Chicago Med Recap
Bert was back at the hospital. He agreed to do further testing to see if he has dementia. He has a family history of it and his children have also noticed he hasn’t been himself lately. Only getting to this point wasn’t easy. He didn’t want to acknowledge he had a problem. He didn’t want to face it if it was what they all imagined it to be.
Bert agreed to testing. He could do that. It was the other parts he wasn’t too sure about. His ex-wife was the one reminding him to tell their kids everything no matter the results. Sharon was also going to check his file if he tries to back out of that and her privileges at the hospital has ensured that he could hide from everyone else. Just not her!
It was a busy day in the ED. There was a shooting. There was a bar brawl. There were also simple winter injuries like falling.
Dr. Ripley caught the only victim of that shooting. His name was Lucas and he was suffering from internal bleeding. He had to be rushed to the OR. It wasn’t long after that Ripley was told another patient was asking for him.
The second patient’s name was Robert Sullivan. He was an old friend of Ripley’s. He got into a huge bar brawl. He had to be taken to the hospital for his injuries and the guy couldn’t wait to get out of there.
Robert was hoping Ripley could save him from having to deal with the other doctors. There was just one problem with that – Ripley didn’t seem like his old friend much. He was in no rush to do this man a favor. He hated that his past was brought once again in front of Dr. Charles.
Charles knows too much about him for Ripley to feel comfortable around him. They both know that Rip was a hellion in his younger days. He used to run the streets ragged with Robert. He had to be institutionalized. Ripley had turned his life around since then.
Robert never did. He got into a fight with two guys because they were talking smack about the Bulls. His basketball team was apparently worth getting beaten up. He has several cuts on his face. He has a boxer fracture with one of his hands from punching a guy. He also was a jerk to everyone other than Ripley.
Charles had to call Ripley in because Robert was being a problem. He was creating a scene. He was shouting at the nurses. The security team didn’t know whether to wait until he was treated or kick him out before then.
Robert couldn’t go anywhere though because he might get arrested after treatment. He let Ripley treat him because he thought they could joke and laugh about the old days. When Ripley wasn’t keeping constant eye on him, Robert was roaming around trying to find a place to smoke.
Something he couldn’t do in a hospital. Charles had to march back to his room. Ripley came back and it wasn’t good news. He did his due diligence with all the tests. He told Robert he has cancer. He has lung cancer. It was probably from smoking everyday.
Robert didn’t want to hear he had cancer. He was willing to sign any forms to get him to leave. He didn’t care he would die without treatment. He thought that Ripley was throwing around words to scare him. Like cancer was a joke. Like Ripley wasn’t an actual doctor.
Ripley was getting Robert to sign consent forms to leave while Dr. Archer was dealing with a teenage boy. The boy’s name was Caleb. Caleb was shot twice last year. He went through several surgeries. His mother has figured out a care plan for him after he returned home from the hospital.
It’s just Caleb was missing out on his future. He was a basketball player. His injuries haven’t fully healed enough for him to get a corrective surgery that will allow him to play basketball again. Much sooner than before.
In time to be spotted by college scouts. Caleb felt he was missing out on a future he wants. He wasn’t even supposed to be outside tonight when he went out because he got bored being in Chicago. He was originally from California. He didn’t know nothing about snow. He fell. He ruptured one of his sutures and Archer treated him.
Archer realized they could do the corrective surgery now as well. His mother Deb refused to sign off on it. She and her son have been through a trauma. She trusts their doctors back in California. She doesn’t want to rush anything or take a risk. Maggie understands her.
Maggie went through a divorce. A different kind of trauma, but still a trauma all the same. Maggie has been sleeping in the on call room because she doesn’t like returning home to an empty house. She needed to deal with future. And so did Deb.
Maggie talked Deb into agreeing to the corrective surgery. Archer was marching Caleb into surgery when things unraveled in the ED. Ripley had tried talking to Robert again. Robert still was refusing to believe he had cancer. Dr. Charles couldn’t sanction the hospital treating Robert against his wishes.
Ripley then tried to physically stop Robert from leaving the hospital. The two of them got into a fight. Dr. Charles and security broke it up. Robert was allowed to leave the hospital. And Ripley once again lost his cool in front of the man he knew knows him best at the hospital.
Sometimes good intentions aren’t enough. Dr. Ahmad learned that when she gave a patient an expensive antibiotic because she didn’t want to use the old meds that she had problems with once. The old and new meds have a huge price difference. Her patient’s insurance will most likely charge Adriana for the difference.
Archer yelled at Ahmad when he spotted what she did. He came back from Caleb’s successive surgery to find out that Ahmad made another mistake and that’s why he took her to task. Ahmad can’t go off half-cock anymore. It’s what got her thrown out of her last two hospitals.
Ahmad then continued going down a bad path by talking Adriana out of surgery.
There was a simple procedure to get rid of her blood clot. Ahmad undermined that procedure as well as Dr. Marcel to the patient. She thought maybe everyone was right about her being a hot head. She’s been at the hospital a month and she’s already ticked off the board plus get assigned an ethics course.
What she did with Adriana was her trying to course correct. She tried to be cautious and all it did was upset Marcel. Maybe should she try silence next.
Ahmad later learned a secret. She learned the expensive meds she used was manufactured by a new board member at the hospital and so what he was doing by getting a sweetheart deal wasn’t entirely ethical. There were rules in place against that.
Only Marcel once again reminded her that her sole focus should be on the patient. Not on the pharmaceutical industrial complex. Ahmad seemed to listen to Marcel more than anyone. Let’s see if his advice was the one that finally got through to the stubborn Dr. Ahmad in the next few weeks
Bert meanwhile learned he has dementia. He now knows it’s the worst case scenario. He didn’t want to talk to Sharon about his results and so she went to his doctor. She learned that he does have dementia. Alzheimer’s form of it.
She told Dr. Charles. She was trying to figure out the best way to tell her children when her daughter calls her in a panic. It had something to do about Bert. He wasn’t answering anyone’s calls. His kids were worried he did something to himself.
Sharon left with Charles to check on Bert. And he was alive, he just was confused.
And while Ripley didn’t get reported, he did have a few drinks with Robert at the end of the day hoping to change his mind.
The End!
