The Pitt, Season 2

So, yes, those who foreshadowed Louie's death appear to be on target.

Robby seems to be losing patience. With everything.

Did Langdon REALLY screw up with the sepsis patient? Was prescribing Keflex the right thing to do when she first presented hours before?

They're clearly foreshadowing that al-Hashimi's genAI is going to blow up in someone's face. Maybe Santos.

I don't think Langdon screwed up, at least not in a way that most doctors wouldn't also "screw up" in that he was not maximally cautious in a triage situation where the patient has no other symptoms and is expressing an urgent need to leave. He treated appropriately given what he knew and knew the risk and gave her good instructions that brought her back to the ED when the rash spread. Would it have been better for her to be treated more aggressively the first time and kept for observation? Yes. Are EDs set up to accommodate that level of care for a patient who is requesting to leave and whose symptoms are not severe? Absolutely not. And Robby knows that.

This season, they seem to be really digging into the ways that medical care is heavily influenced by factors that are outside the doctors' control. Things like insurance, bed availability, strain on another part of the system that gets pushed along the pipeline (like the other ED going "code black" and shifting patients to the Pitt). Well this waitress with the infection is a good example as well. She does hourly shift work and is highly motivated to get back to to work. Langdon was seeking to be sensitive to that reality and offer her the best care possible. He was also in the clinic at the time, not the ED itself. The whole point of the clinic is to "treat and street" cases to reduce wait times and pressure on the ED. It is inevitable that this will sometimes lead to releasing a patient who winds up back in the ED later with a worsening issue. It happens a lot -- the system is designed for it.

I think Langdon and Robby successfully revive Louie and reconnect over that experience. I hope so, anyway.

I don't think Langdon screwed up, he followed standard protocol. Robby's seething resentment toward him just leaks out at any opportunity. And of course Robby is done, done, done and really needs that time off.

Agree with this.

Also Whitaker and poor farm widow lady?

Wait I missed the toothbrush comment - when was it??

Ep 2.1: Whitaker was being ribbed, I don't remember why. Garcia says, "Unfortunately, he also likes to use other people's toothbrushes," with Whitaker replying, "It was one time. They were the same color".

What does it mean?!

Remember Santos is letting Whitaker stay with her. This means that Garcia slept over and he inadvertently used her toothbrush!

Wow. Good catch!

Slept over with Whitaker? Or Santos?

Santos. Whitaker shares Santos's apartment, therefore bathroom where the toothbrush mixup happened.

I can’t buy it bc of Dr Rabby’s storyline with Dr Langdon in season 2, Dr Rabby is cold and punishing towards Dr Langdon, presumably bc he feels betrayed due to Dr Langdon’s drug use and stealing drugs from the hospital. BUT, John Carter also used drugs and stole them from the hospital as a young doctor (after he was stabbed), and his cousin was an addict who OD’d. Carter’s fellow doctors and mentors were nothing but supportive to him during and after, so Carter would never be acting this way to Dr Langdon and would be a lot more understanding.

Dr. Robby is not literally Dr. Carter, perhaps because the Creighton estate didn't agree. So he doesn't have Carter's back story/history.

The Macgyver line in the latest episode was funny. The young'ins had no idea who he was talking about.

I just watched the trailer and there's no mention of Westboro. But it does look like it'll be a Dana-focused episode, which I am here for!
