Yungblud has canceled the remainder of his tour dates scheduled in 2025 due to medical concerns. In a statement posted to Instagram over the weekend, the young rocker shared that, “This week when I got home off the road, and went to have some tests done (like I usually do) and my voice and blood tests have raised some concerns. I have been ordered by my doctor to take a break from touring until the end of the year.”

“It is in my nature to run and run until I run myself to the ground without giving a fuck about anything apart from the music and you guys but this time I’ve been told I have to take it seriously and I can’t fuck around,” Yungblud added. “I don’t want to do any lasting damage to myself, we are on a journey that I want to last forever. I understand that some of you will be so frustrated. I just want you to know that this is so hard for me to do but I promise I will make it up to you.”

As a result, Yungblud has canceled upcoming dates scheduled in Philadelphia, Cleveland, Washington, Mexico City, and Latin America.

The good news is Yungblud is due back on the road next year: his massive “IDOLS Tour” will hit North America next spring (tickets here), and he says he’s also planning to announce his own headlining shows in Mexico and Latin America.

Jared Padalecki & Anna Fricke's Texas Medical Drama Gets Development Room Order At CBS

Jared Padalecki & Anna Fricke’s Texas Medical Drama Gets Development Room Order At CBS

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Walker star/executive producer Jared Padalecki‘s re-teaming with the CW series’ executive producer/showrunner Anna Fricke is advancing at CBS. The network has given a development room order to the untitled medical drama.

The project, from CBS Studios where Fricke is under an overall deal and Padalecki has a first-look pact, was set up at CBS for development in January.

That is not typically a broadcast buying window but since switching to long-term, year-round development two years ago, CBS has been leaning heaving into off-cycle orders after a lengthy development process that sometimes includes writers rooms.

CBS recently gave a series order to Robert and Michelle King’s legal drama Cupertino starring Mike Colter, which also went through a writers room order after initially being put in development in summer 2024. The network’s current medical drama Watson also followed the development room model.

Stocking up on classic TV drama genres, Cupertino will join CBS’ hit legal drama Matlcok, with the Fricke/Padalecki project looking to join Watson. The network has several entries in the cop (and adjacent) field, most recently hot freshmen Boston Blue and Sheriff Country.

Like Walker, the untitled Fricke/Padalecki project is set in Padalecki’s home state of Texas. Unlike most medical dramas, which take place at big, urban hospitals, it spotlights rural medicine, which is rarely seen on TV. It centers on a headstrong, devoted doctor (Padalecki) who practices his unique style of improvisational medicine alongside his new protégé, a young doctor escaping her past, as they operate a mobile clinic and heal the bodies and souls of their underserved community in the medical desert of rural Texas.

Fricke and Laura Terry executive produce through Fricke’s Pursued by a Bear alongside Padalecki. Genevieve Padalecki also is producing; Padalecki’s former manager Dan Spilo is no longer involved. It is unclear yet whether the project would target the 2026-27 or 2027-28 season.

Padalecki recently recurred on CBS/CBS Studios’ Fire Country with a possibility to spin off his character into a separate series. There has been no movement on that idea, and there have been no plans for the Supernatural alum to return to Fire Country this season.

In addition to headlining and executive producing CW/CBS Studios’ Walker, Padalecki also executive produced the prequel series Walker: Independence, working on both with Fricke who developed the former and co-developed the latter in addition to her services as executive producer on both and showrunner on Walker.

Fricke’s series credits also include 4400, Valor and Wayward Pines.

Captain Sig Hansen Suffers Medical Emergency at Sea

written by jummy84

What To Know

  • Season 21 of Deadliest Catch concluded with high drama as Sig Hansen suffered a health emergency at sea after two heart attacks.
  • Jake Anderson overcame crew injuries to meet a massive quota, and moving closer to owning the Titan Explorer outright.
  • Other captains, faced medical emergencies, mechanical failures, and dangerous weather, but managed to overcome challenges.

[Warning: The below contains spoilers for Deadliest Catch Season 21]

There has been a lot of blood, sweat, and tears shed during Season 21 of Deadliest Catch. It all led up to a dramatic one-two punch of episodes during the October 31 double episode finale. Sig Hansen was stressed with an offload bairdi quota deadline coming in four days. He received a call from Jake Anderson, who wasn’t too far off, asking if his former mentor wanted to partner up. Sig initially turned him down. Jake had another idea to boost numbers. He opted to weld and set pairs of pots across the narrow channel in a zig-zag pattern. His hope was to herd the crab in like sheep dogs through baited gear. Sig eventually came back and went with Jake’s herding approach. Sig’s Northwestern went north while Jake’s Titan Explorer went south.

