The Pitt's Shabana Azeez Reacts to Actors Doing Medical Procedures IRL

‘The Pitt' Star Shabana Azeez Cheekily Asks Actors to "Leave Medical Emergencies" to Real Doctors

Shabana Azeez is calling a code blue on some very confident stars.

Indeed, the Pitt actress shared her thoughts on actors who star in medical shows and believe they could actually perform medical or surgical procedures off set.

"All these actors are walking around and being like, 'I could intubate somebody,'" Azeez exclusively told Live From E!: 2026 Emmys' Justin Sylvester on Sept. 14. "No, you couldn't."

She continued, "You would panic! The adrenaline would be coursing through your body, and you would pass out."

Although Azeez knows she couldn't perform any procedure IRL, she's more than confident bringing her medical school character Victoria Javadi to life in the HBO series, which is nominated for 25 awards, including Outstanding Drama Series. (See more stars on the red carpet here.)

"No, no, no, no, no, because that's not real," she said of her onscreen medical work. "I do panic on set about other things, like when are the snacks coming, you know, real problems. But with medical emergencies, I leave that for the doctors."
