He is a talented but reckless and irascible physician with a sharp wit and intense dedication to his patients and his team, which earns him the respect of the doctors and nurses, but often the ire of the hospital's administrators.

'''Dr. Michael "Robby" Robinavitch''' ([[Noah Wyle]]) is the longtime senior [[attending physician]] at the Pitt. He is a talented but sometimes reckless and irascible physician with a sharp wit and intense dedication to his patients and his team, which earns him the respect of the doctors and nurses, but often the ire of the hospital's administrators. Robby carries intense trauma from losing his mentor, Dr. Adamson, during the [[COVID-19 pandemic]], and avoids working a shift on the anniversary of Adamson's death prior to the events of the first season.

In season 1, Robby arrives for a shift at the Pitt on the fourth anniversary of Adamson's death and spends the day leading an overcrowded, understaffed ER while clashing with hospital leadership over systemic problems. Robby is shattered to learn that Dr. Frank Langdon, his longtime protege, has been stealing [[Benzodiazepine|benzodiazepenes]] from the hospital. After a local music festival mass shooting sends a wave of victims into the hospital, Robby helps lead the emergency response but is devastated when he cannot save Leah, the girlfriend of Jake Malloy, the son of his ex-girlfriend with whom he has a paternal bond. The trauma of the shooting and unresolved grief over Adamson's death culminate in Robby suffering a panic attack, but he ultimately returns to finish the shift and is later comforted by Dana and Jack Abbot.
