This might sound weird, but something I really love about The Pitt is the silence.
Medical dramas often get this so wrong, obviously for cinematic effect, but still; during an emergency in the ER, there isn't this overly dramatic yelling or shouting. Medical personnel needs to act fast and communicate a lot between nurses, doctors, technicians, and it cannot be done effectively if everyone is losing their shit crying and shouting. I am not saying there's whispering, but people are so focused they cannot afford to be dramatic about the actual dramatic situations unfolding; they need to stay clear-minded. Also, there is no tense or fast paced background music irl.
And the Pitt gets it: beeping and sounds of the machines aside, there is no unnecessary noise.
The only noises are patients arguing, mostly with each other or with their relatives -accurate- or the resident friendly neighbourhood drunkard yelling in the corridor to whomever passes by he wants to eat -also accurate.
tiny gays!!!!
so true!! here's some more:
dr john shen clocking in early as attending (after having been one for only 3 months) on this fucky ass day because there's an MCI and then once things start slowing down a kid comes in with measles and his parents are being unreasonable and while he deals with that he has to deal with those two old white men refusing to end their damn shifts and one of the day shift residents almost gets fucking arrested and there's an 18-year-old in custody in one of the rooms who will likely stay there all night with his sad mum and the day shift attending just showed a patient's father the fucking make-shift morgue and then right when they're about to close trauma a man's pelvic gets crushed and he has to stand there and listen to walsh and abbot argue over what is supposed to be his patient, really, and he can see the day shift attending dissociate for ten solid minutes and no one's even told him there are two rats still loose in his damn department and abbot calls him a nerd
why are we sleeping on sang-woo’s puppy dog eyes. HELLO????

gyeong-su died searching in the sea of faces for the man he idolized most.
gyeong-su died with fear in his eyes, not able to process the fact that the man he idolized most abandoned him, leaving him to die.
gyeong-su died trying to get himself back up after being kicked by the man who he idolized most; after being abandoned by people he thought were his friends.
gyeong-su died like this.
sang woo x gi hun
