#462 - [Neo News] - 📌 What Does The Pitt Get Right About Boundaries in Medicine?

Send us Fan MailA medical student on The Pitt finishes her shift, is asked to stay, and tells her supervisor to learn some boundaries. The internet did not let it go. Ben and Eli use that moment to work through what boundary setting actually looks like in a NICU, why a tired clinician makes different decisions at three in the morning than at three in the afternoon, and where duty hours collide with the fact that patients do not arrive on a curriculum. Also, why handing a resident your pager at two PM may be the cheapest patient safety intervention available.----Haridasani Gupta A. On "The Pitt," She Clocked Out on Time.