The plan proved fruitful. However, Sig was starting to feel the physical and mental demands of captaining a vessel deep into a season. Feeling especially tired, he called his son-in-law Clark Pederson to the wheelhouse to take over while he went to lay down. Later on a crew member checked on Sig to find him on the floor in his room. It was a dramatic scene that even led to the producer to ask if he needed help. There was vomit spotted nearby. The crew wanted to alert the coast guard, but Sig refused. “I was just dizzy,” Sig explained. “It feels tight on my chest.” 

Knowing he had two previous heart attacks, Clark consulted with a cardiology specialist via phone to see what they should do. The medical professional asked him to take his blood pressure and check his pulse. Sig mentioned having shoulder pain. “How fast can you get him medical attention,” the specialist asked. He suggested elevating his legs for increased blood flow and to head to a medical clinic ASAP. They made it back to port. Sig headed off to see a cardiologist and get checked out.  

Clark Pederson/Discovery Channel

It was then up to Clark to finish things up with 60,000 pounds of bairdi still to catch. This was the first time he captained by himself. Back on land in Washington, Sig met with the doctor. Sig spoke about what led up to the event including being up for a day-and-a-half and drinking a ton of coffee, in excess of 15-20 cups. Sig admitted he was also still smoking. Arrhythmia increased the risk of having a heart attack. The doctor encouraged him to stop smoking and lay off the caffeine, especially in such a high stressful job. The doctor suggested he may also want to reconsider fishing more. “You’re not doing yourself any favors being on the boat.” Needless to say, Sig had a lot to think about regarding his future. Clark made it back home as the conquering hero. He met the quota, which translated to $52,000 for each deckhand. Sig was proud of his son-in-law and thankful for his efforts. So much he gifted him a new set of wheels. Sig  As for retiring Sig said, “I don’t see that happening. Quite, frankly, I don’t want to.” 

Meanwhile, Jake had his own issues aboard the Titan Explorer with a big quota looming. His key deckhand Mac White hurt his knee, but he limped on through until he reached a point he needed to step aside. Jake hoped to get him back in the game as the 40-year veteran was an important member of the team. Mac valiantly made it back on deck to finish the job. Jake met his quota with a mammoth 400,000 pounds of bairdi worth $2.9 million. Now it was just about writing a check and filling out paperwork to own the Titan Explorer outright. His crew received $145,000 each for their efforts. 

Keith Colburn

Discovery Channel

In Anchorage, Alaska, Keith Colburn was getting himself checked out at the hospital. His brother Monte held down the fort on The Wizard. There were still 100,000 pounds of crab left to catch. An alarm sounded ,and he lost steering. The plan was to weld piping down below the vessel to operate the steering manually while they work on another motor over the next few hours. The waves were coming in strong as Monte communicated directives of where to steer while the pots were placed. 

Keith received good news from the  panel results on his kidneys and back. He may return to work. Back on the boat, Joe, chief engineer, was able to get the steering going again. Then it came back to hauling to finish the season strong. Monte took a break to pick up his brother from the airport. With an offload done, they were getting out there for opilio before the cannery closed. Despite turbulent weather and conditions, their numbers picked up and headed home. 

Rick Shelford had a difficult opilio season as well and battled particularly icy conditions. He made a last-ditch effort to make his goal on the Aleutian Lady as he dropped 120 pots in the midst of 20-foot breakers. Rick had to deal with a potentially disastrous leak that put his crab tank and 65,000 pounds of crab worth $425,000 in danger. Luckily, the crew managed to locate the leak and seal it up. 

Though it wasn’t smooth sailing when his deckhand Noah got smacked in the face with a steel hook. Rick likened it to getting punched in the face by Mike Tyson. With blood coming out of his mouth, Noah had cracked teeth. Rick had no choice but to head back to the Dutch Harbor for him to get helped by a dentist. Rick headed back on the waters to get the rest of his crab. He finished with 220,000 pounds for his quota, which meant a $55,000 pay day for each hand. Overall a job well done.

