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.

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.

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.

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! 🫡

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.

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.
