I just started watching this. I used to work at a hospital and I'm so heartened they worked hard to get things right.

As somebody who’s been at the ER as a patient, it certainly feels more like that than most TV depictions.

And a fictional depiction of nearly anything will do time compression - all your worst or best moments, just in a single day.

Loved this!!

I love the Pitt. I also love that it has gotten me to go back and watch ER, which really holds up.

Same! It's hard to wait a week between episodes, but it's so worth it - especially when there's ER to watch in the interim.

As someone who spent a couple of months in a hospital room last year, my one nitpick is that there is WAY too little/too quiet beeping and not enough piercing alarms going off. 😂 None of these shows gets that right—they can’t because you wouldn’t be able to hear any dialogue over the constant din!

"Dr Mel" is Bryan Cranston's kid? #wow

I’m really enjoying this show. Told my wife I didn’t want to watch with her, it’s more her thing, but I’ve gotten sucked in.

Ask a forward aid medic with combat zone experience about M*A*S*H sometime. That show is historical fiction, emphasis on history.
