The way the addiction and recovery storyline has been handled on The Pitt this season upsets me. I will start by saying I’m by no means an expert on this—I’m an entry level medical worker at an outpatient facility, where we haven’t had any issues like drug stealing—but through research and conversations with other family workers who work in medicine, I’ve found that there are still pathways for physicians who are addicts to return to medicine, even if they stole drugs. Up until this week’s episode, I was under the impression that Langdon’s drug use had been reported and handled officially—it seemed like an open secret that he had been at rehab, and given Al-Hashimi’s reaction to first meeting him, it seems like she had been briefed on the situation. Santos seems to see it as a cover-up, but the situation could have been handled officially without the entire ER being briefed.
However, after this week’s episode—Robby and Dana’s argument, and Robby and Al-Hashimi’s argument—it seems like the show is pursuing some kind of cover-up storyline. This is irritating to me—I think it would be a lot more productive to the storyline, and a lot less stigmatizing to addicts, to show that Langdon’s drug abuse (including the stealing) were reported and officially handled as part of his PHP, and instead focus his storyline on the interpersonal conflict between him, Robby, and Santos. You can still show Robby and Santos’ (completely understandable!) anger, hurt, and distrust of Langdon WITHOUT the cover-up storyline.
You can find many, many articles online detailing how PHPs work, and here’s a summary from a Reddit user and doctor describing how the program would work in the context of the show: https://www.reddit.com/r/ThePittTVShow/comments/1rw4nn1/how_physician_health_programs_actually_work/

TL;DR: The Pitt’s focus on Robby potentially covering up Langdon’s drug diversion isn’t really necessary to his, Robby’s, or Santos’ character arcs. In real life, there are plenty of ways for Langdon’s drug abuse, diversion, and return to work to be officially reported and handled.
