stupid protocols would've literally turned that woman into an amputee. she was in the safest possible place and he took every precaution. she had a reaction, he managed and resolved it, and she was able to take the available antibiotic to treat her condition without needing major surgery. it's a win all the way around.

Best explanation

Yes, there are time we question protocol expectantly if it is not best practice anymore and not updated for a long time.

[@rinibhowmick1996]

Dr Halstead is literally a genius. I wonder why Chicago Med did not show his this genius aspect more. Every time they showed him as reckless, disobedient, and rude. But he is a gifted doctor and has a very fast working brain. His ability to think of alternatives should have been explored more. Also, for the first time I saw an Indian patient in the series.

[@blackdog6969]

Given he had resources held from him, he got consent for treatment, he did fine given what he had available

[@robertheron7017]

The American healthcare system from an outsider's perspective seems so silly it is one of the wealthiest countries in the world, but they can't provide good health care to their citizens. Even simple things like an ambulance coming out to a patient costs money. I find that just crazy.

Healthcare, infrastructure, education, work-life balance, safety... As a Dutch person, I grew up with the phrase "American dream" and thought it was the best place to live. Now, all grown up, I'm glad I live in the Netherlands.

[@klauds6375]

@@FO0TMinecraftPVP as you should be. The Netherlands have some of the best quality of life of any country. Im australian, I wish we were anywhere near as good as the Netherlands. Unfortunately we're pretty much just a little britian when it comes to quality of life. But even still, a common phrase amongst young people in Australia is "at least it isn't america", America really is the grandest shitshow of all the developed world.

@@FO0TMinecraftPVP Ah yes, the country of gouda cheese and immigrants ruining your country.

[@titichartay7216]

As a Dutch person living in Australia - there are problems but unlike the corrupt, for profit USA system - people will still get life saving treatment in the public health system.

He did what he could, yes it would've been better to avoid the entire situation, but he couldnt

[@gailstorm0817]

I feel like they could've made her sign a consent form. Just to you know, make sure the consent was there😆 Either way, I'm glad that it worked out.

[@MysticClaws100]

Probably would've done that offscreen. Not every little thing needs to be shown to us

[@2familiesincambodia423]

agreed. a verbal consent is ok. for this situation, a consent form could probably guarantee his safety legally.

[@Vee_breeze2767]

Great but stupid call, but he saved her life and her dream.

Actually Miss Goodwin this would hold up extremely well in court only thing a doctor needs in order to do something to a patient is their consent the lady said yes I understand the risks that I might have to be intubated and then I’m taking something I’m allergic to at first she wasn’t on board with it but she did agree to it which I’m sorry would hold up in court the only thing they could say is that she might’ve been coerced but she wasn’t you can tell by how she asks she’s nervous at first she takes a second and then she says OK I will do it nobody talks to her about how all you should do this or all you would live longer nobody is trying to coerce her into making the decision she made it on her own she told the doctor this is what I want and I agree with your treatment plan even though I don’t think it will work that’s all they they would need in court she consented to the procedure so it happened. Any jury would look at that and say hey we’re talking about a procedure that she agreed to and the doctor explained to her I don’t see the doctor being guilty for that literally anyone in the quart room would listen to Dr. Halsted say I had her full consent and I had explained the risks they would all agree. It is not a crime what he did if he gave it to her without her, knowing it would be a crime if he lied and said the drugs she was allergic to was the other drug could be in trouble, but I don’t think he should be in trouble right now he literally saved her life. I feel like Miss Goodwin is literally just too conscientious I understand she’s in charge of the hospital. This is her hospital and she needs to make sure. everything goes right, but she goes a little too far this berating Dr. Halsted because he saved someone’s life is absolutely too far

[@ThomasKilburmn]

Oh my god, Halstead is absolutely out of his mind. He deliberately went against her advice and did it anyway! Wow...

[@MysticClaws100]

What was his other option? Wait until she loses her leg?

[@Eric4bz]

Her choice was risk an allergic reaction that could require intubation to save her life, or risk permanent damage. Once it reached the bone, there was a high chance she'd need amputation. He informed the patient of the options, let her choose, got her consent, and fulfilled her wishes. Being out of his mind would be giving her the Vanomycin claiming it was another drug, which is medical battery, or attempting to strong arm her into the decision. He gave the patient the full scope, she made the choice.

[@uncannyvalley1457]

She gave consent for it to happen. Source control was making things difficult. If they had waited for the other drug, she could’ve lost her leg.

[@kaitlintropper2061]

Do not put a patient on drug she is allergy too like vancomycin. The alternative should be daptomycin for an example. As a future nurse, I can refuse to give the medication in her case. Best place to called for other alternative is the diagnostic lab.

[@becky2235]

I was given a drug I'm allergic to 5 times! Putting me in hospital each time can I complain over this? I've gone to my GP and took the forms to them only to be told I'm making it up! I have my parents as witnesses and within 40 minutes I became extremely sick and I mean EXTREMELY
