Dr. Robby Made A Clever Reference To A Noah Wyle Storyline From E.R.
: “You ever see anything like this before?”
he asks the doctors, who shake their heads.
“Well, that just goes to show you how old I am,” he deadpans.
“This looks like measles.”
It was a pre-9/11 world, when both medicine and the world in general were vastly different.

He’s older now - a lot older - and both he and the audience know it.
While Dr. Robby delivers the line in seriousness, anyone who knows that storyline fromE.R.
(or even that he was onE.R.)
He’s older now - a lot older - and both he and the audience know it.
Like Zack’s parents inE.R., the parents of Flynn inThe Pittrefused to vaccinate their kids.
Zack’s case inE.R.shows the consequences of that failure to vaccinate.
Yet, it’s done it in a way that hasn’t felt preachy.
Instead,The Pittapproaches these now-thorny storylines from a common-sense angle that humanizes healthcare workers and their frustrations.
“Can you put your damn phone away?”
“Your son is critically ill.
The longer that we wait, the higher the risk of permanent brain damage.
What is not clear here?”
In so many ways, the measles storyline is the most true-to-life.
It’s no wonder that so many of them, like Dr. Robby, are burning out.
