I guess i just cant turn my brain off to that stuff.

My mother watches the show and has worked in varying departments of health care for about 40 years. She says it is quite accurate and probably the most realistic depiction of an ER she has seen on TV - and she watches a TON of them.
I like to think of The Pitt as the medical drama for adults. It has its overplayed dramatics and convenient plot points, but it's not like what is offered on network television.
