Choosing Dignity vs. Machines for a Loved One | Chicago Med | MD TV 

its protocol tho

​@@anvipandey7937 not to listen to a patient? He could be telling you something vital for his health

I agree 💯💯

You mean Choy

​@@juliamclane8319No. It's spelled Choi.

Dr. Choi is my favourite character at the show ❤️

agreed

Yeah I thought the same thing. This took me by surprise. She wasn’t ready for him to go. 🥹

@@jilla-dr9hu First loves are hard to let go of I've been here

It's hard to let someone you care about go.

As an ER/ICU/Trauma Nurse, I can't believe a Hospital Administrator would violate the Code of Ethics, the Patient's Bill of Rights, her own Hospital Protocols, the Patient's right to privacy; considering Goodwin is NOT next of kin nor his wife; and she violated the Patient's right to die with dignity and no pain. With lung pressure that high, increasing vent O2 levels and pressure WILL "blow out" the Patient's lungs. Inserting a Ballon Pump/ECMO would blow out that Patient's already "fryable" heart. Goodwin violated standards of practice by committing a "conflict of interest".......which is why doctors and nurses are forbidden to treat or perform surgery on their own families and loved ones. Whoever the writers used for medical consults for this episode, are obviously very uneducated to the knowledge of the medical field and the real workings of a hospital. Goodwin would be fired by the GM or the Board for wasting Hospital resources on such a patient. Over-kill in treating a dying patient is extremely forbidden per Hospital protocols in all hospitals. Expenditures wasted on this nonviable patient is what causes medical care costs to increase to the point people can NEVER afford medical care or insurance. That is why protocols were put in place by all healthcare facilities......to prevent this kind of bad decision making and behavior. AND.....NO human being, who becomes so critically ill, wants to suffer through being poked, prodded, and put through tests and treatments that have no chance of curing that human being.😢 Just an emormous truth to let people know how we should all be able to die with dignity when there is no chance of recovery. Society has lost it's sense of BASIC HUMAN DECENCY. This episode was an exact example of just how lost we human beings have become. IF you truly love someone, anyone....you must have the COURAGE to love that patient enough to let him/her GO.❤

i mean, being reasonable is slightly difficult when your close friend is dying.

Omg

This happened with my bil. His mum couldn't let him go and it was heartbreaking standing back and watching her shake him, asking him to open his eyes one last time 😭😭😭

Of course you’re not going to have two employees overly emotional. That’s just bad writing.

Honestly, Halstead and Choi have always been 1000% more emotional than her. If she were a man, no one would be criticising her.

@@hexes5122 I judge anyone in this show who was overly-emotional.

@@foolslayer9416 sooooo you judge all of them basically

@@hexes5122 Except for Dr. Abrams and Dr. Latham.

Yeah that’s the whole point

If you were caring for an immediate loved one v stranger there’s innate bias …we’re just ppl

I don’t think that’s true. I think they all give good care to all patients as a rule.

Uhh, this wasn't Goodwin advocating for "good care"... she is the most morally consistent people on the show. This was her moment of being unreasonable.

Not always worth doing because the odds are so low.

house had a case of strongyloides but even that hadn't reached the skin yet. if the worms had already perforated his intestines and caused that severe of GI bleeding, it wouldn't even matter if they could kill off the infection, his insides are already swiss cheese.

@@dietotakudo you remember in what season was that case?

@@jessp.r.7181Season 2 Episode 7

​@@jessp.r.7181 Season 2 Episode 7😊

Unfortunately it usually means death is near in most Chicago Med episodes.

So sorry to hear that. But by making a choice, hopefully in writing, at least your family will know of your wishes before they are forced to choose for you.😢

@@cindyzwyns7186 I wrote my will long time ago I made a video about it..but confirmed terminal recently.. I'm actually (, relieved) because none of my conditions have a cure and I'm in constant pain. Thanks for the support 🌸

My mom was a cancer patient with pancreatic and liver cancer diagnosed 10/28/2013 and then she was diagnosed with terminal pancreatic and liver cancer on January 5th 2014 and died 2/10/2014 and she was Bearly 60yrs when she died last Month would have been her 70th birthday on August 22nd/2023

Sorry to hear that. You have my sympathies. I hope you find peace when the time comes for you.

I would too, honestly.

Same I love pd and fire to thoo

sharon goodwin.

@@vettech_ thank uou

Actresses name is S Epatha, you may have seen her on a high blood pressure allergy/cold med commercial a few years ago. She was also on Law and Order. Great actress

I totally agree! I’m not a doctor so forgive me. But at the same time, her emotions are understandable Yk? Like we all would want to save our loved ones right?😢

@sjtait6919 .....yes.....it's understandable. But Goodwin was NOT allowed to intervene as she was not his wife or family. Her relationship with her "first love" is a "conflict of interest." Therefore, Goodwin, by law, must not interfere. Goodwin became a huge legal liability for the hospital. She crossed a line that could have gotten her fired. And I get losing a soulmste, as my beloved late husband died at a young age. As a Nurse, I could not take his care as a Nurse, while he was hospitalized. Anyway.... I hope my explanation helps.😉☺️
