72 Thoughts I Had While Watching ‘The Pitt’ Season 2, Episode 2

While some feel that God placed them on this mortal coil to become doctors and lessen the suffering of others, I, on the other hand, feel that God made me specifically to recap hospital shows. While I’d love to be filling you in on the goings-on from Season 257 of Grey’s Anatomy (yes, it’s still on! Yes, I still watch!), HBO Max’s The Pitt is definitely the medical drama to keep up with right now if you want anything to talk about with your coworkers on Slack on Friday morning. Below, find quite literally every thought I had about Season 2, Episode 2 of The Pitt. What’s going on with Dr. Al-Hashimi ? Why is she so depressed about this baby? I mean...to be fair, it’s an abandoned baby receiving emergency medical treatment, so maybe that’s why. Speaking of depressing, I forgot about this child abuse case :( Robby on one’s gut: “It’s this thing that AI will never have.” Get its non-sentient ass, king! Aw, Robby singing Santos’s praises makes me happy. Justice for Trinity Santos, my Pitt lesbian of choice! Do we think McKay’s hair is dark now because Fiona Dourif had to dye it for a different role, or is McKay herself just trying something new? These are the kinds of things I think about! Ew, blood. Again, God simply did not build me for this (witnessing blood, even on my TV screen). It’s really kind of crazy how much stuff doctors are expected to just...know. Okay, ortho shade! Put some respect on Dr. Callie Torres ’s good name! Aw, Louie. Louie is a better man than me for being willing to have the “student doctors” work on him. Like, yes, they “have to learn sometime,” but I was still displeased about having a med student in my last OB-GYN visit. (Yes, I could have opted out of having her there entirely, but I fear confrontation and would rather just bitch about it online.) Oh God, did this dumb, dumb girl glue her eye shut with false-eyelash glue? Oh my GOD, she used super glue????? I do want Langdon taking care of me in that scenario (which I flatter myself to think I would never be in, but then again, I did just smash a precious framed photo after hanging it in my apartment using a pushpin, so...maybe I’m not a genius either). Dana sighting! Everybody drink! Need to see Dana and Santos queening out over espresso martinis, stat. I love Javadi’s subtle and nervous cockiness, but it would also annoy the hell out of me if I actually worked with her. I’m addicted to saying, “That’s my name!” everytime someone introduces Emma the student nurse. Mmm. Maggots in cast. Cool. I don’t love how everyone is talking to this unhoused guy, but I guess it’s...accurate to how most health care providers operate? Personally, I don’t feel we entirely needed that last maggot close-up. “I am the O.R.!” Garcia, be my wife. I hate when the verb...
