THE PITT took my breath away for the fifteenth time. I did not want to face the end of that long, harrowing shift at the Pittsburgh Emergency Trauma Center. I could have stayed nestled deep within the confines of those walls and among the caring warmth of doctors and nurses who work daily, doing their best to save lives. It was a privilege and a gift.
THE PITT did not wrap every patient’s story up with a pretty bow. Life is not like that. This show strives to stay within the reality of the medical world. It does not sugar-coat any of the highs and lows. It creates shining moments to witness the gutsy and glorious battles the medical profession faces. It shares the weight of grief and the celebration of life. Humans are just doing the best they can under unimaginable conditions. Bravo to the writers and the actors. It was all so crystal clear.
Noah Wylie is brilliant in his portrayal of Dr. Robbie. HOUR 15 showcased his vast, stellar acting abilities. Tears were always filling my eyes as I watched him struggle and cope. Just give him the Emmy now. He should not have to wait.
Dana (Katherine LaNasa) was amazing as well. I was mesmerized by the strength and honesty of her performance. She deserves an Emmy as well. Outstanding work as an actress.
THE PITT bookended audiences. Smart, clever, and creative. It gave viewers some heartfelt words when dealing with a horrendous act. It helped us to hold our heads high even when we find ourselves on either side of the protective guard rails when contemplating humanity’s unpredictable DNA. It is important to grant grace even on the huckleberries. “Tomorrow is another day.”
THE PITT is streaming on MAX.
