The Pitt Interview: Shabana Azeez on Why Javadi’s TikTok Matters More Than You Think

Shabana Azeez’s Dr. Victoria Javadi is still finding her footing in many ways at the Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center ER, but The Pitt Season 2, Episode 4, “10:00 A.M.,” just revealed that she has an especially strong voice elsewhere — on TikTok.In Episode 2, we met a woman (Elysia Roorbach) who accidentally used superglue to apply her lashes. In Episode 4, when Langdon (Patrick Ball) can’t get her out the door fast enough, she insists on seeing the “best doctor in Pittsburgh,” a doctor going by the name Dr. J on TikTok. Turns out, Dr. Javadi is a megastar on MedTok.While one might be quick to label it a light and fun Episode 4 storyline, this new layer of Dr. Javadi’s world has loads to say about her, and also about the nature of social media apps and the inaccessibility of academia. While on Collider Ladies Night, Azeez took a moment to explain what put Dr. Javadi on the TikTok path. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
