Recap of “The Pitt”, episode 14: “8:00 pm”

Wow, I hate telling you this, friends, but we are on the third week to sip the nightmarish fuel that is The PittStory of mass mass shooting. He remains haunting and emotionally impactful even if chaos calm down. Admittedly, this moment when a Dana in tears comforts Jake on the loss of her girlfriend absolutely made me. I know that in my heart, a Dana, the hug of the charge nurse would be healed! Alas, very little time ago on this emission for healing or treatment, because in a real Pitt Move, just like the trauma of Pitt Fest ends an ambulance stops with another story to horrify us: a possible measles epidemic thanks to anti-Vaxxers! This change will break us all!

Hey, speaking of mental breakdowns, “8:00 pm” begins with Dr. Robby still in a fetal position, now reciting Shema prayer again and again in the pediatric room that has become morgue. Everyone needs him and no one can find him. It is Whitaker who falls first, and the medical student turns out to be a great person to help Robby get out of it. When I think of the proximity that we came to Santos being the one who entered this room first, I shiver. The man may never have recovered. And although Whitaker is not particularly comforting, comfort is not exactly what Robby needs right now – it must be reminded that he has a job to do. Whitaker sits with him at the beginning, but then rises and hands his hand. He needs Robby to get up, they all do it, otherwise they are “fucked” there. He does not force him to get out of the room once he is lifted, instead of the cover for which he came and to leave with a quick but effective: “I will see you there, captain.” A last reminder that they need Robby to guide them through it.

And it works! Robby takes a breathing and backs down on the ground. His first business order? A quick survey of what’s going on, then telling everyone that they are doing a great job. I really love this man. Later in the episode, he finds that Dr. King finally shouted after bringing together the woman suffering from SSPT, Trish, with his daughter Morgan, and when Robby finds her, he tells her that she should never apologize for having empathy. He tells her that she was “brilliant” in the middle of chaos. “I’m really happy that you are with us, Dr. King.” And now I am the one in a fetal position; It is in a very complete circle.

None of this means that Robby is quite good. He’s not going at all. He, like most people working in the hospital, will probably not be well for a while after that, and these cracks go through this episode. You know, as when Robby finally rests Gloria after having held a large part of his anger for most of his quarter of work. It seems that the line is Gloria who takes Robby to the task for having allowed unpatved blood donations and not follow David’s killing list. “Jesus Christ, Gloria”, he blows in the middle of the emergency. They try to work here; They try to save as many people as possible. “Return to your micro-mangerial ivory tower and let us go back to work!” He shouts. He is not mistaken and you would think that Gloria could read the play stained with blood now, but the explosion is a dead gift, especially for those who are closest to her like Dana and Abbott, that Robby is effiled.

There are other moments outside characteristics for our intrepid leader. Gloria informs everyone that the shooter was “neutralized” – the SWAT team found it near the festival field with a self -inflicted head shot – and they should not receive additional victims. “There are no adequate words for what you have done here,” she said, thanking them all. This, of course, means that they must now face David Saunders, who is still handcuffed and bleed in the head in a locked patient room. “I told you he didn’t do it,” said Robby to McKay, which is honestly, quite crazy. Worse still? When he tells her that he wanted to manage all of this in a certain way and she pushed. “You made this fucking waste, you will have to repair it.” McKay was prudent and that could very easily have gone in the other direction – how would Robby feel? It seems that “better than more sorry” is a good game in this situation. Anyway, Robby eliminates a lot of his emotions on McKay.

One thing that Robby is right: to repair this situation with David will not be easy. The child is angry and frightened and everything he wants is to see his mother. He certainly does not want to listen to McKay tell him that he needs the help of a professional. When Theresa enters the room, she talks to him about the petition and that she will place him in grip. He doesn’t take it well. And yet, I’m still in the McKay team here. Unfortunately for her, this is not the only drama in progress with which she is dealing before the final next week: two cops arise to stop her for falsifying her ankle monitor. She, Abbott and Dana try to explain why she had to unravel a hole, but the episode ends with McKay put in wrists.

