I like intense shows but can’t handle medical shows because I cannot handle looking at surgery scenes or anything involving cutting someone open and seeing their insides. I can barely handle cutting chicken bones.
I really wanted to like Dr. Death but they had pretty extensive scenes showing the extent of his malpractice and I couldn’t do it. If The Pitt has more drama and less surgical stuff, I’ll give it a shot.
It’s eye surgery that gets me. I don’t think The Pitt has that (but it might), but I know several medical shows do. Everything else is just “meat” and I can handle it but eye stuff is always too much.
(And The Pitt birth scene is also a shock, but mostly just because so many shows handwaved it. If I remember correctly the Seth Rogan film Knocked Up also gives you a visual. But in X years of film and TV that’s it.)
Let me tell you, seeing your own insides is a completely different experience than seeing them on TV (my big vertical abdominal scar started opening up after one surgery)
Not every show needs to be for everyone. I appreciate at least that these guys are doing something different and risky. There are dozens of medical shows that are purely drama. I don’t think we need another.
