    I unironically recommend watching the gripping horror/drama that is “The Pitt” to understand how ERs work in the United States.

      To be fair, it’s VERY exaggerated. Yes, many of the situations are realistic, and a lot of the actual medicine is very accurate, but the overall situation is pretty far outside the normal for any real hospital.

      It’s like an entire year’s worth of worst case scenarios jammed into a “one shift” season.
