The Pitt
All S1 S2

S1 E137:00 P.M.

What are you doing?

Giving this guy a chance. He needs a big central line for fast transfusion.

Mohan: You can't do an IJ without an ultrasound, especially on a guy this big.

MDMateo Diaz

You'll kill him if you collapse a lung or hit the carotid.

I'm not doing an IJ. Unhook that blood line. Bring it up here. This is a supraclavicular subclavian. If you have to go in blind, this is the only safe way to access a giant vein. And hold compressions. A centimeter from the lateral head of the sternocleidomastoid, a centimeter off the clavicle, aiming at the contralateral nipple. I'm in. Okay, resume compressions. And squeeze blood.

Where'd you learn that?

"EM: RAP" podcast. We'll be ready for a second unit in under a minute. Boom.

What are you doing?

Prepping for REBOA.

Are you crazy? Did Abbot approve this?

He said, do what you have to do. Attendings are all tied up. If I can blow up a balloon in the aorta, it'll stop the bleeding.

It'll cut off the blood supply to half her body.

I'll only go in a few inches, zone three, below the kidneys, until she gets up to the OR. Glove up, Huckleberry.

Okay, you're gonna need an ultrasound, X-ray.

Not today.

Have you done this before?

It's a central line. I just need to hit the femoral artery like that. Piece of cake. All right, guidewire, then introducer sheath.

S1 E148:00 P.M.

What was that you were reciting?

It's called the Shema prayer. It's a declaration of faith in God. I lived with my grandmother when I was little, and she and I used to recite it every morning.

"Even youths grow tired and weary, "and young men stumble and fall. "But those who hold hope in the Lord "will renew their strength and soar on wings like eagles." It's Isaiah 40. I was an undergrad theology major.

Okay, nipples to navel is no man's land. If he got shot while exhaling, the bullet possibly passed below the diaphragm.

S1 E159:00 P.M.

WDr. Walsh

Once I'm through the fascia, you're gonna sweep a finger around the bladder, open up the space of Retzius.

Named after Anders Retzius, 19th-century Swedish professor of anatomy.

Deaver retractor.

WDr. Walsh

Named for John Blair Deaver, Philadelphia surgeon who revolutionized abdominal surgery in the early 1900s.

I'm surrounded by med nerds.

WDr. Walsh

I went to med school at Penn. I walked by his portrait every day. Dude did, like, 100,000 surgeries.

I know Krav Maga.

Cool. I don't know who that is, but he sounds very protective of you.

The chances of this working are diminishing by the second. I'm just fucking with you, Whitaker. You're such a Huckleberry.

S2 E17:00 A.M.

One of the things we like to do here, when we have the time, is to take a moment of silence when we lose a patient to respect their humanity. He was someone's son, perhaps a father himself, a brother or friend. Oh, make sure your phones are on silent.

S2 E28:00 A.M.

AHAl-Hashimi

This should be done in the O.R.

GGarcia

I am the O.R.!

S2 E71:00 P.M.

[after Abbot comes in with a wounded SWAT officer he field-intubated and sees him off]

AHAl-Hashimi

SWAT? Really?

I suck at golf.

AHAl-Hashimi

You spend time in the Middle East?

More than I would have liked.

AHAl-Hashimi

I worked in Kabul with Médecins Sans Frontières, and in 2020 at the maternity hospital. I met the most incredible, bravest doctors there.

Dashte Barchi. Tragedy. [sighs] We should grab a beer sometime. Share war stories.

AHAl-Hashimi

I'd like that. [walks out, leaving Abbot and Robby]

[to Robby] She seems cool.

S2 E148:00 P.M.

[Abbot handles an incoming patient who's been stabbed in the chest with an American flag]

Sir! We are gonna get you more pain meds, but you need to shut your fuckin' mouth.

DDuke

I can see why you liked restoring this bike. You're a fixer. I fix bikes, but you fix people. That's pretty damn impressive, man.

Some people can't be fixed.

DDuke

Look, I'm-- I've done plenty of things I'm not proud of.

Yeah, me too.

DDuke

No, bad things. Hurt people on purpose, hurt myself. And I did my time, but that doesn't wash away the regret. I... wish I'd done things differently. I think about it every day.

You know, they say that it's never too late to change.

DDuke

Some things can't be changed, like death. Death can't be changed.

Hey, I know the surgery is scary--

DDuke

I'm not talking about me.

Yeah, I don't know if I wanna be here anymore.

DDuke

I don't know how you stand 12 minutes in there, let alone 12 hours, 20 years.

No. That's the only place I can be. I have purpose in there. I can be distracted in there. I don't know that I wanna be…anywhere anymore.

DDuke

So what's the plan?

Ride.

DDuke

Toward what?

I don't know.

DDuke

Away from what?

Everything.

DDuke

Well, that's not riding. That's running. Is that your final lesson for these kids?

S2 E159:00 P.M.

[Abbot gives his night shift a pep talk]

We are the Night Crawlers! We deal with the weirdest and the wildest because…

NSNight Shift

We are the weirdest and the wildest of them all!

That is right, and tonight they are really gonna be crawling. Now go get some!

NSNight Shift

HOOAH!

[Santos snaps out of half-sleep nearby]

You know who I saw in rehab? I saw a bunch of guys just like you. The only difference is, they've accepted that they need help. I think you're afraid to admit the mighty Dr. Robinavitch isn't perfect.

I never claimed to be perfect.

No, but you expect it of yourself and it's not realistic, man. How can any of us live up to your standards if you can't even do it? You need help, Robby. You need help.
