A Real-Life ER Doctor Examines The Pitt
“If things were like this every day, the burnout would be hard to overcome.”
Noah Wyle anchors the show as Dr. Michael “Robby” Robinovich, the attending physician who leads the department’s efforts to treat the endless swirl of patients barreling through the door. Visceral, grisly, and exceedingly stressful, The Pitt draws a lot of its stickiness from its real-time structure: Taking a page out of 24, the 15-episode season tracks the goings-on of one entire 15-hour shift. That format lends a greater sense of realism to the show, which has apparently been so effective that it’s driven some chatter online (and in theVulture comments), often from voices within the medical community praising the series’ verisimilitude.
