The acting here is absolutely spot on. Massive respect for the actors, they do an amazing job

seeing dr charles comfort a peer in the field was so wholesome. she just lost a client that she knew for years, thats not an easy lost to cope with.

Shout out to Dr Marcel for listening to Dr Charles, so many of the physical doctors on this show ignore the opinions of psychiatry in favor of their own opinions

The ONLY person that did anything wrong in this is the journalist. Keeping him going, unhooking his restraints, capitalising on his death….

I am a mental health care worker and I can tell you... if the patient DOES have a history of depression AND has attempted against his own life, that impairs the whole medical freedom of choice, because there is no clear way to determine if this patient is completely lucid, or if he has found a loophole to legally end his own life without medical interference. So until that is determined, yes, I too would have a court order to keep him alive. Evidently, the character of Luis was 100% determined to die no matter what. He was clearly suicidal. At least he managed to get the recycling company to rethink their position, but still... this was a suicide, not a protest.

Of all the ways I expected this to go, that was not one of them... Continually impressed with how Chicago Med keeps coming up with all these extraordinary situations, but somehow does them in a believable way.....

was NOT expecting that

8:03 "he was in so much pain" Says the women who gladly watched him starve himself to death over 5 weeks

Pretty sure its a major ethics violation for a hospital to allow a journalist to stay in the room and hear all the confidential medical info of a patient and then report on it. She's not a relative and her reasons for being there don't qualify as a medical advocate, and if this was real life she would be in MASSIVE trouble for taking off his restraints (probably some kind of charge in facillitating his death) TV drama gotta drama

I've never understood protests like this. The company isn't going to care if you starve yourself to death because of something they're doing. They're going to look at your little article about your hunger strike, laugh, and go on about their day. They won't care. You're not negatively impacting them in any way by dying in protest. Its so stupid.

Nice to see a doctor - any doctor - be more self reflective after making a questionable decision. A lot of the main cast (I'm looking at you, Halstead. You too, Choi) like to make much sketchier decisions than this and they don't take any responsibility at all when things go badly south.

He was very determined to make his point even if it mean't he would die.

I think he wanted to die, but he wanted to think that his dead would be meanful

The journalist attitude bothers me

Well, he got what he wanted in the end: death. The protest was a nice little add-on to the obituary.

That journalist bothered me. It felt like she was using him, even though he wanted her there. Was anyone else bothered by the journalist? You don't have to agree with me, I'm just curious.

I really need to sit down and watch more of this show. It's really good and well written, but I have to admit something...can I tell you a secret? When I see Dr Charles, I'm always going to be reminded of crush...Porthos. All for One.

More Chicago med please!

Am I the only one who doesn’t get how he lit himself on fire with nobody noticing it

I guess we could say it .... backfired?

The actor that plays the patient is older than 22

I’m watching this while eating enchiladas

That was heavy

9:43 did she break character lmao

Wow they really made him look malnourished 😮

Love it

Homer simpson moment when he did a strike from Duff

7:01 Good God, the look of horror on her.

Very shocking and cool…………………..

Jesus the CPR in the show us atrocious

She shouldn't have gotten the court order. She's just as guilty

dr charles got rizz

Ghost rider 😂😂😂

We have a lunch date I forgot about?

8:13 doing chest compressions too fast

Come on, they could at least try and make the CPR realistic

Did they post it 3 days ago on purpose bc of th guy in israel

Why couldn't they just be honest with him. That he is nobody to the company and it doesn't matter if he dies. That if he really wanted change, he should have found a famous person or social influencers or something political that he could trade off of.

Dr Marcel should have refused to comply!!!

By the end of the episode the female Psych Doctor was proven correct. His end goal was to die. He just finally in his mind figured out a way he could commit suicide without anyone being able to stop him. If this was really all about making a difference for this project he would have gotten over the force feeding gotten out of the hospital (sued if anything) and use the funds to improve the nighbourhood he grew up in or fight the plant relocation.

