stupid protocols would've literally turned that woman into an amputee. she was in the safest possible place and he took every precaution. she had a reaction, he managed and resolved it, and she was able to take the available antibiotic to treat her condition without needing major surgery. it's a win all the way around.

Given he had resources held from him, he got consent for treatment, he did fine given what he had available

I love dr. Halstead reaction when the patient was having anaphylaxis. That's how we do on hospital: we're calm, we are direct, we try our best to help the patients. Period. I hate how many scenes in med dramas show panic doctors screaming and cursing.

The American healthcare system from an outsider's perspective seems so silly it is one of the wealthiest countries in the world, but they can't provide good health care to their citizens. Even simple things like an ambulance coming out to a patient costs money. I find that just crazy.

Dr Halstead is literally a genius. I wonder why Chicago Med did not show his this genius aspect more. Every time they showed him as reckless, disobedient, and rude. But he is a gifted doctor and has a very fast working brain. His ability to think of alternatives should have been explored more. Also, for the first time I saw an Indian patient in the series.

The writers of med constantly enjoyed putting halstead in trouble

Protocols make patients even more sicker

This shows how hospitals actually function. Its not about saving lives, they are a business trying to make the most money for the least loss.

I feel like they could've made her sign a consent form. Just to you know, make sure the consent was there😆 Either way, I'm glad that it worked out.

[Vee_breeze]

Great but stupid call, but he saved her life and her dream.

[genevievearchbaker]

He did what he could, yes it would've been better to avoid the entire situation, but he couldnt

It’s the same guidelines and protocols here in the UK and us doctors have our hands tied !!!

Actually Miss Goodwin this would hold up extremely well in court only thing a doctor needs in order to do something to a patient is their consent the lady said yes I understand the risks that I might have to be intubated and then I’m taking something I’m allergic to at first she wasn’t on board with it but she did agree to it which I’m sorry would hold up in court the only thing they could say is that she might’ve been coerced but she wasn’t you can tell by how she asks she’s nervous at first she takes a second and then she says OK I will do it nobody talks to her about how all you should do this or all you would live longer nobody is trying to coerce her into making the decision she made it on her own she told the doctor this is what I want and I agree with your treatment plan even though I don’t think it will work that’s all they they would need in court she consented to the procedure so it happened. Any jury would look at that and say hey we’re talking about a procedure that she agreed to and the doctor explained to her I don’t see the doctor being guilty for that literally anyone in the quart room would listen to Dr. Halsted say I had her full consent and I had explained the risks they would all agree. It is not a crime what he did if he gave it to her without her, knowing it would be a crime if he lied and said the drugs she was allergic to was the other drug could be in trouble, but I don’t think he should be in trouble right now he literally saved her life. I feel like Miss Goodwin is literally just too conscientious I understand she’s in charge of the hospital. This is her hospital and she needs to make sure. everything goes right, but she goes a little too far this berating Dr. Halsted because he saved someone’s life is absolutely too far

[jessicapeck]

Goodwin too much pride over hospital but let Halstead will trie his best for his patients

[brookeferguson]

I was scared to be sick and sickening to my stomach to heal the pain to recover from surgery or treatment for severe swelling is required for any medical emergency surgery heart lung surgery to ensure a safety protection for denying the condition for health conditions

"I need some semblance of order in the ED"
Miss Goodwin? With all due respect, you'd have better luck finding a quiet NICU, than an ED that isn't absolute chaos

[becky]

This happened to me in real life seriously sick
