The<\/i>\u00a0Pitt<\/i> is one of the few medical dramas doctors don\u2019t roll their eyes at. It's been hailed<\/a> for its portrayal of exhaustion, heartbreak, and the impossible math of trying to care inside a broken system. Now, a new USC study shows the series is doing more than mirroring real life. Following the show\u2019s debut, discussions and sign-ups around organ donation and end-of-life care have gone up<\/a>, with viewers reporting they\u2019re more likely to have those tough but important conversations. The study noted that the impact was especially great among Black audiences, who are overrepresented on transplant waitlists and underrepresented among donors. Art imitating life\u2026 and maybe improving it. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
