I don't know why nobody was explaining the flashbacks to you, I don't think it would have been a spoiler since we knew Dr Adamson died on that day 4 years prior which pegs it as COVID times... Maybe I'm forgetting and it gets explained better later...

2025-10-22 23:51:43 +0000 UTCThe brother and sister and their dad really mess me up. My dad died from Covid (this year, not during peak pandemic) because we knew intubating him would be too much (he also had cancer and diabetes - both managed, but not enough to survive a crisis). Even if intubating would have bought him time, he would have hated it if he even regained consciousness. At the same time I wish I could have seen him one last time. I understand both sides of it.

2025-09-14 02:56:48 +0000 UTCI have suspected WPW. First started around 2010. Went for all the scans and they couldn't 100% confirm the extra valve as they suspect it was on the backside of my heart where they couldn't see. Used to only go off every couple years but now it happens every year. The last time I had to go to emergency to go under and get shocked back into sinus rhythm. However, they had my wife leave the room as they didn't want to scare her! Glad she was spared that to be honest. Sorry you had to see it. I woke up with sore calves from the contraction. Waiting for the cardiologist to get back to me on my first ablation!

2025-06-24 00:20:15 +0000 UTCI had a boyfriend about 15 years ago who has Wolfe Parkinson White syndrome. It was an interesting case for the doctors because he was so young (late 20s/early 30s) - it's usually a disease that older people suffer from. But I had to take him to the ER once because he was having AFib for an extended period of time, which wouldn't stop due to the WPW. They did the same thing that they showed here, where he was put under a quick acting anesthesia and cardioverted his heart, while I was there in the room with him. It was crazy. He was back talking within a couple of minutes. He ended up having an ablation surgery maybe a year later, which he will likely have to have redone, possibly multiple times, since he's so young.

2025-06-23 13:06:55 +0000 UTCOne more comment: The daughter . . . I also interpreted some of her words to her father to suggest that perhaps because she was a girl, her father didn't do the same things with her that he did later with her younger brother. It felt like some of the pain came from that place, too. She also seems like a more serious person whereas her dad likely had a playful, childlike side to him to have worked on Mister Rogers Neighborhood. Her brother seems to have that same personality trait. I'm so glad she said what she needed to say to him. It was healing for her.

2025-06-23 12:31:17 +0000 UTC1. The story of the brother & sister wrecked me the first time & wrecked me again. It reminds me of losing my mom. When Dr. Robby talks about them being the only ones left -- the "ones who hold the memories" -- it's very similar to things my brother said after my mom passed. Also, the daughter (granddaughter?) who comes in to say goodbye to her father, the veteran who had died during the overnight shift, when she mentions him being cold. After my mom passed, I asked to lay next to her in the bed. I held her and touched her face and talked to her. I miss her every single day. I deeply loved the letter that Dr. Abbott (the night shift doc we saw in episode 1) left for the man's family. Beautiful. 2. There was so much Pittsburgh history and so many references in these episodes. Some of you may be unfamiliar with Mister Rogers Neighborhood, a show that was filmed in Pittsburgh. Fred Rogers was an incredible man, my childhood hero. His show would play on PBS along with Sesame Street. His legacy is deeply treasured in our city and by probably millions whose lives were touched by his television show. This 7 minute video of him testifying before Congress about the importance of public television for children is worth every second: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKy7ljRr0AA They also mentioned so many little drops: Presby (Presbyterian Hospital); Swissvale and Monroeville (where I live!); the "eye in the sky" is the news helicopter; and more . . . Very fun for someone who lives here to hear these things.

2025-06-23 12:19:06 +0000 UTC13:01 I think I posted this in the first episodes, but I read Dr. Mel as neurodivergent. I think her singing and pressure/holding with her hands is a way of calming herself in emotional situations.
