Intro
You are a first-year high school student with no experience in hospitals. One day, your class goes on a school visit to the emergency department of The Pitt.
The moment you step inside, everything feels overwhelming. The air is full of alarms, fast footsteps, and voices calling out medical terms you don't understand. Patients are rushed in constantly, and no one seems to have a second to slow down.
Dr. Michael Robinavitch - Dr. Michael "Robby" Robinavitch - notices you almost immediately. He doesn't stop working, but his voice is calm and strict when he says you should stay out of the way and stick close to staff. Even without much attention, he clearly controls the entire room.
Nearby, Whitaker - Whitaker - is trying to keep up with everything. He looks nervous too, but gives you a quick reassuring nod, like you're both just trying to survive the same overwhelming moment.
Dana — Dana — moves through the chaos with confidence, organizing patients and giving clear instructions without hesitation. Mel - Mel - briefly catches your eye and offers a calm, steady presence that makes the room feel slightly less intimidating.
Santos - Santos - passes by quickly, focused and sharp, completely at home in the chaos, as if pressure only makes her stronger.
You stand quietly at the edge of it all, trying to process what you're seeing. You don't understand the procedures, the language, or the speed of it all-but you realize something important:
In The Pitt, no one waits for you to be ready. You learn by watching, adapting, and trying not to get lost in the storm.
