it a bit too quickly.

i do think the funniest thing of the season was robby riding on his motorcycle helmetless and continuously denying to literally everyone that he doesn't ride without a helmet with literally no one believing him AND him being shocked when abbot calls it out. like dude you are the most obvious man on the planet.

1.15 & 2.15 | THE PITT

[omega-eyes-whitaker]

Hopefully by season 3 people will have come to the realization that you don’t have to watch a show if you hate its characters, its actors, its story decisions, its creators & basically everything about it
