I’m not going to defend Robby’s behavior towards Samira because it was wrong and cruel and deeply, deeply unprofessional. But I also find the reactions to it incredibly ironic. The Pitt is at its core about extreme burnout in the healthcare field, particularly amongst emergency medicine personnel, and how that ripples out and affects absolutely everyone around them—their colleagues, their relationships, the entire community. Over and over again, the Pitt asks of its audience: even in the face of extreme and sometimes unforgivable behavior, can you find the same empathy that is constantly and endlessly demanded of our healthcare providers? And for so many it seems like the answer to that question is a definitive, categorical no. Which funnily enough, is exactly the point the show is trying to make.

Rewatching S2 of the Pitt for the first time since it aired and I don't think I realized how much Robby's barriers and resolve deteriorate as the season goes on. To see him making jokes and being thoughtful and caring to the med students and residents in comparison with the way he can barely look anyone in the eye by the episode 13. And yeah he looks a little tired, but how he presents himself is so incongruent with what we know by the end of the season about what's happening inside his head. This guy who is joking with Al Hashimi about joining the softball team and asking Donahue if he slept well and checking in with Santos about a case that is a trigger for her knows that he'll likely be dead in the next 24 hours and definitely has backup plans in case riding a motorcycle helmetless through the night after a grueling shift doesn't kill him.

I think flinching is such a hit or miss reflex. Like yea a tiny bit of boiling water touched my hand but i dont think reflexivly throwing the water everywhere is a good defensive measure perhaps. might be even worse actually

I didnt realise this blew up so ive been enjoying reading other peoples suffering in the tags ty everyone <3
