The trickle down of these things not being enacted will affect all of us eventually,&#8221; Wyle said.<\/p>\n<p>Wyle-Katz told &#8220;CBS Mornings&#8221; that nurses are advocates for their patients, and that she believes they are not adequately compensated.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Nurses can&#8217;t bill for their time and their skills. Whenever there&#8217;s a budget cut, the nurses are the first to go.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Beyond finances, Wyle-Katz expressed concerns about safety in the workplace for nurses and health care workers.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When patients come to the hospital, they&#8217;re either injured or sick, and they&#8217;re very afraid. They&#8217;re not seen often in a timely manner, which leads to frustration, which escalates to anger,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Wyle&#8217;s career on health care TV shows<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Wyle, who starred in &#8220;ER&#8221; for more than a decade, said he wanted to create &#8220;The Pitt&#8221; to show what it&#8217;s like to work as a frontline health care worker and the toll it&#8217;s taken on medical professionals, both mentally and physically, following the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This was intended to be a love letter to frontline workers, health care workers, to let them feel very seen and heard right now,&#8221; Wyle said. &#8220;&#8216;ER&#8217; was a wonderful depiction of health care in America pre-COVID, but there hadn&#8217;t really been a show that was addressing what was happening post-COVID yet.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Wyle said he is thankful for his mom, who he jokingly said has always been there to ensure accuracy.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;She&#8217;s got a whole army out there working on her behalf to point out my discrepancies,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He always says that I called him at 11:01 p.m. and told him what he did wrong. Now since, through the internet, now he has about 16 million moms who can tell him,&#8221; Wyle-Katz added.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I want to tell you how much I admire Noah, and all the people on &#8220;The Pitt,&#8221; for bringing health care to the forefront and all the crises happening now in our health care system and for making their show a platform for change,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"chartbeat\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation component--type-recirculation-collection\">\n<\/aside>\n<p>    <!-- tags --><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author\">\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/search\/author\/kelsie-hoffman\/\" class=\"content-author__name\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Kelsie  Hoffman<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author__bio\">\n<div class=\"content-author__full-information\">\n<p class=\"content-author__text\">Kelsie Hoffman is a push and platform editor on CBS News&#8217; Growth and Engagement team.
