The Pitt

The Pittseason 1 has wind , and it was an almost perfect serial , but one plot line with Dr. Robby seemed out of character and made me actively angry . In so many ways , Noah Wyle’sThe Pittcharacter is the perfect doctor : a bright old-timer of emergency brake medicine , compassionate , and a big mentor . But the cracks in his demeanor take off to show throughout the season , and by the timeThe Pittseason 1 finaleaired , he ’d come wholly unraveled . It could avail excuse his uncharacteristic nonperformance regarding one patient .
One of the few non - doctor storylines that hold out throughoutThe Pittseason 1 ’s episodeswas that of the troubled teenager David , whose female parent , Theresa , had discovered that he had written a list of female classmates he need to eliminate . He ’d been scramble since his father ’s end a few old age ago , and the list was the last stubble for Theresa . She was so interested about her Word ’s mental Department of State and being a potential danger that she made herself grisly to the full stop of uncontrollable emesis so that he ’d bring her to the hospital , where she could talk to the Dr. about getting David help .
Dr. Robby’s Dismissive Attitude Toward David As A Potential Shooter Was Terrible Judgment
He Was Dismissive & Negligent
That is some uttermost despair , and , combined with David ’s hit tilt , it verbalise to a potential hideous tragedy in the making . And yet , Dr. Robby not only does nothing about it , but he actively gets angry at Dr. McKay when she tries to do the right thing and intervene . His intact response to the situation seemed so out of character for the normally insightful and responsible for ER chief attendance . His certainty that David was n’t a terror butt on on arrogance , and his shortsightedness was appalling – and , to be dependable , as a woman , it was more than a small infuriating to determine Robby ’s dismissive mental attitude .
The Pitt highlights many of the problem and shortcoming of the health care industry , and these seven narration touched on literal world issues .
Besides that , as a doctor , he is legally obligated to report a possible threat to the authorities . In Pennsylvania , whereThe Pittis set , mental health or health care providers are bound by mandatory reporting , and must report the scourge to a third company when someone is a " serious threat or to vote out or seriously injure an identified or readily identifiable person or group of mass " ( viaIfWhenHow.org ) .

David ’s inclination endanger to extinguish specific distaff schoolmate is the textbook definition of something that Dr. Robby is de jure required to report to authorities , and yet , he did n’t . What ’s more , he berated Dr. McKay when she did live up to her sound obligation to warn confidence of the potential significant scourge David set . It was the awry call , time period , exposingDr . Robby ’s bias against David being a school gunman inThe Pitt .
The Pitt Season 1 Storyline With David Was Uneven
It’s Like One Conversation With Cassie McKay Never Happened
Truthfully , another grounds that the David storyline grated on me was that the way Dr. Robby responded to it was so odd . Dr. Cassie McKay ’s motivations and intentions were vindicated from the starting signal . She was drive by her own personal history of having been stalked by abusive men . While that colored her views about David , her preconception all the same still led her to do the correct thing , which was to recognize him as a serious threat and account him . Even thoughThe Pittultimately confirmed David was n’t the multitude shooter , he was still a profoundly troubled kid who need help .
The Pitt instalment 14 eventually revealed who the mass hit man at Pittfest was , and it imbued fresh meaning to the ever - vivid medical drama .
That ’s why Robby ’s flip - flopping about it was so queer and confusing . He was ab initio furious at Dr. McKay when learning she had report David to the authorities . But a later conversation made it seem as though he had interpret the error of his ways and understood where she was fare from . Dr. McKay respectfully but flat out tell her attending that he was so busy think about David ’s time to come and well - being that he did n’t stop to believe about the futures and well - being of all the daughter on David ’s list . To Robby ’s credit , he agreed and tell her that she was correct , he had n’t been opine about the girls , and that was on him .
It was like the previous conversation where he allow that he had a lot to hear from McKay had never happened , a regression in both floor and lineament development .
And yet , when the police force did show up and apprehend David when he yield to the hospital , Robby got angry at McKay all over again , accusing her of make a " mess , " and recite her it was her line of work to clean it up . It was like the previous conversation where he admitted that he had a lot to learn from McKay had never happened , a regression toward the mean in both story and character development . Granted , by the last ofThe Pittseason 1 , Robby ’s self - control and genial stability were ravel out , as shown by his lashing out and poor treatment of several situations , not just the one with David and Dr. McKay . Either way , he was negligent . He break down .
It Could Be Setting Dr. Robby Up For More Backstory In The Pitt Season 2
He Saw Himself In David
Robby ’s funny reaction to the David storyline could set up further character reveals about his backstory inThe Pittseason 2 . He hinted that the reason he did n’t want to alert the authorities was that he saw a draw of his younger ego in David , indicate that at one point , Robby had been a lost and troubled Thomas Kid himself . The Pitthas done a heavy job of layer in fictitious character maturation and backstory for the ensemble cast without being too heavy - handed with the exposition . While Dr. Robby got the most nidus as the protagonist in time of year 1 , there are undoubtedly further bed to expose . Hopefully , that come with Robby educate more self - sentience in season 2 .
