These two powerful episodes of The Pitt take us into the heart of moral distress in medicine, from abortion care and teen consent to burnout, privatization, and the emotional cost of caring deeply in a strained system. We break down the ethical dilemmas, procedural details, and the moments of humanity that keep healthcare real. We break down the key themes, our favourite cases and discuss what's accurate and what really hit home for us. And stay tuned to the end for our personal MVPs and teaching corners for patients and healthcare workers.
We also talk about burnout in medicine, and the reality that so many healthcare workers are struggling. Please reach out for help if you are. You’re not alone.
