The Pitt is a medical drama television series on Max that depicts healthcare workers' struggles during a hectic 15-hour emergency room shift at fictional Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Hospital. The series has been lauded for its authenticity in portraying medical emergencies and the psychological pressure healthcare workers endure.
During episode 11, the viewers met Dr. Cassie's ex-husband Chad Ashcroft, played by Robert Heaps.
