Did Nurses Kill Child Abuser Patient? | Chicago Med | MD TV

[@PatRNBSN]

@@thickymcghee7681 It's real life. In my 45 years as a nurse, I have taken care of many prisoners who were brought to my hospital. It is an unwritten rule that we are never told why they are prisoners because it could affect our care of them. Only once did the guard tell us - and the patient was a child molester. By then he had received "justice" from the other prisoners in the past, so he had the mental capacity of a baby. He received professional care as our patient, but as far as compassion in our hearts - you could probably say that was a different story.

The main issue is that they took so long to tell Dr Choi so he was left running around not knowing why no one was acting normally.

[@Anurepa]

At the same time, you feel for the nurses. They’re trying to support their friend in their own way, but also keep his secret because it’s not their business to tell. Survivors of SA often have to cope with a massive amount of shame, not to mention the additional stigma around male SA survivors, and it likely took him an immense amount of effort to even tell the women who corralled around him for support. The idea of telling his supervisor - another man - while also coping with the fact that his abuser was not only in the same place, but also that he was responsible for caring for him, touching him, interacting with him… the poor guy was undoubtedly overwhelmed, and the women around him did their best to respect his privacy and his mental and emotional wellbeing for as long as they could.

[@tekcomputers]

​@@Anurepa Their profession does not allow them the withhold care out of personal reasons. None of them should be nurses. It is disturbing that rampant betrayal of ethics was engaged in by the general nursing staff and nothing was done. If it were me in place of that Doctor the nursing staff would have been brought up on ethics violations and drummed out of the nursing profession permanently. People like that can't be working in a emergency room.... or really ANYWHERE in medicine. Their careers would have effectively been over and their nursing degrees effective turned into toilet paper.

Dr. Choi did amazing in this situation, you can see he was trying to protect his nurses from getting hurt by this guy by lawsuits/liability issues. He did the autopsy off the books to make sure that if something wasn't wrong, he could help protect April. While at first glance it seems like he is protecting the abuser, he really is protecting his team.

[@lavans5721]

And April is just the worst in this episode. Firstly, Dr. Choi comes up and asks out of concern for the abuse victim what's happening, and she shuts him out! Then, she acts like he knows what this patient did, when she's the one who stopped him from knowing! It's insane to me, because Dr.Choi went above and beyond this episode in terms of ethical duties and professional obligations, and it's treated like he's out of line for thinking a crew of people who were totally cool with mishandling a patient's care to the point of stabbing him with needles, might be responsible for the inexplicable amount of chemicals in his system.

Retired nurse here with 45 years experience. Normally you are not told what the prisoner did to be incarcerated because it could affect his care. However, once we were told by the guard and the patient was a convicted child molester. He had the mental capacity of a baby by then because in the past the other prisoners delivered their own form of justice. While he received professional care, you can guess what we felt in our hearts. Like you said, we can refuse to accept a patient if there is some extenuating circumstance, or conflict of interest, but it gets tricky if no one wants to care for the patient. This is not the only scenario in which this type of conflict can happen. If such a conflict arises, your hospital will probably have someone who can help resolve it, such as a hospital chaplain, social worker or someone on the ethics committee.

[@TimberlakeTigerGirl]

Legally speaking, a nurse or a doctor, on an individual level, can refuse to treat a patient if emotional hindrance comes into play. If a nurse/doctor doesn't want to help a patient because he's a child molester, they can refuse to help. But they have to sign a document stating that this nurse/doctor stating why they refuse to help, and agree that they are not to be let anywhere near the patient and can't even enter the room. They'll simply be reassigned to another patient. As for the patient themselves, they'll either be assigned a new doctor or sent to another hospital. It's to prevent any conflict of interest and any real malpractice that could come about if a nurse/doctor has their judgement impaired due to emotions. Like what we saw from that one nurse who deliberately stabbed the guy with the needle while trying to draw blood. She obviously did that on purpose and should of been dismissed or terminated on the spot.

[@RogueMustangMare]

@@TimberlakeTigerGirl that's understandable for Hank but for the other nurses they had no right to do what they did. I get they're mad that the guy hurt their friend but as we saw with one nurse she was almost in trouble for possibly killing the patient. If the Dr hadn't insisted that the doctor in the morgue look closer it could have ended badly for her.

[@TimberlakeTigerGirl]

@@RogueMustangMare It's not just the victim of the guys actions; literally any doctor/nurse can sign a document saying they are refusing to treat a certain patient because they don't like them. As long as it's not an actual prejudice like racism or homophobia, they can drop out of helping a patient for any reason. This whole thing could of been avoided if Dr. Choi had simply gotten the nurses to sign reassignment papers. Or better yet just left them alone when they made it clear they didn't want to help the guy and found others who would.

