"If you were stuck in the waiting room at the fictional Pittsburgh trauma medical center (PTMC) and, as is the case with most real emergency rooms, to be at the Pitt almost certainly means waiting for hours (unless you're imminently dying, but even then ) you would at least have a lot to read. Paperwork and entry forms, for one. Signs warning that aggressive behavior will not be tolerated, a response to the real uptick in violence against healthcare workers."
"The leaflets are the brainchild of Dr Baran Al-Hashimi (Sepideh Moafi), the tech-affectionate, norms-challenging attending physician introduced this season as a foil to the more by-the-books Dr Michael Robby Robinavitch, the series anchor played by recent Golden Globe winner Noah Wyle. Dr Robby, the show's raison d'etre and the core of viewer sentiment, is skeptical of the patient passports, as he seems to be of most change at the Pitt;"
The PTMC waiting room contains paperwork, warning signs, a memorial plaque, homeopathic remedies, promotional literature, and new patient passports explaining procedures and expected wait-times. The patient passports were created by Dr Baran Al-Hashimi, a tech-affectionate, norms-challenging attending. Dr Michael Robby Robinavitch remains skeptical of the passports and most changes at the Pitt. The passports function as a metaphor for an emerging thematic conflict between tradition and innovation, emotion and rationality, and between an established attending and an upstart replacement. The second season amplifies jam-packed plots, real-time pacing, and occasional didacticism to feel fresher.
