Tales from a Former L&D Nurse: Part 2 - The Pitt

Episode 16 —

This week, Cassidy is flying solo for another installment of Tales from a Former L&D Nurse — and this time, she’s scrubbing in for TV duty.

She’s reacting to The Pitt, Season 1, Episode 11 — the one with that birth scene. You know, the shoulder dystocia, the postpartum hemorrhage, and enough dramatic music to rival a Marvel movie.

As a former Labor & Delivery nurse, Cassidy’s seen the real thing — and let’s just say, this episode didn’t exactly pass the chart audit. From what The Pitt nailed to what made her yell “that’s not how any of this works!” at her TV, this one’s equal parts educational and unhinged.

Because while The Pitt might be the most medically accurate show on TV… the birth scene? Yeah, not so much.

So grab your sense of humor and maybe an emotional support peri bottle — we’re breaking down how Hollywood delivers babies (spoiler: badly).
