Just the other day, Noah Wyle-star of the upcoming show, The Pitt-ironically was playing the old board game Operation and apparently muttering about a possible malpractice suit. DiscussingFilm tweeted a clip of Wyle gingerly attempting to operate the tweezers, captioned, ‘I smell a malpractice suit coming my way.’ And honestly? The internet weighed in.

To break it down, the replies varied from nostalgic to funny to exceptionally chaotic. One user named @WAIGER quipped, ‘ER to HR in record time’, referring to Wyle’s character Dr. John Carter from the long-running television show,’ ER.’ Another, @xwordz, said ironically, ‘A doctor in the making only if he escapes a malpractice lawsuit!’ Big if.
Yet others were having none of it. @EverPeak01 saw the darker side: ‘Humor in malpractice just a reflection of our desensitized society.’ On a philosophical level? Maybe. But it does sound accurate when you consider how frequently medical mishaps become memes these days.
Then, another Twitter user hit the nail on the head with: ‘Haha, Noah Wyle playing Operation is peak irony! Hope Dr. Robby in ‘The Pit’ has steadier hands than I do with that buzzer.’ Yet the odd part is, Wyle appears in ‘The Pitt’ as a surgeon, making this little video an oddly effective promo.
Some replies were just pure gold: @SleekMetaX: ‘Noah Wyle out here turning a board game into a legal drama lmao method acting never sleeps fr.’ While @JKLM0521 commented plainly, ‘Looks like someone’s about to lose their medical license 😂.’
All nice and sweet, but then, @barrybufano said, ‘Didn’t expect to like The Pitt but it went on to become my favourite show of the year!’ To which @ImJustMeAbel proceeded, ‘man seriously just picked up an addiction to this show last week 😭.’ The hype is real.
There were comments saying, ‘Who still plays this game?’ directed toward you, @scoutz_”, whereas @NRelikk clapped back: ‘A lot of people lol. I recently bought it for my 3rd graders.’ So yeah, Operation is still very much a thing.
The conversation quickly took an uproarious turn from there, courtesy of @umokwhataboutit, who gave a shocking response: ‘Need him to operate my h0le.’ Next!
A light moment that re-sparked all of the love for Noah Wyle. Whether it be avoiding malpractice suits in a board game or genuinely performing surgery on media, the man definitely knows how to keep us entertained. One thing this video shows is that The Pitt is bound to be on everyone’s radar.

Prepare for more Wyle shenanigans in and outside of the workplace, and learning though today was: take the actor out of the medical drama, but never the medical drama out of the actor. Probably something along those lines.
