Knock Knock Eye: The Pitt: Is This the Most Realistic Medical Show Ever?
0:00

In this episode I dive deep into the chaotic world of Match Day, exploring the emotional rollercoaster for medical students who match—and those who don’t. I share insights into why family medicine and pediatrics residency spots are going unfilled at alarming rates and what this means for the future of primary care. I also review the medical drama The Pitt, breaking down one of its most realistic emergency eye trauma scenes—complete with a lateral canthotomy and high-pressure eye injuries.
Takeaways:
Match Day is one of the most stressful times in a medical student’s life, and not matching doesn’t mean your career is over.
Family medicine and pediatrics residency spots are going unfilled, raising concerns about the future of primary care.
The Pitt is one of the most medically realistic shows, and its portrayal of emergency eye trauma is surprisingly accurate.
Medical education is becoming increasingly unaffordable, and debt is pushing students away from lower-paying but essential specialties.
ER doctors need to know how to handle emergency eye procedures, including lateral canthotomies and managing high-pressure eye trauma.
