After How Real 'The Pitt' Feels, I'll Never Look at Medical TV Shows the Same Way Again
The Pitt depicts a very real look at emergency medicine, and after watching it, I don't think I can go back to shows like Grey's Anatomy anymore.
Editor's Note: The following contains spoilers for The Pitt Episode 13.I've watched a lot of medical shows in my day, and they've all brought something a little different to the table. House provided me with plenty of medical mysteries (with a side of arrogant doctor), and Grey's Anatomy has offered some of the most romantic relationships shown on the small screen. Even Scrubs gave me my medical show fix while also bringing the laughs. But there's one thing that these shows have in common: they have all felt incredibly unrealistic. As someone who has had some health problems over the years, it's always driven me crazy when I see situations being depicted that would never actually occur in a real hospital.
