The Doc Talk Podcast

Behind the Scenes with Fiona Dourif aka Dr. McKay! The Doc Talk x The Pitt Recap: Episodes 8 & 9

Dr. Sheila Wijayasinghe and Dr. Shazma Mithani

We dive into two of The Pitt’s most emotionally charged hours exploring grief, moral distress, and the impossible pace of emergency medicine.

A special conversation on advocacy and authenticity with Fiona Dourif, the powerhouse actor behind Dr. Cassie McKay. We talk about channeling intensity on-screen, filming authentic medical scenes, and what The Pitt gets right about the chaos and compassion of hospital life.

These episodes remind us that behind every chart and trauma code are people, patients and providers alike, holding on to purpose, honesty, and humanity in the hardest moments.
