[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There have been (unsurprisingly) many echoes of ER on The Pitt, so I sincerely hope that they don’t give poor Emma the “Lucy Knight” treatment. [/quote]

I can't remember Lucy Knight but I have been rewatching the first couple seasons of ER and one "echo" that recently jumped out at me (because I watched the episodes from each show where it was mentioned near in time to each other) is that both shows have an Asian-American female medical student who reveals she has a photographic memory at an opportune time. It's such a specific detail that it's really wild that they both have it.

Another recent echo was that ER had a nurse trying to quit smoking by loading up on nicotine gum and really struggling, similar to Gloria this season needing strong nicotine gum to deal with her cravings.

The shows are actually pretty different in scope and feel, especially because of the timelines -- it was common for ER to weeks or even months between consecutive episodes so they could jump from summer to winter in a handful of episodes. This influences everything else -- patients rarely cross over between episodes, the doctor's personal lives can change drastically over the course of the season, and the younger doctors are progressing in their careers much more swiftly as you watch the show. But it's funny to see this small similarities that sometimes feel like intentional reference points because they are so specific.[/quote]
