Reminder that the retard had over 100k of medical debt so this was obviously not his first rodeo with an attack. Yeah his insulin situation was fucked but I'd put money down he did absolutely nothing to fix his diet.

Triedwatching it and couldnt get past the moralizing. Went and watched ER instead because they did the difficult question stories much better.

Let's be honest, we all know that the only reason Robby uncharacteristically blabbed to the Persian lady that Langdon stole drugs from them is so when Santos rats him out in the next episode she's covered because the hospital was already aware of it.

They have said they didn't pay for it and were not aware it was going to be featured
Again, as I said before (without PLing) products are using used on the show without manufacturers being aware. It is likely whoever is consulting for the show are telling them what to use and trying to make it seem authentic, which likely comes off as inauthentic to some.
In the last episode they mentioned Aerogen like 3 times but decided against it as a therapy and never used it.

I tried watching it a year ago and got about halfway through the first episode. I'll watch anything, but this is way too in your face with the lefty idiocy and the dialogue seemed awful. Maybe cause I've worked in a hospital, but humans don't talk like anybody on this.
The Pitt seems like someone wanted to remake Chicago Med but with a better lighting budget and way more gay shit.

At least Chicago Med has Oliver Platt, and the woke shit is less obnoxiously in your face; apparently, Redditors even bitch about the lack of gays:
That show (which I only watch when visiting my granny, who I swear watches nothing but those Dick Wolf shows and NCIS reruns) even has the same school shooter plotline in the first season and a mass shooter in the park a season or two later.

No chance of that. You generally can't use a product on a show without permission from the company. This is why no villains ever use Apple products especially Apple branded I-phones. Apple won't allow it. The Pitt has their production team work with medical tech supply companies to get free clothing and tools for the show. This is how they afford the costumes and hospital gear without needing to pay for it. It gets supplied for free by manufacturers.
Butterfly Network gave HBO a bunch of expensive products for free but only if they had control over the product being used and ability to veto it being in a negative storyline. They had an employee even on site to show them how to operate it. Their own VP of marketing, Jennifer Huang, was literally consulting them on the storyline it would be used in and had to sign a deal to not spoil the plot publicly. Of course the manufacturer was aware their product would be on The Pitt as they were the ones who sent HBO the actual product.

Just to be clear type 1 diabetes IS NOT RELATED to your diet. Type 2 is. But yeah all those families seem retarded to me it's really really not convincing that I should feel sorry for any patient. They should be more convincing.
I need a medfag to explain this shit to me, but seriously I'm not understanding this did Langdon seriously do something so horrendous? Also when other doctors make some medical mistakes such as with this triple A disease, Robby isn't mad. Your patient died, because you made 1st day interns examine him, and they didn't notice the patient needed an urgent surgery? Whatever, it happens, who cares, it's the fault of the system breakdown not you.
The worst part is that this show is really well done and if it wasn't so left winged it'd be great.

Fuckups due to inexperienced/over-tasked doctors missing something is a pretty different scenario from someone in a supervisory capacity getting intentionally inebriated while on the clock. Him doing it to mitigate withdrawal instead of just getting loaded for kicks doesn't make it better, in many ways it makes it worse, because that's an act of deliberately concealing his addiction instead of taking recommended, well-known steps to address it. Not uncommon behavior for addicts (believe me, I know), but still unacceptable. The path Langdon was walking, it was a matter of when, not if, he killed somebody making a clearly poor treatment call and got found out, exposing the hospital to massive legal liability and costing him, his peers, and his employer professional reputation and career prospects, to say nothing of causing at least one, perhaps multiple patients, their lives.
Santos is being cunty about it now because she has the emotional maturity of a tween with monumental daddy issues, but she was right to rat him out to Robby. And Robby, being a good leader, woke Langdon the fuck up and handed him a lifeline to get clean, if only to save his job. But Langdon had the audacity to be responsive to that and seems to genuinely be working his recovery, which to a gigabitch like Santos means he's another huwhite male getting away with it instead of someone learning their own lesson, so she won't settle until he hits a rock bottom she deems acceptable. And to say Robby has trust issues is an understatement, so he's just avoiding Langdon and doesn't want to have to risk trusting him again going forward. There are reasons besides plot contrivance Robby's little suicide road trip was supposed to kick off before Langdon got back.

okay but he wasn't truly inebriated and he rehabilited himself. they were right to be mad at him last season, but now he's better
Also it's kinda Robby's hipocrisy imo, because he hasn't treated his PTSD for 5 years straight and he gets random flashbacks when he's in the peds room. I could argue that Robby is actually more dangerous to patients with his flashbacks.
agreed on that why are they making so shitty characters like Santos? Firstly she annoys the indian young "prodigy" and then she wonders why she's not liked by her. She doesn't have a single scene of her being genuinely nice to somebody. She bullies Langdon, because she felt crossed by him, if he was nice to her, he'd not care that he took drugs.

