Dr. Samira Mohan wanted to simply keep working despite everything that happened.
Warning - The rest of this article contains spoilers for The Pitt Season 1, Episode 15.
But It was clear that this wasn’t the most healthy reaction to everything that’s happened.
Supriya Ganesh: I think she’s hit this career high in a way, right?
So there’s definitely that adrenaline rush from that.
I think she’s just like, let’s just keep going.
Let’s just ensure that we can hit everything we possibly can.
I’m gonna save more people.
But I think she also really just doesn’t want to go home.
As McKay says, This job can be your life.
Like, I kind of go like, why would you say that?
There’s no one to decompress with.
Let’s just go home.
Why are you guys, you know, working on me?
And so I feel really grateful to have the opportunity to tell that story.
Supriya Ganesh: Scott was incredibly detailed when we had the character talk before we started filming.
So, he essentially gave me a good house of Bucha wood, and I decorated it a bunch.
I think that’s what viewers are responding to.
I mean, I honestly have no idea what’s going on with Season 2.
I would love to know as much as you.
So, yeah, I think we’ll go back soon.
And I think that’s what makes her amazing.
She’s fighting in a system that doesn’t really want her to exist there.
And she says, No, fuck you system.
So, yeah, I mean, honestly, I just think that’s really cool.
And I think she’s the bang out of doctor that any patient would love to have.
Supriya Ganesh: For sure.
And to Santos' credit, she like takes that.
But I think because the characters are so different.
I think Dr. Mohan maybe went, Oh, I don’t know if our methods really gel.
I didn’t give this person enough credit.
So absolutely, I do think those relationships definitely evolved as the shift went on.
As a patient, you want a doctor who is a patient advocate.
I want a doctor who’s a patient advocate.
So I think, as a patient, and most viewers are patients, right?
You really glob onto that, and you really root for this doctor.
It is because of how many roadblocks and setbacks there are to people getting care.
I think he always knew that I was an incredible doctor.
I mean, that’s what Noah would tell me when we were filming some of our confrontation scenes.
And that’s really satisfying.
