However, only 177,000 nurses are expected to take on these jobs within that very same timeframe.
Sick people are forced to wait for hours to be seen, with many growing more and more frustrated.
In yet another heated conversation with Gloria,Dr.
Robby makes it clear that there need to be more beds within the ERand up in the ICU.
Ultimately, this is the third part of a cruel cycle within American hospitals, whichThe Pittportrays perfectly.
Interestingly, the hospital bed shortage has been more of a recent issue for hospitals.
To be fair,The Pittdefinitely dramatizes its administrators, specifically Gloria.
The Pittseason 2 is slated to have 15 episodes in total.
This scenario showcases how there are countless details to consider when trying to run a good hospital.
Stuck behind a plastic mask and working for hours on end,Dr.
Robby’s story pulls back the curtain on a huge part of recent American history.
For many audiences, it feels too soon.
However,The Pittcarefully and skillfully shows a pandemic story that viewers might actually want to know about.Dr.

Worse than that,healthcare workers make up 73% of nonfatal workplace injuriesand illnesses sparked by said injuries.
For example, the same patient who hits Dana makes a racist remark to Mateo earlier in the season.
Regardless of who is facing prejudice inThe Pitt,it is clear that these situations can have grave consequences.
In the case of Mateo, his racist patient went on to enact violence against a hospital worker.
However, his racist remark may not have been taken seriously if it had been reported.
The Pitt’sformat parallelz how actual ER doctors work.
Furthermore,The Pitthas no time to linger on petty drama or personal issues.
This may be one ofThe Pitt’smost impressive feats.
In hisVultureinterview, Dr. Lukas Ramcharran explains thatDr.
Robby’s teaching method is incredibly accurate.
His constant fluctuation between helping, giving space, and offering moral support is perfect.
Audiences are able to see how vulnerable and terrifying it is to be responsible for other peoples' health.
Sometimes, egos can get in the way like in the case of Dr. Santos.
On the other hand, personal issues can help or hinder a new doctor, like Dr. King.
Ultimately,this part ofThe Pittis small, but helps make the show so much more authentic.