Death in Apartment 603: What Happened to Ellen Greenberg?
TV & Streaming

Medical Examiner Finds Ellen Greenberg’s Death a Suicide

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Dr. Lindsay Simon, the chief medical examiner for the city of Philadelphia, has found Ellen Greenberg’s death to be a suicide.

Hulu miniseries Death in Apartment 603: What Happened to Ellen Greenberg? recently brought to light the unusual circumstances surrounding Greenberg’s death. The three-part documentary series also served among the “Materials Reviewed” for Dr. Simon to reach her conclusion.

Greenberg’s death is unusual for a suicide. She was found dead in early 2011 by her fiancé, Sam Goldberg, with a knife sticking out of her chest, 20 noted stab wounds (three more incisions would be found later by Simon) and 11 contusions. That doesn’t sound like a suicide, but one piece of evidence overruled foul play — Greenberg and Goldberg’s shared apartment door had been latched from the inside.

Goldberg had to physically break through the latch to find Greenberg in the kitchen. There were no signs of struggle in the apartment, no valuables missing and no one else’s DNA (including Goldberg’s) on the knife protruding from Greenberg’s torso. Their apartment building had 24/7 security and was equipped with several cameras, which captured footage of Goldberg’s alibi — a visit to the gym. Though really it was the logistics of the door latch that led first responders to their conclusion.

There were no cameras in the hallways to capture Goldberg forcibly entering their apartment. Cell phone records show Goldberg called and texted Greenberg asking her to unlatch the door dozens of times. Greenberg’s death was ruled a suicide on the scene, a decision that did not preserve the apartment properly for additional study.

Greenberg had a history of emotional struggles, primarily anxiety. Greenberg, a young teacher, had been feeling especially anxious about getting grades in by a deadline. She expressed the feelings with various individuals, and there was no evidence of domestic violence or other issues between Greenberg and Goldberg. Goldberg has since married and started a family; he declined to participate in the Hulu miniseries.

Greenberg’s family and friends did not accept the ruling of suicide, and an autopsy agreed with them. Subsequent reports from various consultants were a mixed bag, with some finding homicide and others suicide. The consultants’ reports were also among Simon’s reviewed materials.

Simon’s report found no defensive wounds on Greenberg’s body, which was consistent with other reports, and identified numerous “hesitation wounds” — shallow incisions consistent with being initial attempts at self harm. Hesitation wounds are exploratory, for lack of a better word, neither deep nor (in most cases) deadly.

Greenberg’s stab wounds were all on her posterior head/neck, right neck and central front torso, Simon found. “While the distribution of injuries is admittedly unusual, the fact remains that Ellen would be capable of inflicting these injuries herself,” she wrote.

“With all of the information considered … Greenberg’s death is best classified as ‘Suicide,’” Simon concluded.

Hospital Under Fire: Mother Shamaya Jackson Sues As Baby Milani Jream Andrea Finch Passes/Death After Being Sent Home… TWICE From Albany Medical Center!
Celebrity News

Sues Albany Medical Center For Baby Milani

by jummy84
written by jummy84

A mother named Shamaya Jackson is suing Albany Medical Center following the death of her 1-month-old daughter, Milani Jream Andrea Finch. Per the mother, reported trips to the facility left her and her daughter turned away and dismissed. Ultimately, days after one visit, Milani passed away.

Now, Jackson is speaking out, noting that her daughter’s death could have been prevented. What happened? And why is the medical center also facing fines, lawsuits, and other allegations?

The Shade Room‘s Justin Carter is stepping in and shedding light on what’s really happening and what the public should know on ‘TSR Investigates.’

More On Shamaya Jackson & The Death Of Milani Jream Andrea Finch

According to the lawsuit, on April 9, 2025, Jackson visited the facility with her 1-month-old daughter. At the time, Jackson noticed that the infant was having trouble breathing. Despite this, Jackson and Milani were sent home. Then, on April 25, the pair returned. Additionally, per the mother, she was told her daughter had HMPV — symptoms close to coughing and wheezing. Ultimately, medical officials dismissed Jackson’s concerns, and she and her baby were discharged from the facility. Then, the next day, Milani was back at the facility and placed in the ICU for respiratory failure.

Ultimately, the 1-month-old passed away.

