Real-Life Doctors React: HBO's The Pitt Season 2

Описание: Between two doctor jobs and 3 kids, we don't normally get a ton of TV time. But the buzz around HBO’s The Pitt (especially Baby Jane Doe!) was too loud to ignore! In today’s video, we’re stepping out of our usual education-focused deep dives to react to The Pitt Season 2, Episodes 1-3, and see if Hollywood is finally getting the medical world right. Spoiler: they are...kind of!

From ER protocols to patient interactions, we’re breaking down the science behind the scenes. We're an ObGyn and a Pediatrician, but we still have some insights and reactions to this emergency department-based show. We’ll be pointing out the confusing moments that made us cringe and the moments that actually impressed us with their realism!

In this video, we discuss:

🤔 Would all this actually happen in an emergency department?
👶🏼 What would actually happen to the famous Baby Jane Doe?
🩺 The real science behind the fictional plots
