The fucking Nick Bradley case, this one gets you so hard in your feels over the course of this day, which I can say now that you are done and I'm just catching up. This show has a lot of heartbreak and this case is an onion cutter but not the worst of the shift. There are at least 3 that absolutely wreck me on this shift/season.

2025-10-22 04:40:09 +0000 UTCSending you lots of love - - I'm so sorry about your cousin. One of the powerful things about this show is that it covers so many different medical situations that I think every audience member will get hit hard at some point (or multiple points). I'm loving watching this again along with you. Thank you, as always, for your openness, honesty, and willingness to talk about the ugly realities around us. I do love the wide representation in casting this series. It represents what the real world is like. Dr. Mel is one of my favs - - do the rest of you read her as being on the spectrum? Fun fact for those that don't know - - she's Bryan Cranston's daughter. She's amazing! I also love Dana, the head nurse. She is the most "Pittsburgh" of all the characters, especially in the way she speaks. :) Oh, and Taco, what show do you know the administrator from? I couldn't quite make out what title you were saying. I know her from "The Wire," where I loved her acting so much. Have you seen ER, or are you aware of it? Noah Wylie, who plays Dr. Robbie, was an intern on that show in the 90s. It was a huge hit. I love seeing him back in a hospital, playing a doctor who is quite different than the one he played back then. I can't wait for you to get back to this show. It's sooooo good.

2025-06-08 18:44:02 +0000 UTCI agree. I have a 45 year work history in healthcare, working in hospitals including private, public and VA, also with outpatient and nursing homes. My work took me bedside with patients and closely working with nursing and physician staff. As my career got longer and the more you see and experience, it gets clearer the bias that exists. And sadly I feel it is even worse now. Staff shortages and corporate takeovers have certainly contributed. Our healthcare system in the US is indeed broken. My own recent experience in the ER as a patient proved that to me even more. This show is doing a remarkable job of bringing to light what is going on and I hope everyone could watch it. Rewatching as you are.

2025-06-08 14:39:36 +0000 UTCI work in medicine on the pharmacy side and even though that's slightly more removed than a show like this, I still see the racism prevalent with underprescribing and hear difficult patient stories on a daily basis. I think calling it a disconnect is being too generous to white doctors tbh 😅 there are actual medical studies showing how harmful and prevalent racism and racial bias is in our field, so if a doctor isn't actively working to check those biases despite the evidence it's purely lack of empathy and a form of cruelty. we have so many CE's (i think emt's also have ce's for their license but for anyone else that stands for continuing education) that there's genuinely no excuse for ignorance and inaction. anywayyyy super glad you're enjoying the show and so happy it won the poll because it's been my obsession lately and rewatching with you is helping my research for the fanfic I write about this show 😅😂

2025-06-08 00:32:20 +0000 UTCsending love and prayers your way Nova, glad to see you here in the comments. Yes the medical system is so flawed then you throw in some peoples personal bias and it becomes chaos unfortunately :(

2025-06-07 22:08:28 +0000 UTCThis show is painful, damn. Really good though. I'm someone with a lot of physical disabilities that has earned me a lot of medical abuse, so it's hard seeing anyone going through medical abuse. The sickle cell patient hurts - medical misogynoir is deadly and awful, and the rate of deaths during childbirth is shameful. I'm glad this show is touching on tough subjects, even if I just spent almost two hours crying watching these.
