When two babies are on the edge of death, one doctor thinks that one could help save the other, but will another doctor agree to it?
When Manning gets an infant patient who's eating, things turn for the worst as the baby's muscles aren't as flexible as they should be and soon are on the vent. The test shows nothing abnormal. What the hell could be causing this kid to be this sick?
Meanwhile, Rhodes' patient, another infant baby, hasn't been outside of the hospital since he was born. The baby is on the organ transplant list, and things don't look good for him either. But when Rhodes sees Manning's patient, he discusses with her how her patient could help him, which would put her in a bad situation.
After testing to see if Manning's and Rhodes' patients were a match, they proved to be a match. The parents of Manning's patient aren't too pleased about it. When Manning sees the kid's shoes and asks about what the baby does at the park, the mother says that she does tummy time, and soon Manning gets someone from an infectious disease to come down, and it turns out it was an infection from the grass. Leaving Rhodes' patient waiting even longer.
Meanwhile, Halstead isn't having the best of times as he's throughout almost everything that he owns and still owns money. He gets a homeless patient who saw things 15 years ago. When Charles sees him, he and Halstead look at the CT scan and see a tumor.
Ethan has a medical student who is about to head out overseas. After one day of just treating gunshot victims, it takes a toll on Ethan. He keeps a journal of those he couldn't save, the one gunshot victim who died.
Things to take away from this episode: April seems to be afraid of the situation that she's in with her boyfriend, who asked her hand in marriage two months ago; that's what Reese said. Reese tries to help her boyfriend deal with a co-worker who wants to be best friends. Ouch! I understand that, my friend. And Jeff and Manning, I'm just going to say it: they're a thing now.
I liked this episode; it's not one of my favorites. The storyline with the babies was good and, at times, very concerning about what Manning would do if she did go with Rhodes' idea. That would be something. Ethan was attractive as we saw him teaching a student in situations and what to have when treating patients overseas. Mostly, it was at the end where he wrote the patient that he lost was a wow moment.
Overall, I give this episode a 7/10
You can catch Chicago Med Thursday nights at 9/8c on NBC.
