    I watched ER decades ago. I think the amount of personal dramas was similar but I don’t remember if one of the main plot points of ER was totally collapsed waiting room. Maybe I’m miss-remembering it but I think in ER they were moving fast when it was needed. In The Pit it’s clearly needed but get to work a bit faster but everyone takes their time with everything.

      They move too fast on er. Everything is life or death high stakes, dead bodies are laying around in the hall, gangbangers are barging into surgery rooms to finish off their victims, doctors and nurses should be burning out left and right.

      The Pitt feels more like an actual ER where it’s just a job for the staff.

        It’s pretty fucking tragic if that’s what ER in US looks like. Which it probably does. Which is not surprising because healthcare in US is tragic in general.

          I think with any ER it must be like that. You’re doing a 12 hour shift, it’s a marathon not a sprint. Slow and steady wins the race. Other platitudes.
