dr john shen clocking in early as attending (after having been one for only 3 months) on this fucky ass day because there's an MCI and then once things start slowing down a kid comes in with measles and his parents are being unreasonable and while he deals with that he has to deal with those two old white men refusing to end their damn shifts and one of the day shift residents almost gets fucking arrested and there's an 18-year-old in custody in one of the rooms who will likely stay there all night with his sad mum and the day shift attending just showed a patient's father the fucking make-shift morgue and then right when they're about to close trauma a man's pelvic gets crushed and he has to stand there and listen to walsh and abbot argue over what is supposed to be his patient, really, and he can see the day shift attending dissociate for ten solid minutes and no one's even told him there are two rats still loose in his damn department and abbot calls him a nerd

meeting new characters on the pitt is always fucking phenomenal because it's always 'wait who's this now' and then not even five minutes later 'oh it's my best friend dr john shen, night shift attending who was a resident only three months ago and slurps on his iced something while waiting for mass shooting victims in the ambulance bay, of course, i get it'

I don’t think we give Robby enough credit for how goofy he is. When he’s not having a PTSD induced breakdown and contemplating his worth he is sneaking around DODGING and WEAVING Gloria, stirring up the nurses to distract her and performing a little dance to stop Collins from looking at the rats. That’s is SILLY MAN

ok but whitaker being unhoused puts so many things into perspective. when he asks kiara if they get a lot of homeless around here and it seems like he’s just being curious but really he’s trying to suss out whether he’s an outlier or not. how quickly he backs down and removes all the PPE shit he was wearing when he’s talking to mr. krakozhia, and how quickly he volunteers for the street team. the way he offers to PERSONALLY bring krakozhia his meds every month. he’s carrying around this big secret and it’s clear he feels a level of shame/embarrassment about it. he doesn’t even come out and say he’s unhoused when santos finds and confronts him. but he goes in for his first day of ED rotation and quickly learns just how many resources are out there for people in his same situation. and instead of asking for help for himself he decides to do as much as possible to help OTHERS. all while getting sprayed with piss and blood and catching rats. who is doing it like him
