00:00It's a different era.
00:02We really want this to be the most accurate medical show
00:05that we've ever had on TV.
00:06Welcome to the pit. Let's go save some lives.
00:09We want people to feel as if you went to Pittsburgh,
00:12you would actually be able to walk into the hospital
00:14and find these people.
00:15The emergency department is such an amazing place
00:18because all society's ills pass through those doors.
00:22Not responding to Narcan. We might need to intubate.
00:25The format of one day is really special and specific.
00:29We wanted to build a pressure cooker,
00:31and we figured the best way to build that pressure cooker
00:33would be to tell the story in real time.
00:36Each hour-long episode represents one hour
00:39in the shift that we're working.
00:41We shoot in continuity,
00:42so it's very much like being on a live stage.
00:45Cameras go up, and we just go,
00:47and it does feel like you're doing theater.
00:50The lines come rapid-fire.
00:52The procedure comes rapid-fire.
00:53Patients are coming at you.
00:56That's called being an emergency medicine doctor.
00:59My character sort of epitomizes
01:01the plight of the healthcare worker.
01:03In a profession where expressing vulnerability is frowned upon,
01:07you run the risk of one day
01:09those things coming to call once again.
01:11I feel like the show is doing a really good job
01:14of representing the toll that COVID took on the ER.
01:18There has been an appropriate amount of space
01:22since the pandemic
01:23for us to start talking about
01:25not only what happened to emergency workers
01:27during that moment,
01:28but the fact that those marks are still there.
01:31I hope that healthcare professionals will watch it
01:33and really see themselves and their stories reflected in this.
01:37They're really doing an extraordinary thing for us
01:40in taking care of us in these difficult situations.
01:43Really, it's a love letter to first responders
01:45and those people who take care of us.
01:47We got skills!
01:53We got skills!