McKay and David are not the only two to have scenarios that will have to be wrapped in the next hour. There is also, if you can believe it, the fucking measles. Just like Dr. Shen (more of him in season two, please and thank you) declares the calm sorting area, an ambulance appears with a sepsis and 13 -year -old pneumonia – Flynn also has a strange rash. Her younger sister Georgia called 911 because their parents went out to the movies. Shen and King do not recognize the rash, but as soon as Robby enters the room, he knows his measles. Looking at his face when he says he calls public health because there is probably an epidemic of measles, well, you can feel exactly what he feels. Something in the sense of You have to make fun of me hereBecause honestly, you have to make fun of me here.

It gets worse! Robby and King speak with Georgia and learn that she had the same thing as Flynn about a week ago and that their family had traveled to Orlando recently. Flynn is no longer contagious, but he probably has an ADEM, or acute disseminated encephalomyelitis after the immune response. ADEM has a mortality rate of 20% and even if the patient lives, this could cause permanent brain damage.

Things get worse when the parents of Flynn and Georgia come to fly and we learn that their mother, in particular, is not only anti-vacuum but anti-… Most things do the doctors? Robby wants to quickly obtain the approval of a vertebral tap to see if it is really ADEM before going ahead with a treatment, but the mother – army of “Dr Google” as Robby says – refuses to leave them. There is too many risks, she said! She does not care if the three doctors in the room assure her that it is a standard and very safe procedure. She prefers to wait and see if Flynn improves alone. This enrages Robby, who, remember, just looked at a whole bunch of people, including the teenage girlfriend of her substitution son, die unnecessarily. He sinks. He actually shouts the parents before having to withdraw physically from the room before things heated even more. Shen makes King take parents to see Georgia, but he will then check Robby. Even Mr. Iced Coffee can say that something is wrong. Robby is still having fun: “They want medical treatment but they don’t want medical advice? What are we doing?” You can feel the frustration to jump from the screen and that the anger is justified, but you should still ask if Robby can ever brake it on this change. He has an hour to try.

• I am an aspirant for the “Er docs against surgeons” rivalry of the old school, and we have a good taste here when the last victim of the shooting arrives – a naval corpse named Brian who is Whitney’s brother, whom we met when Kiara and Lupe informed her that her husband was dead. Brian, who spent hours trying to help the victims on the spot, even if he was shot in the thigh, has an intracardiac air embolism that blocks blood flow to his lungs. Abbott guides Mohan through a risky procedure while chatting with Dr. Walsh, who wants to follow the protocol and bring Brian to a hyperbaric room. The Walsh way would cost Brian as the precious time he does not have. Mohan achieves Abbott’s maneuver and continuous emergency / surgical rivalry!

• Another moment that made me cry a little: esme of childcare services that check Robby, asking him if she can make him eat something. The Pitt He made a duty to show that a hospital does not only take place because of his doctors and nurses, but that there is a whole team of people – office commitments, orders, guards, security – who maintains things in progress; This is another nice wink to that.

• Has Santos finally found the right adjustment with a mentor in Dr. Ellis? She seems to tolerate the whole brand of Santos the best so far, right? It also witnesses certain very annoying interactions between Santos and Langdon, which are forced to work together on another overdose of drugs possible. Things remain very tense between these two!

• McKay’s father finally arrives to bring Harrison back to the house and he played by … the real father, the horror icon and the nomine at the Oscars of Fiona Dourif, Brad Dourif. He is only there for a brief moment, but by finding Harrison with Chad, he says the line “Chadwick Harrison Ashcroft the third. A shower name for a guy from showerbag ”, and my friends are great.

• Whoa! Is Mateo somehow in Javadi? He and his dimples make her sit before having an adrenaline accident and he calls him a “rock star”. Better yet, he calls it Victoria.

• Okay, very well, I laughed when the clown called the hospital “a fucking circus”. I am an easy brand!
