The Pitt - Inside the ER: A Nurse's Perspective w/SarahZ

David sits down with Sarah, a longtime Lorehounds listener and ICU nurse with over two decades of experience in trauma care at teaching hospitals. The conversation explores the authenticity of The Pitt's depiction of emergency medicine, why Ogilvy's first-day cockiness is more common than viewers might think, and how addiction storylines among healthcare professionals ring surprisingly true. Sarah explains the hierarchy of nursing roles, why teaching hospitals need far more than two attendings on duty, and how watching The Pitt provides an unexpected emotional outlet for feelings nurses must suppress during shifts.
