Ahhh, ye olde “Don’t worry, I have a photographic memory” trope to completely mitigate a problem.

I was a bit disappointed by this episode. They created a problem to build drama, but immediately undercut much of the problem in a way that didn’t feel organic, which has been a strength of the show so far.

well it was more of chekhov's gun getting fired, joy mentioned a few episodes back that she has a photographic memory.

I get it, it still feels like a cop-out to me. What elevates The Pitt for me is the intensity and the feeling of realism, and I felt that undermined it.

I think they still did PLENTY to show how the loss of technology is reeking havoc with teh hospital....and we have just gotten started, I don't think this is a problem that is going away anytime soon.

They used it as a moment to let Joy shine. But they coudl have just as easily had Whitaker's photo been fine and then they just transcribe it that way....same process but less character moment.

"This is how we rolled when I was a resident."
"Was that in the 1900s?"
"Yeah, when charts were written by candlelight."
