[ # ] Chicago Med is just what the doctor ordered!
November 17th, 2015 under Dick Wolf, NBC


If you are like me and you have been wanting a medical drama that has the heart of St Elsewhere, ER and Chicago Hope, then Chicago Med is for us. The NBC drama from Dick Wolf debuts on 9p and I haven’t loved a show like this since ER went off the air. It is not like ER, but it has that feel of a real hospital with real doctors dealing with real patients. It is not a soap opera and it doesn’t go over the top with medical disasters.
Having said that, tonight’s episode starts out with a subway that goes off the track injuring several people and some are critical. Lucky for the passengers, Dr. Connor Rhodes (Colin Donnell), who is the new Head of Trauma at Chicago Med, is on board. He is helping the wounded until help arrives. Once the other medics are there, it is off to the hospital and save as many patients as they can.
Dr. Will Halstead (Nick Gehlfuss) and Dr. Natalie Manning (Torrey DeVitto) will try to save the life of a surrogate, who has suffered a major brain injury in the accident, but the baby is OK and the fetus’ parents have to decide what to do. While they are working her, Dr. Ethan Choi (Brian Tee) and intern Dr. Sarah Reese (Rachel DiPillo) work on another victim from the crash, a young girl who suddenly suffers cardiac arrest in their care.
It is hospital and they have more patients besides the ones in the crash, there is a man who has Cystic Fibrosis and he doesn’t want to be incubated again when he comes in with pneumonia. Dr. Daniel Charles (Oliver Platt) and Dr. Will Halstead (Nick Gehlfuss) will do everything they can to convince him otherwise. Will these patients survive?
You just have to tune into to find out. That and to watch a medical drama that is like the great shows in the genre from the ’80s and ’90s. Plus, it is a perfect companion with Chicago Fire. What more do you need on your Tuesday nights?
