She wasn't abusing her daughter, she was just overly concerned about her safety #clips #highlights

Chicago Med, the second spin-off of Chicago Fire, follows the daily work of one of the city's busiest hospitals - a team of fearless doctors and nurses who stick together and take any risk. Every time a patient needs help in a particular event (disaster), or has a problem that other doctors can't solve, it's their turn. At the same time, they develop a tight bond in the chaos of the emergency room and get through it together. According to NBC's conception, the show, Chicago Fire and Chicago PD often swap characters and plots, so that the three teams (three shows) can be organically integrated.

I think both are valid. They HAVE to check to see if Mindi really was being abused, but clearly no one has checked up on this woman and gotten her help..

[alicemarshall]

Like the director lady said in another episode one time "every child protective service will swoop in at the first sign of abuse to help the child but who's willing to swoop in when it's a mother struggling and in need of extra help"

Dr. Charles is such a wonderful man and an excellent doctor. He listened to the mother, paid attention to her behavior, and realized that she wasn’t abusing her baby…she was just so scared that her daughter would die from the smallest of things because she was born very prematurely.

My mother is a nurse. A damn good one too. When i was less than a year old, she took me to my doctor because i wasnt gaining weight ans she was worried. The doctor told her to just feed me more but my mom saod it wasnt that and somwthing was wrong. She went for a second opinion and that doctor told her i was fine, and when she pushed thatvsoemtjing was wrong he accused her of making it up for attention. Took me to a third doctor who FINALLY told her i wasnt retaining nutrients from my food and treated me for it. Sometimes, you nust have to trust your gut when it comes to your child, no matter what a professional tells you/gaslights you into believing.

The sad part is mother is red flagged in many hospitals, that means nobody in those hospitals paid atte tion to mother and jumped to conclusions that she might be absuing her daughter. Imagine if Dr. Charles didn't talk to her either. She would have been red flagged again and would have lost her child to child rotective services. That can further affect her mental health.

After 4 miscarriages and losing her twin, my much wanted daughter was finally born. I was hyper vigilant as I knew she was going to be my only one. I suffered PND which was not diagnosed until she was 4 years old, which by that time it had released me, but I'll never get those 4 years back.

This happened in my own family. Baby came too early and was really really tiny. The Mum spent nearly 3 months in hospital every day with baby. She was 4 lbs when left home. Everything was washed, rewashed and sterilised everyday. Mums hands were burnt from constant use of bleach etc cleaning. But it eventually got better with time. Mum became more confident and better able to cope. She relaxed as baby improved. Later had more children and the last one is almost feral

[thespectrumclub]

My mom was and is still the same way with me. 23 years and she still can't see past that sick little baby girl she worries about all the time.

[claratalbot]

The sad part is that so many hospitals just red flagged her as someone who may be abusing her daughter. Not that they shouldn't be doing that but rather that they didn't check in on the mom's behavior too. If Dr. Charles hadn't done it then they could have ended up accidentally separating a mother from her child instead of helping her cope with her PTSD. To often people just assume PTSD only happens to soldiers, but it can happen to anyone who had gone through a traumatic experience

I had PPP after giving birth to my daughter and it was so ducking terrifying and the only person who actually cared was my husband— having a good husband alone being an absolute blessing because some fathers would dip in that situation. It took months to get diagnosed because everyone is so concerned about the baby that they’ll only care about you if you’re a direct threat to the baby. I wasn’t, but I was constantly terrified because I couldn’t trust my own senses. Now when people pressure me to have another child and tell me I’m selfish for not giving her a sibling, I remind them that being healthy and sane is a far more important thing to give my already existing child than a sibling, and her sense of safety with me is more valuable than a hypothetical second child.

I gave birth to a daughter @30 weeks. She was 1lb 11 oz 12.5 in. She was smaller than the plush animal we bought for her.
She was in NICU from 12/29 -3/24.
The first night I had her home I was up all night to make sure she was ok. I would watch her between feedings.
I understand the mother's fear. I was literally her at one point (the feelings & fear)
My daughter is 27 now and very healthy.

[therarestphoenix]

I truly admire Dr. Charles. He doesn't jump to negative conclusions or make rash diagnoses without all the facts he collects himself.
Imagine having to endure watching your baby fight for its life. Watching like a hawk to see your baby's chest rise and fall with each tiny breath. Having that constant fear of " what if I close my eyes for a second and my baby stops breathing and dies because I fell asleep? "
The love a mother's heart holds is more powerful than man can EVER imagine or even understand.

[lightinthedarkness]

Even giving birth without any complications is traumatic. Women endure trauma like it's just another day.

[freedombawden]

I Know exactly how she feels. I lost a daughter that was seemingly perfectly healthy of SIDS at 3 months, and I still, on her four year mark check my almost two year old little boy, 3 year old, and 6 year old autistic son multiple times each night. I test that my 1 year old is breathing still constantly, and the lack of sleep can have its own effects as well. I’m very hypersensitive to any medical trouble they may have and terrified constantly of losing another child. This is very real

[KN-wrst]

Yep I agree, Mom needs help. She is traumatized

[carriebaker]

I almost lost my middle daughter at 20 weeks into that pregnancy. I can believe being hyper-vigiliance over a child. I was with her all her 23years of her life.

[claudiapatriciamonroyanaya]

No one imagines how hard the first year of a first new born is. I, being a mom of 2, had so many nights of no sleep and moments when I was so tired that I couldn’t think I could make it through the years.

Moms are special and they have to be taken care of. Moms should have help once in a while to be healthy and happy. We are all human beings that need love and care too

[windwhisper]

Something similar to this happened to me ( Better now). Please pay attention and help the mother, she is traumatized.

[RancidGravy]

Same. It was years before I could get through the night without constantly checking that she was breathing. I tried talking about my anxiety several time and was blown off by asshole neglectful doctors. It never goes away, especially with invalidation.

[dianawatton]

I went through this with my premature son. I was afraid to go to sleep for fear he would stop breathing.
