On Sexism in Healthcare, the Entertainment Industry, and The Pitt

“'The [hospital] system feels like it’s 15, 20 years behind other industries,' says Sepideh Moafi ... 'There is still this older culture of a boundaryless style of work where there’s a lack of understanding and compassion,' with respect to pregnancy and childcare, for working women ...

'We have a female, half-Asian doctor on our set who consistently says that people talk to the nurse in the room if they’re a white man instead of her,' adds Supriya Ganesh ...

Nor is the series reluctant to show the other side of the dynamic, as doctors Robinavitch and Langdon lash out against their colleagues in lieu of acknowledging their own flaws ...

'The entertainment business constantly feels like a boys’ club that you cannot penetrate no matter what you do, because it’s still always going to be these older white men who are making all the decisions,' [Isa Briones] says. 'That’s why seeing the storyline with Langdon and Robby informed my performance so much, because I know this feeling of being like, Why the f— are these men fist-bumping each other? I’m also here! I’m doing my job too!'

On Showcasing Linguistic Diversity

'Language shapes who you are, how you see the world,' Moafi says... 'Language connects you to different registers in the body. The rhythms are different, and the emotional access is more immediate' ...

Briones advocated for the [Hiligaynon lullaby] scene not to have subtitles: 'It should be just this quiet moment that you don’t have to understand the language to understand, but also it’s a great moment for people who do speak it to feel that little secret joy' ...

[Ganesh] chose to infuse her own heritage into the character, who uses Tamil as a way to feel connected to her late father. 'She chooses to speak it with her mom, because maybe that’s the only other person she has in her life who she can speak it to,' [she] explains ...

That part of Indian American culture will be lost next season, with Ganesh officially departing at the end of Season 2.

On Supriya Mohan Being Written Off

[Ganesh] reiterates that the 'creative decision' to write Mohan off was made by executive producers Gemmill, Wyle, and John Wells: 'They work with such intention on the show and make all the choices that they make for that reason, so I think it’s better to ask them for answers.'

'It’s been so great just getting all the love from the fans. I feel sad for them, too, that they won’t get to see this character.'

like come on. she lacks trust towards her colleagues because her dad died from medical neglect and racism, and now she is overly cautious and does her best to prevent any mistakes even if that goal is futile and impossible. she wants to be the perfect doctor and has an HR manual in her head but also can't help it when her feelings take control when she has to treat cases that she feels specifically emotionally connected to. she's kind to students and encourages them to believe in themselves, but when they make a misstep she's quick to correct them, even if that can be blunt. she has the best patient satisfaction scores, but if her plan isn't taken seriously she defends herself and can stay rigid in her standpoint. she's data driven, detail oriented and wants what's best, but has a hard time accepting non conventional ways to treat patients outside of protocol. if she relates to a patient she goes above and beyond, but can't distance herself from them when something out of her control happens. she's dedicated and driven, working till she drops, but her lack of social life and friends has caused her to be closed off and refuse to accept any help. she has a full future plan worked out in great detail but has a literal panic attack when it blows up in her face and she realises she doesn't have a plan b. she can admit her mistakes, but they make her spiral so much that she immediately thinks she doesn't deserve her place in the ED. she wants to do everything she can to help people, but becomes her own obstacle in order to do so.
