A Medical Plan that Clicks: Chicago Med "Derailed" Season Premiere"

The latest installment in the Chicago Trilogy, Chicago Med, is a medical service that clicks into action.

This group of doctors, nurses, and administrators of the Chicago Medical Center tackle the city's everyday chaos. From a kid with a severe lung condition to a patient in an L train derailment, these doctors and nurses are in full force for any task.

Even Colin Donnell's character, Dr. Conner Rhodes, comes in on his first day when the train he's taken gets derailed. Treating a patient who was about to propose to their girlfriend helps get a pair of lungs to a kid who needs them to live. He may not be Mr. Warmth, but he gets it done.

Will Halstead and Natalie Manning are probably my favorite characters in the show. One, of course, is a hard-headed doctor who knows what's best for the patients, including the pregnant woman who thought she was brain dead, turned out to have swelling and needed surgery, but was stopped short due to the baby's parents.

Manning is the lead pediatrician who is pregnant. She lost her husband while serving and is still dealing with the loss. But she has April and Maggie, both nurses, for help. She not only takes care of a child from the accident who suffered a heart condition but helps Halstead treat his patient and face the baby's parents as well.

The connection between Halstead and Natalie could turn into a new couple down the road.

Another character is Dr. Charles, who is still a mysterious character in my book but attractive at the same time. We see him caring for a sick kid whose lugs are weak, and Charles is the only one who seems to be the kid's guard.

The show gives a great story with such interesting characters that are a bit different from Fire and PD. If I had to choose which new medical performance is better this fall, it would be Med over Code Black.

I love the series, and it's been since (House) 2009 that I've seen an excellent medical drama. It's brilliant, unique, and, most of all, it's a medical show that you can believe in.

And I can't leave out that they mention another hospital in the County. I wonder if that's Cook County General, better known as the hospital from ER. I got goosebumps just thinking if Dr. Carter is still in Chicago.

Overall, I give this episode an 8.5/10.

You can catch Chicago Med Tuesday nights at 9/8c on NBC.
