Finally, a Medical Drama That Gets It Right

Wall Street Journal - “The Pitt” is a rare type of hospital drama—one that gets it right, according to real-life medical workers. In hospital corridors and online forums, front-line medical workers are comparing notes on the new Max series, set in the emergency department of a fictional Pittsburgh hospital during a one-day shift that spans the entire 15-episode season. They’re dissecting the show’s take on their reality, from defibrillation protocols to the vending machine that dispenses fresh scrubs to a med student doused with bodily fluids. Emergency Nurse and ENA staff, Monica Escalante-Kolbuk shares her thoughts.
