The season two finale of HBO Max's The Pitt featured a storyline that highlighted Noah Wyle's suicidal thoughts. The showrunner, R. Scott Gemmill, stated that the episode shows what can happen if you don't take the time to resolve mental health issues. The American College of Emergency Physicians and the American Medical Association have highlighted that around 300-400 physicians a year die by suicide. The episode's storyline also included a discussion with Dr. Abbot (Shawn Hatosy) about Robby's mental health, who was previously referred to as an example of what should be done when one is struggling. Despite this, Gemmill hopes that Robby finally gets some treatment.
