Actress Taylor Dearden talks about portraying neurodivergence on 'The Pitt'
Briefly

'The Pitt', wrapping its inaugural season on Max, has garnered significant praise for its authentic depiction of life in a big-city emergency room. The show is noted particularly for its portrayal of Dr. Mel King, a neurodivergent character played by Taylor Dearden, who adds depth to the narrative. Enhanced by a medical boot camp for actors and the oversight of medical professionals on trauma scenes, the show highlights a commitment to realistic medical portrayals that resonate with both viewers and healthcare professionals, distinguishing itself in the medical drama genre.
...we had two weeks of medical boot camp before we started shooting, which was incredibly helpful. And all trauma scenes are directed by doctors instead of the director.
...if we are unsure about something, instead of going to the director, if it's medical, just always listen to the doctor, even if the director wants something else.
