Notes -
I'm on the third episode of The Pitt right now and it was pretty jarring whenthe Indian doctor chewed out the aw-shucks white guy for being unsure if the sickle cell patient is drug seeking or not , but I'm willing to give it a pass so far since the Indian doctor got chewed out later in the episode for spending too much time on the sickle cell patient . However, I am pretty sure I see an incel school shooting arc coming from a mile away which promises to be very tedious.
It's also very black pilling about how many scarce ER resources are used up by drug users and the underclass, like the guy who had to be airlifted(!) to the hospital after a copper theft went wrong. I doubt that the showrunners intended this interpretation though.
Absolutely true to life though! Some mostly not burnt out and energetic trainee yelling at a more junior trainee who is just trying to not die and then herself getting yelled at by a much more burnt out supervisor. This is life!
The resolution of the arc you are thinking about is done very well, don't worry.
And yes practical experience of medicine can be very black pilling - homeless, drug users, illegal immigrants...but then also fat people, people who refuse to take their meds or listen to other advice...it gets murky very quickly.
