r/ThePitt

The Pittsburgh Pirates are giving away a Dr. Robby bobble head.

All I see is her dad’s face and it makes me angry hahaha

Isa Briones does a good impression of Dana Evans.

I have great appreciation for nurses as I have frequent visits to hospitals for tests and have been seriously ill with pneumonia a couple times.

I’ve always had that one nurse that just clicks and you feel utter trust and can rely on to make you better.

I always enjoy nurse Dana scenes, the actress does a brilliant job of showing how important nurses are and how they really are the backbone of healthcare. The Pitt is such a great show

does anyone else see it or am I crazy?

A friend made custom shirts for the wife and I. We debuted them at a music fest last weekend and had a good laugh with a lot of fellow fans out there.

Saw Becky Shaw yesterday. Absolutely phenomenal play, and Patrick was fantastic. As soon as the show ended he came outside to greet everyone who was waiting for him. Signed everything, talked to people, and was just a genuine, humble human being to everyone who was there. My gf got a birthday autograph! Go watch this play if you can, I fully recommend it.

Sincerely interested in people's POV here. It feels like this show is incredibly sympathetic to men, but less interested in humanizing the women or having their stories/perspectives heard — especially women of color. Dr. Mel King being the only exception. And as much as I love Dr. Mel King, it makes me sad that the portrayal of autism in media is almost always a cis white women who's quirky.

Dr. Robby was practically punishing Dr. McKay for her fear of the teen incel boy. He was so nasty to Dr. Mohan, for having empathetic qualities we see celebrated in Dr. King. His decisions around reporting child abuse were not only factually incorrect (as many doctors and social workers said, he absolutely should have reported it), he was nasty about it. It's as if he doesn't conceive of the idea of women having hands-on experience with violence. He is abrasively mean to Dr. Gloria Underwood. I felt he was often misogynistic to Dr. Collins as well, but at least she had a fully-fleshed out and beautiful story with her miscarriage and abortion.

I thought this show was about a flawed doctor with misogyny as one of those flaws, but many don't seem to agree. Perhaps its unintentional?

And when we look at the storylines — which characters get redemption, which flaws deserve empathy, which characters do we care enough to renew every season, which are sidelined — it's telling that no white men have been "cycled out." Like, why is Kiarra replaced with a white man for season 2? Why are the women of color always "off for the day", but not Whittaker or Langon? It seems like there's a masculinity problem here. I think it's very possibly unconscious bias on behalf of the showrunners, but that doens't mean it's not present.

These two ACEOs are of Whitaker from season 1 (top left) and 2 (bottom right)

Between this endeavor and most of the art I've seen of Whitaker, I feel like he's very much like Zendaya and nearly impossible to portray accurately 😭