Roby didn't cover it up to allow Langdon to keep his job. He wants Langdon fired or to quit on his own. He did it to protect the hospital. This is right from the dialog. Most doctors and nurses who steal from patients (like cash from their wallets) or lift medicine from the pharmacy are not getting reported publicly when they first get caught. Hospitals usually act on their own discretion to keep this crimes unreported because it can have major affects on everything.
There are cases of night nurses losing a dozen patients before hospitals finally report it to authorities. Langdon stole drugs to get high
It's obvious Roby wants to kill himself. But he doesn't want the ER to be run by Langdon who might relapse and destroy the hospital. The ending will likely be Roby forgiving Langdon and himself and then remaining with the ER. This show probably doesn't have the courage to kill a main character this early. If they did it would probably be the biggest plot twist in the last decade or two.

Ok, I'm going to powerlevel a teensy bit here and say I've been to rehab before for substance abuse issues.
A) while he has worked his recovery and has, by all visual indicators, beaten the odds with flying colors, those odds are 2/10 making it a full year without relapse at the best of times, And addicts are fucking manipulative and deceitful, they spent years rationalizing how to be that way (myself included, not making a moral character judgement here so much as behavioral analysis). Trust issues come with the territory.
B) addicts who do beat those odds out of rehab do a lot of forced self-examination and spiritual growth that they often forget to consider nobody around them has done, because they didn't manage their mental illness by abusing a controlled substance. Some of them bottle it up until they're practically screaming at everyone they work with "HEY I'M GONNA GO KILL MYSELF VIA MOTORCYCLE YOU GUYS BETTER GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER ONCE I'M GONE". Others cut themselves and are gigantic assholes to everyone around them and elevate themselves to being some kind of Universal Judge Of Moral Character who gets to enact justice on the people they pronounce guilty off of vibes. Those addicts can come off as entitled and demanding when they're upset they're not instantly being forgiven after disappearing for a few months and then coming back expecting things to be the same as before, just without the drug abuse.
Incidentally, as much as I hate Santos because I know like 5 Santoses in real life and think they're all way more fucked up than me/stole from me and still act self-righteous about it, this isn't the stuff I dislike in terms of writing. It's where it shines. It's super realistic and super compelling. It's the preachy "abloo-abloo my illegal ethnic hair salon doesn't make enough for medicaid whitey/da system oppressing me" "random redneck with a real issue loses his shit being stuck in line behind a million brownoids abusing the ER system for free medicare" shit that sucks.

Insane to me that Santos herself and all her fans on Reddit can't understand why "everybody still loves Langdon and they hate meeeee!!" No shit, he's fast, talented, and supportive while you're a mega cunt who bullies every nicer coworker in your path (unless you want to fuck them, e.g. Garcia), complains about being given work, bitches endlessly about your patients and excuses it all away with the most limp-dick exhausted trauma excuse. Why would anyone give a fuck about her raging against the white man GASLIGHTING her?
I even agree Langdon fucked up and she was right to report him, but she seems to not be satisfied unless he's getting ass raped in prison. This is a guy who willingly came back to help with the Pittfest fiasco knowing Robby might try to Jewish laser beam his face off if he saw him. Meanwhile we're supposed to have total sympathy for the all the spic nurses and janitors who walked off the shift and abandoned their patients because ICE was in the building for 15 minutes lmao.

Ekhem, he got at least 2 more R4s, one of them has literally made 0 mistakes apart from once yelling at her sister. Is this like a fucking kingdom like a game of thrones "you can't rule the kingdom because you're not the firstborn" or something? Yes King and McKay aren't perfect, but if McKay was listening to the charge nurse, she'd prolly do just fine.
Also Al Hashimi is just madly perfect, she can overtake too.
I might misunderstand cuz I'm just a simple foid, but it seems like we shouldn't go an extra mile for a
Wait I remembered, McKay also had drug problems. Worse, she had a home arrest xd Somehow Robby trusts her 99% apart from the fact that she did something very predictable and she helped a woman who needed an ER anyway. If they treated all addicted people the same I'd be like ok. No need to trust Langdon but Robby should just order extra check ups on him and his blood rather than being like "from now on you're worthless forever".
Yeah mate I unfortunately know some shit about mental diseases and I've met some people, who visit shrink more than their family, and yet they don't behave like Robby. Come on Abbot found a shrink and he's trying. Okay maybe he has the right to hate Langdon but he's even taking it out on the charge nurse, because she carried a vial of something she shouldn't have, even though it can be easily covered up. Yes I know mental illness is hard, but Robby is overstepping this season too much.
Yes agreed she's very realistic, there is always one bitch or one faggot that is just self-righteous never does anything right but expect premium treatment. But they should give me a viewer a satisfaction of seeing Santos beaten up by a junkie or just scolded publicly.

