JIYEONG FOR CHARACTER BINGO
i love her.
sangwoo: me and gihun are having a baby
sae byeok: thats grea-
gihun, slamming adoption papers on the table: its you, sign here-
idk if anyone has corn plated this but i love santos getting handed the coffee & immediately handing it to whitaker so much. such an unimportant detail to the script but sooo key to their early characterization. they’re so cute 2 me
The strongest theme of The Pitt for me is how nothing is how the public expects it. You think you know how unhoused people look like? No, he can be a fourth year med student doing his best. CSA survivor with a best friend who committed suicide? she's the meanest R1 who is not letting injustice slide and gets so excited about every procedure. The addict and the woman going through a miscarriage are the most competent senior residents you've ever seen. The attending saving the day at the last minute is an amputee.
Noah Wyles and his team really said "Nothing in ER departments is how it's supposed to be from the 12-hour wait times to the lack of blood, but people going through what would be anybody else's worst day are the only thing keeping the american healthcare system together"
something about how losing a mentor figure and blaming himself for it fucked robby up so bad he couldn't work on the anniversary of his death for 3 years. how he tries and tries and tries to find hope, to find a way to make death easier to accept, to work hard enough that blame is impossible (even though he'll blame himself anyway). something about santos losing a close friend, a confidante, maybe one of the only people in the world who had gone through the same shit she had, and it sticking with her so intensely that she risked everything multiple times to get to the truth, to get to emotional cores of situations even when she didn't have to. something about samira "we don't bring our baggage to the job" mohan getting upset with the dad who refused to admit he was an addict. something about javadi losing it with the dad who loved his son but couldn't just love his son. something about mckay understanding addicts, understanding people and parents who risk everything for their kids. something about abbot spending three hours trying to save a vet. something about how the pitt looks you dead in the eye and says don't you forget for one second that these doctors are people too.
tell me, cho sang-woo, does the guilt eat you alive?