So the calcelor triggered the helplessness action to kill himself. He found his power in doing a hunguer strike. Since he was at the action stage of his suicidal depression. He set himself on fire?

Qrd is the best

6:46

She has trouble with what?closed captions couldnt even tell me

So the reporter poured it on him ?

People like him need to be put into a psych ward and properly evaluated so that they do not do something ridiculous like this guy. She should be charged for unting his restraints. No way that the powers that be would have put whatever on hold because of one mentally ill person.

I think they all failed the man. the doctors and the reporter woman. The doctors didn't try to understand where he was coming from or his state of mind----he told them his objective, so they could have talked with him about other options that didn't involve starving himself. maybe it was maybe it wasn't a suicide attempt- they don't know. the lighting himself on fire could have been an end result relapse into suicide because the objective goal he set for himself was taken away from him without proper mental support--they thought he was suicidal, enough to have a judge over ride him but didn't put him on suicide watch? especially when they removed the focus of his obsession he set himself whole heartedly to the mission and likely deemed himself a failure because he 'failed' his objective

never bother to help someone who cant appreciate.not worth to waste your emotions or times on them.u cant help someone who cant help themselves.let them go and focus the ones who want to be saved.that called natural selection.weak has no place in this world.weak as in giving up from themselves without a fight when noone else did.

i get having a cause and you will risk everything for trust me i understand that perfectly but a hunger strike ? that seems like a extream

I googled it and apparently nicotine does not help with hunger it actually causes your stomach feel more empty

is it just me or is the chest compressions just weak af

hi Dr Charles my stomach is fat F h t

Can the hungry go on a hunger strike? Non-violence is a piece of theatre. You need an audience. What can you do when you have no audience? People have the right to resist annihilation Arundhati Roy

who wants a steak?

It does not matter about his past, whether he tried to or not. He still has mental capacity to make his own decisions. Unless he has been seen by the doctor it has been stated he doesn’t have capacity, she had now right. Even if it was the ‘right’ thing to do

The doctor's responsibility is to help their patient...not get involved in protests or politics or anything else. This man had an previous suicide attempt and suffered from major depressive disorder. 1. Of course the man's physical medical history (as well as his mental health history does have to be taken into account. Both do. So attempting to talk him out of starving himself seemed futile...he was already going downhill with no appearance of slowing down or stopping the fast. So getting a court order would have helped to prolong his life at the very least, and give him a chance to be helped by psychotherapy or medication...so I don't see any culpability in the female psychiatrist's behaviour. 2. the doctor should have made him empty his pockets ensure there was nothing in his possession that could that he could hurt him with. 3. Since he was on a psych hold or forced to accepted iv nutrition, that reporter should not have been left alone with him. 4. And clearly his previous psychiatrist had a much more profound insight into the man's psyche. So, the first doctor & psychiatrist should have made sure he was safe, he should have taken the cigarettes and lighter away immediately. 5. And the reporter was culpable for interfering with a patient and/or a patient's treatment, causing irreversible harm.

1:46 the rich people wanted it gone because they're nimby's how just won't listen to what expert are telling them. And relocating was less of a hassle than fighting then lawsuits

Wow the journalist is essentially helping him die just for her to have a story. That should be classed as murder kr inciting a suicide

Sadly this is the road to treat a leftist when they throw a temper lol

W

First

Serves him right , he killers himself over some stupid steel plant location

the fact that i actually heard someone say, 'its environmental racism' just goes to show the social media impacts of which make no sense, wtf is environmental racism???

I did a 72 day water fast earlier this year and my weight stabilised at 70kg, didn’t lose weight after that. The idea that a *35 day* fast is going to cause THIS much damage is ridiculous- individuals have been known to go much, much longer- the concern would more be around monitoring for *lean muscle loss* than being on death’s door. Fasting is actually incredibly powerful and my mental acuity was part of the positive side effects I didn’t know I was going to experience.

bro is doing heart compressions WAYYY to fast, honestly it should be at least half the speed