A show like house md where the main character is openly racist and sexist for shits and giggles to his employees really would not be possible to be created by the modern world.
They had multiple episodes discussing the fact that at the end of the day the hospital still needs to make some money to continue operating and some patients are going to need to be refused treatment and it was presented as an actual dilema.
House MD is great, but house didn't have a rival in the show, so it was purely "fuck the rules". Scrubs has both "fuck the rules" but also "You know we have rules for a reason, while they don't always work bad things happen more often than not when you ignore them."
Like in scrubs multiple times they DO lose patients due to fuckups and "I'm a bad boy who don't do no rulz." which ironically despite being monty python in a hospital, makes it more grounded than house. House always wins, scrubs don't, the result is that scrubs episodes are more nailbitting despite it being a comedy and the rulez/norulez dilema is a real dilema.
Its really hard to compare the two, because house md is sherlock holmes in a hospital where house is intentionally overpowered because that's literally the point of sherlock, while scrubs is monty python in a hospital. However both deal with actual philosophy and heavy themes in their own way in nearly every single episode which is what makes them peak tv so its hard for me to pick one over the other. At the end of the day though they do compliment one another really well and you can go from house directly to scrubs to continue experiencing peak TV. Imo scrubs should be watched after house as its a bit more subversive.
Sadly between these two prestige medical dramas have pretty much peaked. Like I seriously doubt we're gonna get anything even remotely comperable to these two ever again.
What's even the next competitor? Soap operas like grey's anatomy? Fucking F-R-I-E-N-D-S in a hospital. Every other medical drama innevitably devolves into a relationship driven slop opera set in a hospital, rather than a hospital driven show about how the ethics of medicine affect the people who practice it.
Scrubs was shockingly realistic and down to earth. The medical layer was completely seperate from the comedy layer which was essentially an abstracted exaggeration of the real events all happenining in the main character's head even outside the daydreams.

I tried to watch The Good Doctor and about half the first episode was relationship drama. Wouldn't be surprised if the reason previous shows did better was that they were made for both men and women, while modern shows are made entirely for the lowest denominator of women
Also House did have a few failures in the show like the radiation black son. It was also smart enough in those cases to point out House cares more about discovering the mystery than whether it helps the patient.

The rabies woman was also a failure, but most of the time its not really presented as a failure of house, more just catastrophic bad luck/not finding the solution fast enough and you can argue if house was allowed to run even more rampant he'd have found the solution faster and saved the patients. In house its almost always the fault in of the system, in scrubs its the fault of both the system and the doctors.
Scrubs has considerably higher emotional highs and lows than house does for this reason.
Case in point, compare any episode of house to the scrubs episode where
three people need organ transplants, two of them are about to die. They have a woman who just died of an overdose and cox insists on bypassing procedure, harvesting her and doing the transplants as soon as possible. It all goes well until it turns out the woman didn't die of an overdose, she died of rabbies, which they would have known if they tested, but its so rare that cox thought there was no way it was rabbies.
Two people die from the transplants and cox almost has a breakdown from the guilt, JD tries to lift his mood and almost succeeds, but then on cue Cox's pager beeps and the third person they did the transplant to also dies. Catch being, the third guy could have waited a few more months for a new kidney, it wasn't an emergency, and if cox hadn't rushed it he'd still be alive, the episode ends with cox having a silent breakdown and leaving the hospital mid shift after essentially killing 3 people due to negligence brought on by obsession.
House doesn't have blood on his hands, Cox does.

Tbh, after rewatching this I honestly think scrubs wins out over house for best medical drama. And in general I don't think I've ever seen another show mix comedy with drama so well.

I agree. She's a realistic and interesting character. I assume what the writers were going for is that she was messed up by CSA and her friend killing herself because of it. Probably has some sort of survivor's guilt where she wishes she would have said something, so that's why she snitches on Langdon immediately.
Compared to like Javadi and Mohan who could've just been dropped for season two and nothing would change. Mel's pretty bad too since the writers seem afraid to poke at why autism spectrum disorder might make you a bad fit for emergency medicine.
