Sickle cell disease plays a major role in The Pitt season 1, episode 2, but Max’s new medical drama doesn’t explain everything about the chronic disease. The Pitt, led by a very talented cast of characters, takes a very realistic and stark look at the state of the healthcare industry and the challenges healthcare providers face. The show has already touched on topics like the nursing shortage in The Pitt and the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, so it clearly doesn’t balk at tackling the difficult realities of the medical field. That makes it the perfect show to talk about misunderstood conditions like sickle cell disease.