“Y’all made it seem like everything was okay — like it was just a regular cold. Like, how did we get here?” Jackson recalled of the Albany Medical Center staff. “[She was] disregarded — like everybody just got up and just left. They didn’t wrap my baby up in a blanket. They just left her body…”

What’s Really Happening At Albany Medical Center?

Per Carter, the events appear to be a “trend” at the center. Furthermore, in 2022, a three-year-old passed away due to a pulmonary embolism and an enlarged heart. He and his family had reportedly gone to the facility three times within two weeks. In their lawsuit, his family accused the center of failing to give their son timely treatment.

Scroll above to watch as Carter breaks down a New York State Department of Health report filed against the facility in June. The department reportedly issued a $375,000 fine against the center for “over 500 staffing violations.” Additionally, even shares the remarks from one nurse who allegedly worked at the facility and said she and her co-workers were being “spread too thin.” Furthermore, Carter shares videos that have surfaced of staff members creating dance TikToks while on the job. And he shares whether he received a statement from Albany Medical Center in response to it all. Lastly, Carter shares a general statement that a spokesperson for the facility has shared with The Times Union.

To note, those interested can contribute to the GoFundMe campaign to support Milani’s family following her passing here.

Lambrini Girls’ Selin Macieira-Boşgelmez to “take a step back from live shows” due to “seek medical help” on severe impact of touring with disabilities

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Lambrini Girls bassist Selin Macieira-Boşgelmez has announced that she is taking “a step back from live shows”.

  • READ MORE: Lambrini Girls are all bark and tons of bite

The band are set to embark on a US tour later this month and a 19-date trek across the UK and Europe starting on November 19 at London’s O2 Forum Kentish Town.

But Macieira in a lengthy post on her Instagram page, has announced she will not be part of the US tour and Big Girl’s Kaitlin Pelkey will be filling in for her.

“Hello. I want to talk about something quite personal, partially because of my violent need to be deeply understood by those in my life, partially in order to be transparent about touring with disabilities in hopes to raise awareness, in hopes, that people in my position can relate and feel less alone,” she began before adding: “And also because I’ve never understood, nor had the desire to understand, the taboo of being very personal with strangers.”

She continued: “Being in this band has taken me places and shown me things I never thought I’d see, and I’m forever grateful that I get to play shows for a living and write music that people enjoy.

“But after extensive touring, I’ve been forced to come face to face with my limit. I’ve always struggled badly in touring environments, and despite my best efforts, those struggles have consumed me entirely and spat me out again.”

Macieira goes on to explain that she was diagnosed as being bipolar and with autism four years ago and after touring last year she “developed a physical tic, that has since progressed to a vocal tic” and is “causing me a lot of distress and pain.”

“I’ve never wanted anything more in my life than to be able to exist normally in this world, and having the realisation that this is not possible has put me in a dangerous place mentally,” she said.

“I have to withdraw and try to simulate a safe environment, to mend the foundations I’ve cracked in myself to try and come back to myself. Unfortunately this means I will be taking a step back from live shows with Lambrini Girls, to give myself a chance to seek medical help.

“Our scheduled shows are still going ahead and I’ll appear on stage when I’m able, but for our upcoming US tour you’ll have the brilliant Kaitlin Pelkey from Big Girl filling in for me on bass.”

Macieira went to say that she is tired of being “expected to be ‘loud’ and ‘energetic’ – to be ‘on’ all the time.”

She concluded: “I’m tired of feeling like being quiet in this band is weakness and inadequacy, like it’s not enough. I’ve betrayed myself for so long at nobody’s cost but my own. No more cosplaying from me. Peace up, A-town.”

The duo’s debut album ‘Who Let The Dogs Out’ was released earlier this year. In a glowing five-star review of the LP, NME shared: “Lambrini Girls prove punk is alive and kicking. They’re unapologetically amplifying chaos, calling out societal wrongs, and daring us all to feel something. This record is loud, raw, and impossible to ignore.”

Lambrini Girls are due to kick off their UK tour on November 19. Check out a full list of tour dates here and visit here to purchase tickets.

Michael Urie was a medical marijuana tester before Ugly Betty fame

Michael Urie was a medical marijuana tester before Ugly Betty fame

written by jummy84

Michael Urie was a medical marijuana tester before starring in Ugly Betty.

Ugly Betty star Michael Urie

The 45-year-old star – best known for playing Marc St. James in the hit dramedy series – applied for the role 20 years ago with his friend after spotting the position advertised in the Village Voice magazine.

