That doesn’t mean The Pitt can fix the gap it’s documenting. A TV show can’t force funding for more research into conditions that primarily affect women. It can’t fill those post-Roe v.Wade gaps or make a male EMS worker comfortable enough with a woman’s body to do his job. But it can make you feel the weight of those failures. It can make you shocked and insulted and furious…rightly so. And maybe those feelings can spur change, or at least, awareness, on an individual level and on a societal one. The Pitt may not have the power to fix the gender healthcare gap, but it can keep plastering it on screen, week after week, refusing to let us forget that we’re failing women every day, exactly when they need our help the most.