[@henryptung]

The nurse turning him into a pincushion is also a particular red flag. I'd set the bar at refusing service - in a technical sense, you can quit on the spot if it comes to that. But using a professional healthcare role as a tool of harm? Not only are you not helping anyone, you're giving the molester grounds for a malpractice suit, risking your own career, risking the privacy of the coworker you claim to be protecting, risking the reputation of the hospital and the careers of everyone there - it's stupid on top of stupid.

However, you can't refuse treatment if the situation is an emergency (as an EMT, I am not allowed to refuse to do CPR on a patient for any reason). Medical shows are awesome because they inspire people to work in the field, but they often relay extremely simplified processes to actual healthcare practice.

Ethan has his own hang ups. He would let his own biases affect his treatment of patient as well. I believe he has I can’t remember exactly but I’m pretty sure he has.

[@laikingwu4912]

I'm pretty sure too. I remember an episode where he was annoyed by a woman who had her baby right outside the hospital, which later had the police involved. But in this case Ethan told the patient what to tell the police to save her from being arrested.

I mean nurse treats patient maliciously and then has the audacity to be upset when there are a lot of signs that she may have had something to do with it. I love when people are unreasonable

[@meloyuma2729]

That's very illegal. She could end up in jail. Let the Lord do his work. Ik they're mad and angry and hurt. They could have sent him somewhere else

[@NFL_guy679]

Dr Choi’s co workers are making me so angry for not telling him why.

Coming from someone who works in a hospital there’s so much wrong with this scene. 1. The patient should’ve been transferred to a different unit 2. Dr. Choi should’ve reported the nurses 3. Doctors don’t just yell out orders or boss around nurses. They put official orders into the patients chart and then the nurse assigned to the patient executed those orders. 4. Where are the technicians on the floor? They usually do EKGs and other things 5. If Dr. Choi suspected foul play he’d have to put orders before the ME could investigate or else the family could sue the hospital because even though the patient has passed he still has rights, and those include not having his organs cut up for “curiosity” 6. Doctors aren’t just on the unit 24/7. They make rounds in the entire hospital and a patient would be lucky if he saw his doctor for more then 10 mins in one day 7. If a patient codes there would be a million more people in that room and not just the 3 of them. Every nurse on the unit should’ve been in that room for the first few minutes unit they aren’t needed. There should’ve been a code cart, virals machine, BS, EKG, someone charting, a code team, and countless other things which didn’t happen in this scene.

Some people don't know the in and out of patient right and nurse right. Nurse have the right to refused a patient but they have to say it out right or else it is ground for losing license and prison time. The show failed to shows that out right and it's walking on thin glass that cater to society moral that it is alright to shun someone based on accused crimes when legal specifically stated that doing so is a crime by law.

[@Americanpatriot-zo2tk]

You don’t know what you’re talking about. I’m a registered nurse for 34 years and I have refused to patient care and withdrawn from patient care under certain circumstances they can’t take your license for that. I don’t know what you people think but we’re nurses it’s a job and there’s no wall that says that we got to take care of scumbags like that.

[@faskers5944]

No matter how ya all feel, that was going against protocol, Nor do you update your senior on the situation, avoid the topic And regardless of what the patient has done, a doctor/nurse's duty is to treat the patient, regardless wether they r** or killed someone because we dont get to decide, the court does, otherwise we doctors would be held accountable with the risk of our licences getting revoked and jail time

[@robokraken5904]

I'm just disappointed in the nurse for leaving the evidence right there, at the top of the bin, in the same room as the patient...

I had a pheochromocytoma a few years ago. They're almost impossible to see and it sends constant adrenaline into your blood. I was always in fight or fought mode. My reading heart rate was between 90 and 100 for YEARS , along with other things

[@BMarie774]

I saw my abuser in a store once. I was with my mom, we were in the produce section. Right next to me we’re pineapples and an end display with pairing knives. Everything felt so bizarre and my vision felt like I was about to black out. All I could see was him ans those pairing knives. He smiled and gave us a little wave, my mom not knowing anything was wrong (he was a friend of my moms ex partner). My reaction to him clearly set up alarm bells when I had a full on panic attack mid store. I just.. kept feeling like I was going to faint, my heartbeat soooo loud in my head it sounded like it was coming from all around me not just in my head, and I thought “I won’t be able to open that plastic around the pairing knife fast enough”. It was.. soul destroying seeing him so suddenly after so long.

Sending you love.

Hey Ethan. Nurses don’t draw blood! Call the phlebotomist.

[@srsusansummers3070]

They do in ER