But while his pal did not get chosen due to health problems, Michael was taken on.

He told Chelsea Handler – who “tried” to get a job as a marijuana tester “so many times” – on a recent episode of her Dear Chelsea podcast: “It was in the Village Voice, and it was a joke.

“We would always joke about it like, you know, they have these ads in the Village Voice, ‘Are they real?’

“And I just answered one. And actually, my good friend, my dearest friend, and I, we were roommates, and we both answered it. And he had this kind of like brain thing.

“It’s not that serious, but at the time, he was like having some seizures and stuff. And so he did not get accepted. And he was so p***** because he had this one little tiny anomaly, and I did get accepted.”

Michael said the experience of testing strains at different strengths was “wild”.

He continued: “And I would go in, it was wild. It was a wild thing. I would go into a hospital, and I would sit in a hospital room, and it was a double blind test.”

The Single All the Way star said he even got “high as f***” and “paranoid” when he did the trials.

Michael added: “So the person administering it to me did not know what they were giving me. And it was always a different level of strength.

“So like one time, I got just high as f***, and I was so stoned, and I was like loopy, like rolling around in the hospital and playing with all the different things.

“This young lady stayed with me, and she made sure … I remember when I would get really high, the days I would get really high, I’d be like, I think it’s double blind, but maybe it’s not. Maybe that’s just what they say.

“And I get paranoid, and then I would take these tests. So they would put me in front of a computer, and I would take these cognitive tests that would be like, a shape would pop up, it’s a triangle or whatever, and fill in the blank.

“Sometimes I was really good at it, and sometimes I wasn’t.

“And then there were days when it was like a placebo.”

And the Shrinking star said marijuana helps him to learn his lines.

He said: “It’s true when you’re stoned that you don’t remember things.

“But I have started, well, I’ve been doing it for a while now, but when I have to learn lines, like a big chunk of text or something, or a scene, I will do it high.

“I will learn it high.

“And then immediately when I’m high, and I try to, if I say, ‘Will you run this with me?’ I won’t be able to do it.

“But then when I go back to it later, sober, it’s there.”

Can I Sue for Food Poisoning? How to Get Medical and Wage Compensation

Can I Sue for Food Poisoning? How to Get Medical and Wage Compensation

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Can I sue for food poisoning? Yes, you can. In the U.S., if contaminated food makes you sick, you have the right to take legal action. Filing a food poisoning lawsuit can help you recover medical bills, lost wages, and food poisoning compensation for your pain and suffering.

What Counts as Food Poisoning in Legal Terms?

When we talk about food poisoning, most people think of a stomach ache or an upset tummy after a meal. But legally, it is more than just feeling sick. Food poisoning happens when you eat contaminated food or drink and it causes a measurable illness. This could be from bacteria such as E. coli, Salmonella, or Listeria, viruses, or harmful toxins in your meal.

Not every stomach bug qualifies for a food poisoning lawsuit. To have a case worth pursuing, your illness needs to be directly linked to the food you ate. That means showing clear evidence that the food was contaminated and caused real harm such as hospitalization, missed work, or lasting health effects.

Understanding this foundation is important before asking, “Can I sue for food poisoning?” Without proof of the source and the illness, the case may not move forward.

Can You Sue for Food Poisoning?

If you are asking, “Can I sue for food poisoning?” the answer is yes. You can file a food poisoning lawsuit if you can prove the contaminated food made you sick. Minor stomach upset usually does not qualify. The illness must cause real harm like medical bills or lost income.

Who can be responsible? Restaurants, grocery stores, food manufacturers, and caterers. Anyone in the food chain who acted negligently can be liable.

For example, if you got sick at home after eating takeout, you might ask, “Can I sue for food poisoning if I ate at home?” Yes, but you must prove the food caused your illness. Often, the defendant is the restaurant or supplier.

What You Need to Prove in a Food Poisoning Lawsuit

  • Gather medical records showing your illness and treatment 
  • Keep receipts from restaurants, grocery stores, or food purchases 
  • Collect lab test results linking your illness to contaminated food 
  • Consider expert witnesses such as doctors, health inspectors, or food safety specialists 
  • Show a direct link between the food and your sickness 
  • Use a food poisoning lawyer to help gather and present all proof effectively

Food Poisoning Compensation: What You Can Get

When you file a food poisoning lawsuit, you may be able to recover several types of compensation.

