'The Pitt' Gives Us a First-Hand Look at One of the Silent Killers in a Hospital
After the mass shooting at Pittfest, we get a look at the deadly and scary after effect of surviving the trauma of this mass casualty.
There are so many tragic incidents that occur in a hospital emergency room every single day. When people find themselves in an ER, it's often one of the worst days of their lives. Individuals are going through their own catastrophic health events, or they're there with a loved one who is. Amidst this trauma, it can be hard to remember that the staff that make up that hospital are every bit as affected by what they see as we are. In fact, many doctors and nurses experience mental health issues because of what they witness on the job, and some even resort to being suicidal. This silent killer is an issue that mostly goes unexplored in our society — that is, until Max's hit series, The Pitt, covered it in detail in its first season.
