This is The Indicator from Planet Money.
I'm Adrian Ma.
And I'm Waylon Wong.
Adrian, do you watch the show The Pit?
You know, the medical drama.
It's on HBO Max about an emergency room.
Do I?
I love The Pit.
Do you really?
I love to be stressed out.
It's very compelling.
Well, you probably remember then this episode from March where a couple
of ICE agents come into the ER with a woman they've detained in a raid.
And their presence at the hospital spooks the patients and the staff.
And then the attending physician, played by Noah Wiley, gets really upset about the disruption.
I'm already short-staffed and I just lost five nurses and half my environmental services team because you walked in.
You know, patients come in here for help, right?
Because they're either sick or they're injured.
And documented or undocumented, they have a right to emergency care.