  • Medical expenses: This includes hospital visits, medication, and any long-term care needed because of your illness. 
  • Lost income: If you missed work due to sickness, you could be reimbursed for your lost wages. 
  • Pain and suffering: Compensation may cover physical pain and emotional distress caused by the food poisoning. 
  • Wrongful death claims: In severe cases where food poisoning leads to death, families can claim damages. 

Victims filing a food poisoning lawsuit may be entitled to substantial food poisoning compensation. The amount depends on the severity of illness and proof of negligence.

 How to Sue a Restaurant for Food Poisoning

If you became sick after eating contaminated food, you have the right to take action. Here is a step-by-step guide to help you navigate the process:

  • See a doctor immediately
     Getting medical attention is your first step. A doctor can diagnose your illness and document your symptoms. Medical records serve as strong evidence in a food poisoning lawsuit. 
  • Keep receipts, packaging, and leftover food
     Save receipts, food packaging, and any leftovers. These help prove what you ate, when you ate it, and where it came from. The more evidence you have, the stronger your case will be. 
  • Report the case to your local health department
     Filing a report creates an official record. Health inspectors may investigate the restaurant or food supplier, which can support your claim. 
  • Contact a food poisoning lawyer or food poisoning attorney
     A skilled lawyer can explain your rights, guide you through the legal process, and help you gather the evidence needed for a successful case. They can also negotiate with insurance companies or the restaurant’s legal team. 
  • File your claim or lawsuit
     Once your evidence is ready, your lawyer can help you file the claim in court or negotiate a settlement. This step ensures you seek compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain, and suffering. 

Remember, suing a restaurant for food poisoning often begins with reporting the case to the health department. Acting quickly increases your chances of a successful outcome.

Why You Need a Food Poisoning Attorney

Filing a food poisoning lawsuit can be stressful. A food poisoning attorney guides you and protects your rights.

  • Building a strong case
     They gather evidence like medical records, receipts, and lab tests to support your claim. 
  • Negotiating with insurers
     Restaurants and their insurers may try to offer low settlements. A lawyer ensures you get fair compensation. 
  • Maximizing damages
     An experienced lawyer includes medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering in your claim. 
  • Choosing the right court
     They advise if your case should go to small claims or higher court, saving time and stress. 

A skilled food poisoning lawyer increases your chances of a successful claim and guides you through every step.

FAQ Section

Can I sue for food poisoning if I didn’t go to the hospital?
 Yes, you can. Medical treatment strengthens your case, but proof like receipts, photos of leftover food, or lab results can still help.

What if multiple people got sick from the same restaurant?
 Multiple victims can file separate claims or join a group lawsuit. It shows a pattern of negligence, which can strengthen your case.

How long do I have to file a claim in the U.S.?
 Time limits vary by state. Usually, you must file within one to three years after getting sick. Contact a lawyer quickly to avoid missing the deadline.

Can I sue for mild food poisoning?
 Yes, you can sue even if your illness was mild. Compensation may cover medical bills, lost wages, and pain or suffering, depending on your case.

Final Thoughts: Protecting Your Rights

Food poisoning can be serious, but you have legal options in the U.S. Acting quickly helps you protect your rights. Always seek medical attention first.

Keeping records like receipts, photos, and medical reports makes your case stronger. A skilled food poisoning lawyer can guide you through the process.

Even if your illness seems minor, you may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost wages, or pain and suffering.

Whether you want to sue for food poisoning or just understand your rights, getting legal help early can make a big difference.

Noah Wyle as Dr. Robby Robinavitch on the HBO series.
TV & Streaming

R. Scott Gemmill on HBO Max’s Hit Medical Drama ‘The Pitt’

by jummy84
written by jummy84

The Pitt, which is nominated for 13 Emmys, has eerie parallels to the real world. Not only did its episode on measles debut the week of an outbreak in the U.S., but the HBO Max drama also grappled with a hospital’s lack of resources amid a larger culture of health care haves and have-nots, not unlike President Trump’s recent “Big Beautiful Bill” proposal that likely will lead to millions of people losing their Medicaid benefits.

Dr. Robby to the rescue? The Pitt’s creator and showrunner R. Scott Gemmill says only Noah Wyle could embrace the titular role in this timeless series. 

The show had an interesting trajectory in the way it got started. I know you said you never wanted to do a medical drama again after ER.

