I’ve pulled quite a few of those in the field, oddly enough usually from the back of the head.

Older Tasers would spread like that for a back shot. New Tasers don’t do that as much because each probe is aimed and fired independently.
I’ve only Tased one person and it didn’t work. One probe stuck and the other didn’t; no circuit no electricity. This was years ago.
I just read this morning that nurse Jesse, the guy with gray hair, is actually a nurse emt and used to be in a rock band.
Still wondering how the baby fits into everything.
And that little boy who stuck the red and blue beads up his nose…. I’m surprised my little dude didn’t do that when he was small.

I think she was already being transported in after “found her wandering in traffic”. She was supposed to ride along in the same ambulance, but, I guess, wandered off, and then they brought her in another one (not totally clear why it was in an ambulance vs some other type of transportation though).
S2E4 - i’m feeling very nervous for Louie! I think that tooth is going to be more trouble for him. And the Law student kid, I wonder what is wrong with him.
Dr. Al-Hashimi is a ED doc. She just comes from a VA that isn’t a trauma unit or maybe lower level trauma, I forget. Dr Robbie talks about that and she replies with even though here hospital isn’t a trauma unit she still sees them and manages them. Ideally a trauma patient goes to a trauma hospital, but if they can’t or family/EMT didn’t know it was a trauma, the ED with stabilize patient then transfer.
A lot of nursing homes have a long term unit and/or a dementia unit. It’s too complicated to explain. Nursing home sent the patients out so not sure what exactly you are asking about being notified. Nursing homes will eventually get notified when patients die or if patient is better when they will be sent back. Families should be notified. Patients whether in medical chart in hospital or nursing home will have contact information.
In interview from season 1, they explained masks aren’t used often in show because it will muffle speech.
Didn’t think about the depo, but you’re right.
Guessing he didn’t tell wife because he was embarrassed and brought himself in.

His story broke my heart. In my patrol cop days, I knew several Louies.

I loved last night’s episode. It wasn’t quite as intense as other episodes. But for whatever reason, it got me in my feels. Whitaker is becoming one of my favorite characters.
I just watched it tonight. I agree about Whitaker. And I liked the surprise turn of medical student photographic memory. I did not like her at first, but she’s growing on me.
Ep.9 Directed by Shawn Hatosy (Abbott).
Robbie! Get some help!!!
Scared for big man going into surgery.
Sad for cancer mother.
Bad ass new overflow coverage nurse. She’ll whip the desk into shape.

The show is so well written.
I still watch with my wife, but after last season it just feels like I’m at work again and it doesn’t hold my interest. My burnout has apparently spread to television.

Yeah. The drama doesn’t move me. I just think they capture the personalities well.
Interesting. It’s huge with the healthcare workers I know which is heavily skewed towards ER staff.
ER people work in the ER because they’re pathological. Obviously.
“Hey chatGPT, what’s the stereotype for ER nurses?”
ER nurses are frequently stereotyped as
high-energy, “adrenaline junkie” extroverts who thrive on chaos and remain unfazed by crisis. They are often perceived as blunt, aggressive, or “tatted-up” rule-breakers who prefer fast-paced, “quick-fix” care over long-term patient management. They are seen as fun, tough, and adaptable.

Key stereotypes include:
- Adrenaline Junkies & Chaotic: Known for loving the intense, unpredictable nature of the emergency department.
- “Band-Aid” Nurses: Perceived by floor nurses as quickly treating and transferring patients rather than focusing on long-term care.
- Brutally Honest/Aggressive: Strong-headed and direct, sometimes considered intimidating.
- Extroverted & Wild: Often stereotyped as social, fun-loving, and sometimes unprofessional or party-oriented outside of work.
It’s science.

I would watch a night shift The Pitt with Hatosy/Abbott as the lead.
Maybe that will be the focus of S3? Fast forward a couple of months while Robby is still on sabatical. They could do Halloween night.

When Robby put his hand on the shoulder of the husband … that really got me. No words - words weren’t necessary or needed. Just that hand on the shoulder.
