No. A past abortion does not cause miscarriages in future pregnancies. WTF?

Not always but I think that's what the show was implying.

The politics of the show does not support this. They are definitely pro-choice. Not that this happened to Collins but, a botched back alley abortion can lead to later fertility issues or even death, which is why legal abortion and the right to choose is so important.

They left a gray area about the parent's rights of a mother whose daughter was trying to get an abortion without her consent.

They made it clear. A person who is pregnant should have more rights than the parent of the pregnant person. They did not make it a gray area -- the only ambiguity was following the letter of the law versus human rights.

I'm not really sure if I bought Robby trying so hard to save that girl who was clearly gone or his step son blaming him for her death. I hate the redemption arc for Santos.

Why would Santos need a redemption arc? She’s proven to be extremely competent and caught out a doctor stealing drugs and working high.

Because she’s annoying?

More than annoying,
she takes risks she's not authorized to take,
she gives her co-workers unkind nicknames,
and she's quick to accuse people of serious offenses with little proof.
But the show keeps having her get vindicated for her actions.

I'm reminded of a present day real life analogy.

She keeps succeeding, in other words.

For those who don't understand the importance of the scene with Collins and the black mother who was so relieved and thankful that someone finally listened and provided appropriate treatment, there is a ton of literature demonstrating that black patients are consistently treated dismissively in medical settings. The Pitt is trying to be a realistic show, and that is a realistic scene.

She has taken medical risks and succeeded, which has emboldened her to take more risks, not a good formula. She got Langdon right, but she was likely wrong about the father she threatened to murder, she may or may not have been right about the girl with the STD, she was the cause of the kid getting a concussion from being tacked by the police even though he was not likely the shooter. She's toxic.

Cockiness in men is often called "betchiness" in women. Consider why you find her annoying, but not Dr. Druguse.

Another intense episode. Makes sense that David was not the shooter, which is looking to be the case, because otherwise this would be way to much to have Robby blame himself for.

Also enjoyed the comic relief of a couple moments like when McKay stabbed her ankle band.

You are confusing multiple characters, none of whom are Collins. Maybe rewatch the show?

Santos caught Langdon's drug use. May/may not have been wrong about that dad. Wasn't involved with the woman with the STI, nor the cause of the kid getting tackled (pretty sure both of those were McKay)

There are a few great examples of the medical providers' lived experience coming through to benefit their patients, or at least try to help beyond regular protocol and procedure. What you said about Collins is bang on. Also, Dr. King's understanding of what would help the autistic patient feel understood, the two providers who did street outreach catching the possible STI/trafficking situation, etc.

I noticed last night that when Robby was working on Leah, they showed numerous other patients starting to go south and sh*t hitting the fan in general to drive home the message that in this kind of emergency, they really can’t afford to focus too much on one patient and that’s why all the mass casualty rules are so important.

Just calling out (in a good way!) this comment re Collins and King’s lived experience helping others and the comment above it about Collins noting all the actual evidence re black patients’ health concerns often being treated dismissively in medical settings as excellent commentary that I agree with 100%. Thank you for your service! 🫡

What wasn’t Dr. Collins on last night’s episode again? Are the writers biased against strong, black women?

I really like what you wrote here, and I think it is part of what makes The Pitt shine in the world of hospital shows.

Its only an hour later. Robby had told her to go home and turn her phone off. So she did.

I figured that was just more of throwing protocol out the window in a crisis situation and trying to reassure patients they are getting adequate care.
