Last week, Dr. Brian Goldman dropped by to talk about her experiences working in a Toronto hospital's emergency room. He's been doing so since 1982, and has written several books about it, including his recent The Casino Shift.
On Toronto Mike'd, I asked Dr. Brian Goldman was The Pitt gets right and what The Pitt gets wrong when it comes to emergency medecine. If you've watched season two of The Pitt, you'll know it leans very hard on the "wounded healer" trope. Heck, season two is all about wounded healers. Dr. Brian Goldman tells me that's bullshit.
Blame Carl Jung. He created the term "wounded healer" stating that an analyst is compelled to treat patients because the analyst himself is "wounded."
