The Pitt: Episode 1 Recap: “7:00 A.M.”

Dr. Sheila Wijayasinghe and Dr. Shazma Mithani

We’re kicking off our recap series with the pilot episode of The Pitt. our favourite medical drama that’s already sweeping awards season. In this first look inside the ER, the tone is set with a jam-packed morning shift, quick-fire decisions, and the introduction of the learners who give us an entry point into the chaos.

We dive into the cases, unpack the character introductions, and share what felt real versus what was made for TV. With Dr. Shazma’s emergency room perspective guiding us through the accuracy of the details, we close with the moments that resonated most, the MVPs of the episode, and the key take-home messages for listeners.

Follow along with us as we recap and catch up, just in time for The Pitt Season 2, dropping January 2026.
