The Pitt Recap: Through the Cracks

It’s easy for me to say, since I’m not the one responsible for Mrs. Burns. Poor Mrs. Burns was found in a room that the hospital board thought was empty, which worried Donnie. Javadi realized they were talking about her patient and admitted she hadn’t added Mrs. Burns to the board, assuming the nurses had already done so. Dana explained that everyone needs to contribute and regularly check the board – if a patient isn’t listed, their tests won’t be processed, no one will check on them, and they’ll essentially be overlooked. To make matters worse, Javadi hadn’t yet informed a supervisor about Mrs. Burns. She came in feeling nauseous, and although Javadi ordered tests, Mrs. Burns has been waiting for an hour without any further attention.
