Can't Save Them All: Code Black "Pre-Existing Conditions"

You can't save them all. But when you do, you do your best to your instinct.

This week's episode deals with just some of that. When a prisoner comes in, does he deserve to be treated and saved? That's what Lorenson thinks about when she treats a patient. After telling her that he enjoys killing and such, he gets into her head. Until Hudson tells her that he's her patient and that the best way to handle fear is to be afraid of being brave.

I felt like Angus had a lot more in this episode than the rest of the characters. He deals with a patient when he's hear stop beating but when Mario tells him that it's the patient's heart, Angus thinks its something else. The patient of course is alive, but it was what Angus thought it was. He doesn't speak up and gets placed on treating patients in the waiting area.

He meets one patient that kind have has the hots for him, but she's a stripper but he doesn't see that she's into him. One patient, an elderly man, comes in complaining about a bunch of stuff but when he couldn't breathe and someone given him a protein bar, it turned out to be an allergy from the bar.

Soon he tries to tube the patient to give him an airway. Nervous but he finds the airway while he hums a tune and soon everyone was humming as well.

Rorish deals with Mario, who thinks that he's thinks too high of himself. The other is when a two car crash victims, both are brothers, come in. One of them lives and the other didn't and it doesn't make their mother all the well and wished that the one that lived would have died instead of the other.

But it was when Rorish talked to the mother and how she could understand what she's gone through. She tells her that she lost her husband and two children in a car accident from a drunk driver. I know that it's something that Rorish doesn't want to talk about but it does show that she can open up to give others a but of understanding and hope.

This episode was pretty good. There was a lot of character development from Rorish and Angus. There was a lot of interesting patients coming through those doors.

Overall, I give this episode a 7/10.

You can catch Code Black Wednesday nights at 10/9c on CBS.
