Bring There: Chicago Med "Letting Go Only to Come Together"/"Some Things Are Worth the Risk"

 


"Letting Go Only to Come Together"

Sometimes, letting go is the only thing that could make you better. 

When Dr. Charles and Halstead help a patient suffering from a seizure and see his dead wife in the corner of the room, they learn that the patient has a brain tumor and won't get it surgically removed because he doesn't want to lose seeing his wife. But Dr. Charles gave one last shot to convince the patient to go with the surgery, to which he agreed. 

April was chosen to work in the COVID unit, but when it comes to helping a patient, her actions might have gotten the best of her, and she might have suffered consequences after pushing meds without the doctor's order.

When a young centers into the ED, Dr. Virani and Choi work together to help treat his heart condition. But it looks like the issue isn't the heart but more of the lungs after multiple bleeds. 

After having a lovely evening with Manning's mother, Marcel, and Manning treat a patient who has been seen and treated for everything but abdominal pain. When they did a CT scan, it showed something no other doctor would have noticed. 

"Letting Go Only to Come Together" was a good episode.: good writing and character development. I love seeing Dr. Virani get into action instead of occasionally popping in. April's activities concern me about her taking on a different career path than just nursing. Also, I'm glad that Michael is leaving. While it brings some terrific drama between Goodwin and the Med, it just felt enough. Overall, I give this episode an 8/10.



"Some Things Are Worth the Risk"

She's back!!

Dr. Charles gets a visit from a former patient who wanted to see him over another doctor. But after he declines to be her therapist, Romona returns to the ED after she ingests pesticide to see Dr. Charles. 

As soon as Romona was cleared, Dr. Charles began to talk to her and tried to talk more about her father. But just as they were making some breakthrough, Anna called for help. After that, Romona was gone. 

Marcel and April treated a former COVID-19 patient suffering from trouble breathing. April thinks they are suffering from anxiety, but that's not the case after coughing up blood. It turns out to be endometriosis, but with the patient wanting to have kids, she decides to have surgery to remove the lung portion. 

Manning gets word on her mother's condition, which looks less harmful. Ked Will if he could help get her mother in treatment but couldn't, even after telling Virani about the stunt he had pulled. Meanwhile, she takes away a former patient's drug trial after the patient had died to give to her mother. Yikes!

Archer and Ethan go on a trip to help a trapped patient in a basement. When gunshots were going off, Ethan saw Archer experiencing PTSD and, after saving the patient, tried to talk to him to get help. But we all know he's not going to get it.

"Some Things Are Worth the Risk" was another excellent episode. I thought that Dr. Charles and Romona's storyline was good. Especially in that scene when Anna tells her dad how she feels bad for being the one to let Romona go. Manning is going into dangerous territory. Overall, I give this episode an 8.5/10.
