I'm watching Six of Crows videos on YouTube and thinking about my long ago headcanon of Jordie being alive, unbeknownst to Kaz of course, and the reason why he survived the plague was because he was actually a grisha healer and his powers hadn't manifested yet due to the conditions that he and Kaz were living in. And Jordie wasn't actually sick with the plague, he had inadvertantly drawn the plague into his own body, which is why Kaz survives.

The strongest theme of The Pitt for me is how nothing is how the public expects it. You think you know how unhoused people look like? No, he can be a fourth year med student doing his best. CSA survivor with a best friend who committed suicide? she's the meanest R1 who is not letting injustice slide and gets so excited about every procedure. The addict and the woman going through a miscarriage are the most competent senior residents you've ever seen. The attending saving the day at the last minute is an amputee.
