maybe my favorite part of the pitt is how it addresses implicit biases in medicine and society. a south asian woman doctor recognizes a black woman patient has sickle cell after she's been mistreated by the paramedics. a doctor with an autistic sister is able to help a patient on the spectrum after another doctor is dismissive. one doctor challenges another over whether she fat shamed a patient, and if that bias hindered her judgment. a doctor confronts her older, male boss about prioritizing the safety of a teenage boy who's made threatening comments to girls, rather than the girls who may be harmed. a handsome white male asshole doctor who's been a resident for four years is stealing drugs, and the young woman asshole doctor is the one who realizes it (they've both acted like jerks, but shockingly he gets more leeway from viewers). idk man it's just nice to see actual wrestling with the intersection of misogyny, racism, fatphobia, and other issues in the medical profession. also the doctors are hot

Only been watching The Pitt for a few days but Mel King is THE best autistic character ever written in a medical drama. She doesn't "make connections no one else can" or "just see things differently" or any other Savant with Special Abilities stereotypical bullshit, she's a resident physician who's exactly as intelligent and capable as any other resident physician in the same year. She hates unnecessary yelling because it's loud and annoying, not because she's completely incapable of handling conflict. She usually keeps her stimming subtle enough to hide but sometimes she can't. She loves having a furry critter to pet. She accommodates an autistic patient by lowering the lights and closing the doors because she understands the sensory nightmare of an active medical setting. She speaks in a straightforward and honest way but she isn't an overtly rude inconsiderate asshole. She misses some jokes and takes things too literally on occasion but she does have a sense of humor and she is funny. She speaks up against misinformation and parent panic about autism and other developmental disabilities. She has emotions. She looks at a video of a lava lamp on her phone to chill. Doctor Mel King you have my entire heart

please god let chatgpt die out like nfts did. With a fast and graceless fall into irrelevancy

Like to charge, reblog to cast.

Casting with all my might

had a bad low blood pressure moment last night and messily asked my partner for saltines and water before realizing i should probably ask for the Blood Pressure Medication I Need To Take. while they went to go grab it though i still had water and crackers so in a daze i took a swig of water but didnt swallow and then tried to cram 2 saltines in my mouth. full of water. in bed. with mouth full of water

Oh My God Damn

actually people should address this in fanfic more because “i know we could half-ass it, but i would never fake mistreat my fake husband, how dare you” is absolutely delightful
