You’re not the first to point out the bad compressions, anything else craw sticking for you? Stuff that non-med/first responders would miss?

-Rails! Put the fucking rails up! You don’t make it half an inch moving a patient in a bed with the rails down before a nurse is (rightly!) coming for your head!

-The med students and even the intern are too trusted. They wouldn’t be given this much trust and solo time in the first hours of their first shift in a rotation.

-There are a lot of major cases coming in, and don’t get me wrong; there’s a good balance between the major and the mundane. But this is a lot of major cases coming in, and I’m only four episodes/four shift hours in. I get why; it’s a show, they need the drama. But this would be an INSANE day in the ED, even for a busy hospital. And I can’t imagine that’s going anywhere.

-Also, this isn’t so little, but in a massively busy ED, you somehow had 4 nurses + the charge nurse, restraining a patient so the sub-intern could jab him with no resident or attending in sight?

For real, I have so many questions about that scene. This is the biggest WTF for me so far.

Don’t take the criticisms too seriously. I’m actually really enjoying the PItt so far, which I don’t think I’ve said about any medical show ever in my life. So good job Pitt!

The Pitt Spoilers asked and answered

So I’m slowly watching the Pitt. And it’s making me break a long-standing rule I’ve had: to never criticize TV CPR.

I know what real chest compressions can do to a person. I’ve also been on sets and know that breaking an actor’s ribs trying to do real/real looking CPR…yeah, that’s uh…well, we’ll go with frowned upon.

I understand that they want to show the drama of having a person perform chest compressions on another person. I get all the reasons why those are done on an actor and not faked by other means, it’s either going to be too expensive, or not look like a real person and take away from the drama, or a combo of both. (Though when they’re showing just the doctor/life saver they can use a cut and put a damn dummy under them. Come on.) But at least get your actors in the right fucking position! Are all medical shows this lazy with CPR now? Jesus!

Come on Pitt, fucking hell the 9-1-1s have done better chest compressions than that shit!

For real There's a lot of good with the Pitt But do NOT be given and promote the title 'the most accurate medical drama on TV' And have that shit be your chest compressions

For weeks now. Weeks! You guys have been coming into my askbox with your ‘have you watched the Pitt, Bash’ and ‘You should try the Pitt, Bash.’ And in all that time not one of you little fuckers thought to give me a heads up that fucking degloving happens like 10 minutes in. AND THEY SHOW IT!! Like just full on ‘hey here ya go, have degloved fucking foot!’ You bastards!

Non spoilery question about the Pitt. How frequently are medical staff assaulted? What about first responders?

It’s insanely high across the board. Hospital staff (not just doctors and nurses either, ALL hospital staff), paramedics, firefighters, and - yes even though a lot of people think they deserve it not matter what which is a whole other can of worms- cops.

It’s been high for years. It’s on the rise, but it’s also historically been massively under reported in all fields, which makes that rise even scarier. Because it’s usually only the really bad shit that gets reported. Which means that’s what’s on the rise.

To put it in perspective, I’ve been a firefighter for over a decade. I have not made it through a single year without some kind of altercation happening. I’ve made it through two years, not consecutively, where it’s only been one altercation. Be it physical or sexual.

Now there is understanding for the non-sexual physical altercations. Actually it’s more than understanding. There is sympathy. There is empathy.

People are going through the worst moments of their lives. They’re emotional, and it’s hitting them in ways they’ve never likely felt before. So they blow. Now this the crux of the issue. This is a reason, the emotion, not an excuse, but it’s treated as such. Dismissed as such. By everyone. By the general public, who of course feel so bad for the husband who lost his wife, the sister who lost a brother, the family who lost a home. By the lawyers and judges who over estimate the types of dangers we signed up for. By ourselves. Who say all the same things.

But it needs to stop.

It needs to be reported each and every time. It needs to not be dismissed. People need to face real consequences for the action. Especially post pandemic, where it’s just as likely to be ignorance fuelling the violence as it is a raw emotional outburst. Maybe it’s time sympathy took a bit of a back seat. And it and understanding stop being so conflated.

Hi Bash! You’ve been very quiet on here, hope things are going well. Have you watched the Pitt at all? Curious to know your thoughts.

Hi Nonny.

Yeah sorry for the long lulls on here, life went from zero to 100. A promotion that wasn’t supposed to go into full effect until fall happened my third shift back from Leave. So it’s been a bit of a learning curve! And I’ve had to put writing on the back burner until it becomes a stress-relief again instead of stressful.

Hopefully I will be back more on here and Ao3 soon.

I have not watched the Pitt, but I’ve heard good things. And I don’t mean that purely it’s a good show perspective, a lot of docs and nurses I know pretty impressed.

I live in an apartment building in nyc. I heard a smoke alarm going off on my floor and smelled smoke. I opened my apartment door to check the hallway and some woman in the hallway yelled at me to shut my apartment door and that she called downstairs to tell them about the smoke. Thankfully it turned out that a neighbor 2 doors down had overcooked something but the whole thing made me really anxious and made me realize I don’t know the proper protocol. Was opening my door to check the hallway the wrong move in case there were flames in the hallway? Was my neighbor in the hallway right in that I should go back inside and shut the door instead of vacating and going to the lobby of the building? Made me realize I need to get smarter about what to do in case of an emergency. Also, made me nervous about living in an apartment building since your safety is dependent on strangers.

First and foremost I’m glad you’re alright and that it wasn’t anything too serious.

Your neighbour, while likely well intentioned, was not right. Now maybe she knew exactly what was going on, but you know that with 100% certainly? Or was it a lucky guess on her part?

It is always better to take a needless trip outside.

Unless directed to do so by a first responder, or you literally cannot get out*, it is always best practice to leave.

IDK if it’s law in NYC like it is in Ontario, but I can’t imagine it isn’t, check your stairwells, the lobby and higher traffic areas for your buildings emergency exit plan. They have to have plans listed in multiple places (at least where I am). Look for it. Study it, snap a photo of it and keep in on your phone. Hell print it and hang it somewhere in your apartment. It will spell out exactly what they want you to do.

*idk if you did this or not, but always check your door first, before opening it. Visually first: is there any blistering/peeling paint? Any dark spots forming, rolling smoke coming from all edges? Yes, don’t open the door. No, move on to touch. With the back of your hand feel it is it hot? Is the handle? Yes, don’t open the door. Call 9-1-1 let them know what’s going on, let them k ow you’re trapped. Dispatch will help direct you to the safest place in your apartment to be until help gets there.
