Spoilers The Pitt on Max

Right. The Pitt is a traditional TV production, the type that used to be good for 23 episodes a year, where most streaming TV 'shows' these days are just long feature films broken into 7 or 8 parts and like a film take 2-3 years to produce.

I'd guess that with the success of the Pitt we may start to see more of the tradiditonal TV production type shows popping up on streaming sites over the next few years.
 


My wife mostly binged this and loved it. She told me about a character she loved who reminded her a lot of me, and I was like "yeah right" because I've never really felt represented by a fictional character before.

Anyway I am making my way very slowly through the season (I think I might be partway through episode 5 or 6 currently?) and holy crap she was not wrong, I feel like I can accurately predict everything Dr. King is going to do or how they will react because I would do or react the exact same way, it's honestly eerie.

Oh and also show good

So, I'm coping this from reddit and you can choose to believe it or not. Episode 7 spoilers

fxryker-I’m friends with and used to work with a physician who is known for specializing in helping autistic patients. I myself am also autistic, and worked as an EMT and ED tech before medical school

Also before medical school I volunteered with their clinic and they would ask me about my experience working with autistic patients. A couple years later I just met up with them because they were my interviewer for a research study about autism that I joined, and they told me that they consulted for “this show called The Pitt, have you heard of it?” and instantly I was like “yeah my fiancée and I binged the whole thing!”

They then said “remember in episode 7 when Dr. King treated the autistic patient?” and that’s when I started putting two-and-two together:

When my fiancée and I watched that scene, about a non-pharmacological approach to patient care that involved an autistic physician using their lived experiences to treat another autistic patient, I literally turned to her and said “that’s crazy because I would do the same exact thing”

Well, it turns out, my friend used my story when consulting for the show! Obviously you’ll have to take my word for it because it wouldn’t be appropriate to share email chains, but I promise I wouldn’t make this up

Anyway, I just thought y’all would find that neat, I’m very happy such a large audience was able to truly experience what it’s like when autistic medical providers are able to help autistic patients :)
