I liked how they didn’t save the Pitt Fest fukkery for the last two episodes, like most other shows would. Probably would’ve gotten a cliffhanger, too.

Crazily enough, the aftermath was probably the most on-edge I ever felt while watching the show. Seeing Robby and my girl Mohan on the verge of fully crashing out had me thinking “Well, if these two characters who are usually in control are losing it…we’re really fukked”.

The writers were really good about the terminology and procedures.

I was wondering if they were going to fukk up the 14g long when the pneumothorax happened, but they got it right.

They even zoomed in to show him inserting at the 2nd intercostal space, mid-clavicular.

I thought this was going to be an over the top, overdramatized, soap opera about a burnout. It’s obviously TV but both patient and staff personalities have been right on the money lol. It’s been an entertaining watch so far. I’m looking forward to finishing it.

I’m scared Collins isn’t coming back. She was one of my favorite characters…

Yea. I can say if it's not the best medical drama I have seen. It's comfortably in the top 3.

This is the best medical “drama” I’ve ever seen. I was a line medic in Khost, Afghanistan. most of the trauma I dealt with was on my own, packing, and getting ready to send off. Most were already dead or dying.

I helped out with MassCals every now and then. We caught US wounded and KIA, Afghan soldiers and Police, other locals including whole families blasted to shyt, even an entire blown up busload and market place full of people.

I really felt that mass shooting shyt, deep. Even down to Robby going way too far for an expectant, especially feeling like the flow of patients were never going to end. Medical workers having to donate blood on the spot, having to make shyt up on the fly. Getting mad at yourself because you still allow yourself to have a little hope, only for it to be crushed again and again.

It’s hard to even call this a medical drama. “Medical drama” makes it sound so much more trivial than what it is. I could physically feel the last few episodes, and I hate to say it, but my eyes teared up a little when the MassCal ended and it all went back to normal.

This was the “Saving Private Ryan”, “Zero Dark 30”, “Band of Brothers”, “The Pacific” of “Medical Dramas; all of those, yet more realistic than any of them combined. Entertainment wise it was “The Wire” of medical dramas.
