‘The Pitt’ Season 2 Episode 2 Recap: Gut Check
Once Dr. Al-Hashimi snaps out of her mystery baby reverie, leaving Dr. Mohan’s WTF? face in the dust, she returns to her main mission in the ED. Sure, mentorship and teaching – the tone the incoming senior attending takes with the med students continues to be professional, but expectant in a way Dr. Robby’s isn’t – but also time management and technological maintenance. Last time we heard about the “patient passports,” and here in Season 2 Episode 2 of The Pitt (“8:00AM”), Al-Hashimi’s showing off an app that uses generative AI to reduce time spent on staff charting. OK, cool, that has always been a burden. But then there are creative solves and individual investment, the main drivers of Robby’s ethos. This is emerging as the principal point of friction between two very driven, very different senior physicians. In the moving space of two minutes on the floor, both Santos and Mckay’s report-ins on patients are a mix of astute treatment options and the intangibles Robby encourages. Like this, from Cassie: “58-year-old guy, scaphoid fracture, Epistaxis, non-focal neuro…but my gut is telling me something’s not right.”
Her gut? The two-headed attendings share a glance loaded with their philosophically opposed methodology, and now it’s McKay’s turn for a WTF? look.