Yes correct. I didn’t want to do one. We had done what was I thought was considered the best version, and we had done so many stories. So it was like, what would you do differently? And I would always want to go back to the ER, because it’s the most dynamic place in medicine for me. I had a way to do it as a reboot for ER, and then when that didn’t work, we just walked away. We were back to square one. And then when HBO Max said they still wanted to do a medical show, then it was sort of a clean slate, other than it was going to be me, John Wells and Noah Wyle and my friend Joe. I wanted Joe Sachs to work on the show with me, but it was like, what does a new show look like in this era and for streaming? It was great because we got to reinvent what we’d done before, and build on what we knew worked, and try things that we were totally untested by us.

How did you settle on the idea of The Pitt? I know Noah was getting an influx of messages from health care workers during COVID about how hard it was in the sector.

That was happening to Noah, but I was unaware. After COVID, I was going to develop [an idea] with another writer friend. We’d worked on shows together, including ER, and were developing and weren’t having a lot of luck. Everybody was struggling. He said, “Why wouldn’t John [Wells, executive producer on ER and The Pitt] reboot ER?” And I gave him this list of why we would never do it again. And then I said, “If there was ever a way, it would have to be very different, but same.” And I came up with a way that involved Noah. I only was going to do it if it was Noah. I knew I would have access to the original footage of ER so I could do scenes with Noah as Dr. John Carter and flash back to him as John Carter as a med student. And never in the history of television has anyone had access to footage of an actor playing the same role 30 years earlier. It never got off the ground, unfortunately. So then HBO said, “We want a medical show. What can we do?” Noah was already involved. John was already involved. And that’s where we started.

And ultimately, you decided to do a series shot in real time.

With Noah playing a doctor and also playing, because we were post COVID, a doctor that I knew from the get go was probably going to be suffering from PTSD… that, between the Robbie character and the 12 hour shift, that was sort of the how it really all started.

The show has been lauded for its realistic portrayal of hospital care and the many details that make it authentic. For example, there’s no music.

That was a big idea to sell. I did at least two episodes of ER without any music, and I knew if it was written in a specific way, you can get by without the music. That was a bit of a challenge. Not everyone was as enthusiastic about the idea, and we even tried putting music in a couple of scenes, and it just doesn’t work. … If you’ve ever been in an ER, it’s noisy, it’s horrible. And the only way to really capture that was to not have any music, so you’re not telling anyone what to feel. 

What type of research goes into writing a show like this?

Research is a huge part of our show. For the mass casualty episode, we went through all the interviews that happened in Las Vegas at the mass shooting there, talked to experts who are responsible for prepping for the mass casualty situations. We even came up with some new things: The slap bands was something that we came up with for identifying patients in triage, to the point where we had people asking where they could get those. 

Which scene was the most challenging for you to write?

I think Robbie’s breakdown was a little difficult. I worked with Noah a lot with that, because it’s very easy for me to write, “Robbie breaks down.” I’m very, very sympathetic about acting, and I really encourage even my writers to spend some time acting so that they understand the dynamics of the scene. Every character has some sort of intention for a scene, and once you learn that, I think it makes you a better writer. So that’s really a collaborative process.

It is eerie that some storylines are playing out the way they are in real life. 

That happens more often than you realize. Our purpose is to predict a little bit. The mass casualty, that happens constantly; the measles outbreak was inevitable. The problems that Medicare and the Medicaid cuts are going to cause are inevitable, because once people can’t afford insurance, where do they go for medical care? They go to the free clinics, or they go to the ER, and they get busier and busier. We’re tapping into the experts all the time to get a leg up on, “What are the concerns?” Especially with medicine, you don’t want to be playing catch-up. Once it’s out in the open, it’s already a problem. And that’s what makes the ER so fundamentally great for storytelling is that everything shows up in the ER, and it usually shows up there before it shows up everywhere else. It’s like the canary in the coal mine. The ER has its pulse on what’s going on with society. 

What can we expect for S2?

Noah’s gonna write two epidodes, and I think he’s gonna direct at least one. He’s directing episode six. He wrote episode three. And I forget what other episode he’s gonna write. I guess he’s bored. We’ll see some new faces, which is nice. We’ll see some new med students and some new doctor faces, we’ll see some of the people from before, some returns. and hopefully we’ll see some revelations about some of our other characters.
