knowing this actor passed away, watching this is actually sad.
RIP Joey, you seemed like a great actor

[emmashuffle]

That walk out of the hospital afterward is hardest thing to do and the strangest feeling… that poor father.

[ayanoaishi]

Seeing the dad walk out of the hospital broke my heart

[papaCmahns]

Damn, I came to comment on how good this dude was as an actor. I had no idea he had passed. RIP my dude

[gracelodzinski]

this actor was fantastic. that’s exactly how a normal person would react in this situation. he makes the doctors seem plastic and fake by comparison.

[juliannamaness]

I suffer from pre diabetes but I’m working on losing weight and I don’t wanna end up like him 🥺🥺🥺

[XoXoVENOMoXo]

Such a great actor, it was very sad to see him go so soon :(

This is exactly why I chose to work in a laboratory, and not the ER. I don’t think anybody will ever know how horrible it feels to have to tell a family their loved one is dead, because there was nothing you could do to save them, no matter how hard you tried, it just was not possible. I lasted two years in the ER before I went back to university to teach for a while, and then went to the laboratory, I couldn’t live with telling people such horrific news on my soul. I felt like it was my fault, no matter what the circumstances were, despite us being taught professional detachment, I never could fully put my emotions aside. I would literally go into the office area, close the door, and bawl my eyes out like a child. When I realized it begin to affect my life, whether I was at work or not, I knew I had to leave, because you can’t take it with you, and if you’re not able to do that, you have no place being in the ER. I have a passion for helping others, I always have, I always knew I wanted to be a doctor, but I had no idea of how hard it would be to stand before a family and tell them they will never see their loved one again. I felt like such a failure, and to some extent I still do, I just don’t have what it takes to work in emergency medicine, and I greatly admire those who do. But I also love working in the lab, we have found new treatments and new cures never before seen. It’s a lengthy and timely process, but DEEPLY fulfilling when you know that something you created is saving lives, I just wish I wasn’t so damn emotional!

Joey Morgan
August 11, 1993 - November 21, 2021

* For those of you that don’t know, that was the actor who played this young patient. Yes, he unfortunately died in real life at age 28.

[trialsemail]

This is why it is so so important to take care of your health

[jeannehall]

Such a sad case here. Sadder still that Joey Morgan, who played this young man, passed away shortly thereafter. Rest In Peace Joey.😢

My whole family has had gallstones. You can have them for years before they cause a huge issue. I have to watch what I eat, because if I eat too much of something (salt, sugar, whatever) I will be in for a rough time. Other than that, I am average health.

[blythetran]

Joey is so cool. His voice (at least to me!) doesn't match his body (he feels ten years older and has such a mature voice!), but he has such grace. One of my favorite 'patients' from Chicago Med series <3

[akChianie]

Dr manning just ignored the fluid in morrison's pouch on ultrasound @1:02 XD (not to mention she diagnosed gallstones without a formal gallbladder view, although you can probably still see the gallbladder+stones on a RUQ scan)

[CheyD]

The amount of times I've witnessed someone go into diabetic seizures and almost go into full coma is ridiculous.
Here's your sign to change your life and diet. It's extremely traumatic to watch people almost die multiple times, all for something treatable.

[tgbluewolf]

He sounded so relaxed for a pain level 12, especially if it was sudden at pressure 😅

[uhhidk]

Gallstones are not a heavier people’s problem. Before the problem I weighed like 130lbs then started losing weight rapidly. Eventually I weighed only 116lbs and had a BMI of 17.5 when I had my gallbladder removed. I eventually went back up to around 125lbs after the surgery.

Edit: clarified measurements since not everyone uses lbs

[Rhonettala]

This is why it's important for doctors to look past a person's weight and stop focusing on what they can see with their eyes. Health issues don't revolve around whether or not you're at an "ideal" weight and medical professionals need to step up and recognize that.

[TideasOfficial]

Would love for the show to follow the patient to see them dealing with the hospital bill afterward.

I feel sad for his death at the age of 21. 😭😭
