Warning - The rest of this article contains spoilers for The Pitt Season 1, Episode 12.
Why Does Dr. Langdon Steal the Medicine in The Pitt Episode 10?
“This Is Not an Uncommon Problem for People Who Work In Emergency Medicine.”
Patrick Ball: I think this is not an uncommon problem for people who work in emergency medicine.
This happens all the time.
And you might say, why?
Like, I come My parents are both emergency workers.
My dad’s a lifelong paramedic, and my mom’s a lifelong ER nurse.
And so I know, to some extent, just the toll that this work can have on somebody.
How many people did he lose?
But as a kid, they wouldn’t talk about their work to me.
They were just good parents.
Patrick Ball: Yeah.
I mean, it’s a tough situation, you know?
And this is high-stakes poker that we’re playing.
Like, if I’m a little bit high, and I make a wrong call, people die.
So, I understand why Robbie does what he does.
It’s definitely the responsible and legally sound thing to do.
Patrick Ball: It’s a spicy relationship, for sure.
I think Santos is great.
[You want someone who] wants the ball.
They want to be on the front lines.
Now, her appetite and her ambition kind of outreach her experience and her ability.
And so I think there’s probably a little bit of reflection there.
And so yeah, It’s fun.
So that’s a blessing.
Patrick Ball: No, no, I don’t think he went anywhere.
Well, he’s, you gotta think about it.
I’ve got a wife and kids at home.
As soon as I go home, I’m gonna have to explain to my wife what happened.
And I don’t think I’m particularly excited and eager to jump into that conversation.
And so what I do whenever I’m released.
I guess that’s up for the audience to imagine, but I don’t think I wander far.
What Is Dr. Langdon Thinking When He Returns in The Pitt Episode 12?
“I Give Us the Best Shot to Win.”
Patrick Ball: Sort of the same thing I was saying about Santos.
What you want from a doctor is somebody who wants the ball, and Langdon wants the ball.
It’s like Kobe Bryant when the game’s on the line.
I give us the best shot to win.
We got a major catastrophe here.
A lot of people are in critical condition.
A lot of people are going to die.
And I know that I give them as good of a shot as anybody.
Drugs or no drugs, I know that I’m the man for the moment.
Patrick Ball: Yeah, exactly.

And I think it’s the same thing with Langdon.
And so we’ll deal with the repercussions of my choices long term.
Patrick Ball: It’s just really interesting because now the thing is naked, right?
Like the conflict has been addressed.
And that is a really interesting problem for us to have.
So, yeah, I think there’s a lot more story to be mined there.
“I Kind of Still Feel Like Somebody Made Mistake Somewhere.”
Patrick Ball: Yeah man, it’s nuts, it’s the Hollywood classic.
You know, I graduated from drama school, like two years ago.
The Pittis now streaming on Max.
