"The Pitt" vs Reality: Care, Costs, And Burnout
About this episode
We unpack what "The Pitt" gets right about ER reality, where AI helps and where it fails, how cybersecurity outages ripple through care, and why insulin costs still push patients into crisis. We close with practical ways to protect purpose and fight moral injury.
