FUUUUUUUUUCK, the little girl drowning victim case. This one is WORSE than the Nick Bradley case. I get it, but I feel like it would have been so much better for Bella in the long run if she got to see Amber before they stopped the life saving efforts on her. She was kind of robbed of that, and if she ever found out, I bet she would never forgive her parents. But suffice to say I'm crying again watching the scene with Bear and Dr King who CRUSHES almost everything she does. Santos was out of line 100% . And I mean, even if the guy DIDN'T do it what is he gonna do when threatened with being killed by a doctor, blink once in a yolo moment? Who knew if it was happening but Santos really needed to face an ethics investigation for her sheer and utter disregard for any sort of protocol. She's so erratic, just all over the place. Oh, and my flavor of ADHD means I need to hyperfocus to get anything done. If I'm going like 5 minutes and then losing focus on tasks, that wipes me out. No way could I work in that end of medical, I did medical billing for a long time, along with some worker's comp case management, but to be a provider? no thanks.

2025-10-23 05:29:44 +0000 UTCThe actor has ADHD and she said she was happy that she was able to finally bring that into a character rather than hiding it. I assume she ramped it up and made some modifications for the particulars that are different between the two, but she might even be dual diagnosis, my spouse is and I have pretty severe ADHD myself.

2025-10-04 12:29:57 +0000 UTCI also think it's pretty clear that Robby isn't just getting on Mohan's case bc of the beds/pressure from above but as a way to take out his stress on her - every time he has a trigger of Addamson/his past he immediately goes to Mohan to tell her off in a way that honestly starts to get unprofessional.

2025-09-04 07:30:42 +0000 UTCyeah I honestly hate the way they handled the storyline with the potential csa and Santos' backstory - I feel like it's such a big and great moment for Santos to have her backstory and really humanize her in a way we hadn't seen her before - but the scene with the dad is honestly cringy and if I'm being real? feels like a power fantasy from a male lens. In my opinion I would have loved to see a version of the ep where she still fucks up the initial convo with the daughter but after maybe has a convo with Mckay (who is excellent at using her trauma to connect w/ patients rather than it being baggage) and then we learn her backstory when she tells it to the daughter as a way to connect with her. I think that would have been really beautiful to see - even if the case still didn't end w/ the daughter speaking up - also I don't hold this against Santos as a character bc it's (to me) more an issue of poor writing than anything she is doing

2025-09-04 07:19:47 +0000 UTCAbout Dr King and the autistic patient. I am autistic and I work with autistic people, it's just a matter of figuring out their communication style and accepting Any communication including gestures, pointing, unusual speech, echolalia, as communication. It's something I find people are often unwilling to do. Also. Dr King is definitely a low support needs autistic person, it feels like she was intentionally written that way to me.

The thing with men like these, is they are extremely dangerous—and as awful as CSA is, there are actually worse things they can do, especially when they are extremely motivated. And believe me, perpetrators like these are extremely motivated to stay out of prison, for obvious reasons. The guy may not be physically capable right now, but men have become family annihilators for much less significant motivations. Santos put her own needs for some kind of sublimated sense of revenge above the needs of that girl. Intervention was absolutely needed, but that’s the job for the social worker to facilitate. Now that man has a reason to escalate.

2025-08-01 01:24:33 +0000 UTC@Taco: I agree 100%. Anyone who cheered Santos on is not looking at the actual reality of what Santos did, and what its likely impact would be. Both the girl and her mother are now in danger, especially when what the mother did is revealed. Santos got her, “Ain’t I the ish” moment but she literally made things worse for that family. As much as I don’t want any harm to come to either the mother of the daughter. I would love if this is revisited next season since this season covers one tour of duty. As for Collins and the miscarriage, I don't’ know what the show could have done to satisfy viewers once the decision for her to miscarry was made. Collin’s was show experiencing pain an discomfort a few times, which clued me in on the outcome. However, if they had the miscarriage take place first, people would have complained that she supported the abortion because she lost her baby. Have the miscarriage take place after, and the implication of it being a punishment is there. The more sensible option would have been for the pregnancy not to have been incorporated into the season.

2025-08-01 00:27:39 +0000 UTCI really really love what you said about how you can care, but “you have to care *enough* to help people get the proper help from people who are more qualified to provide that help.” That is so true and beautifully said. I work closely with mental health patients and their families that often disclose really really difficult things to us in passing even if we aren’t the therapist. It’s natural for my mama bear to want to come out and I want to just hug them and go after the people that hurt them. There’s a reason I go through so much training to make sure we don’t compound the trauma of the victims or mess with the proper reporting process if there are investigations that need to be done. That’s why we have boundary training up the wazoo—if we feel TOO connected or a patients trauma is triggering something for us, we have to hand off to someone who isn’t. We also have to let the therapists know what’s going on because they are trauma informed and have built the trust to approach it properly. We step back, hand off, and report properly, BECAUSE we care about our patients. Santos’s heart is in the right place—but her behavior was a disaster and likely made a lot of things worse for lots of people (the next person to suspect something who tries to build trust, investigators, the victim).

2025-07-28 22:05:12 +0000 UTCQUIZ: All night you are throwing up. Some eruptions feel like they travel from your toes to your mouth. Violently. You feel like Mt. Vesuvius. You are drained... You don't want to go to the Hospital, as it's right in the middle of Covid, and you don't want to be a bother to those over-worked Doctors and Nurses. But, finally, you drag your empty carcass there. You wait in the Emergency Room for 4 hours, then are put on a stretcher for 4, with a Glucose IV, waiting for a room. Once admitted, it's NOT Covid...just a complete failure of your Gall Bladder , and it has to come out. (By the way, a true personal anecdote, and would have been a Cliff-Hanger if delayed much longer). So....WHICH Fictional "The Pitt" Doctor do you want as a Primary Care Physician and WHY? (Robinavitch, Collins and Langdon are not in the Mix). There is NO correct Answer. 1. Dr. Samira Mohan 2. Dr. Mel King 3. Dr. Cassie McKay 4. Dr. Trinity Santos 5. Dr. Victoria Javadi 6. Dr. Dennis Wittacre For the Removal of your Gall Bladder, you choose: 1. Dr. Abbott 2. Dr. Garcia 3. Dr. Shamsi 4. Dr. Ellis 5. Dr. Walsh Maybe I need a separate QUIZ for the Nurses!
