The Pitt

New medical series on HBO, it's got something for everyone.

Last week's episode has a great CFNM scene with an all-female team of nurses and doctors treating a patient with priapism (shown in graphic detail).

I'm a retired physician who's done his fair share of ED work and lots of general medicine and ICU/CCU work. I have never found a medical TV series that was watchable until now. I finally gave The Pitt a look at the end of its first season and was hooked. It's pretty good! The only show I had watched until now was St. Elsewhere which, with all its quirks and eccentricities, wasn't that far off the mark.

Does anyone know if there is an injection scene in it?

Many, tho not IM. Mostly injection of local anesthetics, including one in a tongue. Ouch!! Also transrectal setting of a fractured coccyx in a recognizable older actor: Michael Nourie i believe. Also Ouch! Finally many mentions of rectal temperatures. All appropriate in the medical setting. Overall an excellent show.

Pollux! Had to reply. My wife and I absolutely loved St. Elsewhere and hated to see the series end. Hadn’t heard anyone mention it in quite some time. I’m enjoying The Pitt too.

While it didn't work in every single detail, I loved the creative ending of St. Elsewhere, too. It's rare to have a series wrap up well, much less in a way that's original and unexpected.

Gee, I wonder if it's streaming anywhere...

I absolutely agree, @pinotnoir. Many didn't care for the final episode of St Elsewhere but I thought it was sheer genius. It is available for streaming, on Hulu I think. Certainly very different content wise than The Pitt but both unequaled in their genre.
