It may simply be PTSD from that experience.
I 100% agree but it was a very significant reaction she had but the explanation was a throw away line that 99% of the audience wouldn’t catch and/or understand the reference. I’m wondering if that is a set up for what’s to come or going to be left as a bit of background information.
If that is it then this was very poorly written.
There is some precedent. Like the synagogue shooting. It’s probably not something that most people not in the area remember the particulars for. They didn’t muddy the waters with a lot of exposition. If an audience member wanted to know more about it they’d have to look it up. I know I had to go to Wikipedia to get the full story. But that was more than one line thrown out during a conversation. At least you could figure out what was going on in context.
During the conversation with Abbott, it’s extremely easy to miss the name Dashte Barchi. Then you would have to figure out how to spell it and know to look it up. I think it will come up again. They have certainly left Baby Jane Doe alone for awhile. I don’t think they’re going to ignore her until the end.
I thought the baby was no longer in the ED but now in pediatrics?
I don’t think so. The last thing I remember, is the doctor coming down from pediatrics and saying they wouldn’t take her. And said she was obviously over a month old and not sick enough to be admitted and suggested calling child services. If anything else was said, I don’t remember it. I remember that exchange because the actor playing the doctor is someone I’ve watched many times on dropout/college humor. I’ve never seen him outside of comedy.
Another thing I didn’t pick up when I watched it initially is the very arrogant orthopedic surgeon was played by Lou Ferrigno Jr. I know he’s had other roles like on 9-1-1 but I didn’t recognize him here.
Peds refused the admit as she has no clinical indication to be admitted.
I just checked. That was at 2PM if anyone is keeping score.
Presumably at some point, the foster system people would assume custody?
My wife and I binged Season 1 once all the episodes were available to stream. Not on purpose – we just hadn’t heard of The Pitt until then. Anyway, binging 16 episodes over a week made it a lot easier to remember all these “blink and you’ll miss it” details. Still enjoying Season 2 very much … just think we’d catch more subtle stuff if we were watching episodes back to back to back.
They can’t possibly show bureaucracy being efficient. Until someone gets her she remains Chekhov’s Baby.
I watched the first season very late, and I binged in chunks. Now. I’m watching week to week, and I much prefer binging. Especially with a show like this.
I agree. I would have waited if I could. My wife wanted to start watching after only a few episodes so now we are watching week to week.
Has DCFS sent anyone to assess yet? That part I understand is mandated to happen within just a couple of hours of report to them of the baby as abandoned (which I recall they dragged their feet on). Once that is done then placing the kid? On a holiday? I would not expect very fast as realistic.
Depends- when I was in CPS we had 24 hours to see an abandoned baby in a hospital because that baby wasn’t in any immediate danger.
While we are waiting for the next episode let me ask something that’s been nagging me.
Should all of the cast members still be there? I have a lot of nurses in my family but no doctors so I don’t know the answer.
The following may be all wrong so please help.
Robby: attending. He’s an ER specialist and that’s his full time job.
Langdon: ER resident? How long would he be there before he needs to find a job somewhere else?
Mohan: ER resident? I’m assuming with her looking for a (fellowship?) she is coming to the end of her residency.
Whittaker: did he just become a resident?
Javadi and Santos. Medical students. Shouldn’t their ER rotation be done and they should have moved on to a different department? I certainly can’t see how they can be there for season three.
Mel and McKay I’m guessing are somewhere in between Langdon and Mohan.
Realistically who shouldn’t still be there and who definitely shouldn’t make it to season 3 (depending on how long the time jump is)?
Having been gone for 10 months … I wonder if Langdon is essentially repeating whatever year of residency he was in during Season 1.
Yes Langdon is finishing his residency. Unclear to me if just getting slotted back in would have worked like that? Was the program short a resident all that time? Did it get filled otherwise with a transfer?
The residents are all residents. That now includes Whittaker.
The medical students being there still? Again? A bit odd. Sure year four you can spend more time in rotations that relate to your desired residency, but not the whole year in the ED.
There’s four years of residency before moving on:
Langdon: Fourth Year (redoing his fourth year becasue of the drug diversion)
Mohan: Fourth Year
Mckay: Third Year
Mel: Third Year
Santos: Second Year
Whittaker: First Year
Javadi: Fourth year medical student, on her second rotation at the ER
Ogilvie and Joy: Fourth year medical students, on their first rotation at the ER
I don’t think they’ve released specifics, but the time jump is supposed to be smaller in Season 3.
You’re right. I missed that one. For some reason I thought she was a med student in season one but she was a 1st year resident.
