Today, we’re diving into an episode of The Pitt to review a short but powerful plot about polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), seeking care as a black woman, and the ways patients can fall through the cracks of our failing healthcare system. When a patient arrives at The Pitt in excruciating pain, she is *almost* dismissed once again when her pain subsides. But when it comes back, the emergency docs treating her have to diagnose a rare but potentially severe complication: ovarian torsion. We've reacted to every obgyn-related plot of The Pitt so far, with mixed but mostly positive results. How will they do this time?
