Unorthodox Measure Turns Cardiac Arrest Into Vegetative State | Chicago Med | MD TV

[@camilylove]

I hate ppl like that. she was telling her HUSBAND that it was all in his head and then blames the doctor for the veggitative state. Well if she had listened to her husband and came earlier maybe this wouldnt have happened

[@SuperArystoteles]

Correct.

[@zilesis1]

she kinda had a good reason though. Halstead could have told her "everything looks good, but i will write a prescription for further analyses to make sure, so in the mean time try to reduce his stress as much as you can" instead he let her believe that everything was good and waited till she was out of the room to even bring up that further tests could be needed

[@whywelovefilm7079]

Wtf are you talking about? She took him to the ER. She’s not a doctor. She could’ve said it came from aliens. Why would that matter? The doctor cleared them to leave and said he was fine. She’s done everything she was supposed to. How could you blame her?

[@unknown1238157]

In the same token if he cries wolf all the time, how long before you stop believing him? She even said the chest pain comes when it’s time to do house work or something he doesn’t want to do. After the first 3-4 times, I’m calling bullshit. It’s not be mean but it just ironic that the pain appears when it comes time to do something you don’t like. Especially if he isn’t following up with his primary and only calls the ambulance and goes home after test in the ER. I would think it was attention seeking.

[@shirsch7048]

Plus his relapse happened in the car going home, I suspect she was harassing him about going to the hospital in the first place and caused the heart attack.

[@Unapologetically_american]

So she spends every chance she gets calling her husband a lazy fat ass and stressing him out, but when it turns out that something is seriously wrong with him, she needs him and it’s everyone else’s fault? Nice👌🏻😅

Not to mention that humans are both incredibly fragile and absurdly durable at the same time. People can die from the most tiniest of insignificant things, like a splinter, a flea bite, or a stubbed toe. But people can also survive being shot multiple times in the head, terminal velocity free falls, and multi-ton boulders crushing them. We can die from breathing wrong, but we can also survive losing half of our brains.

"practice" in this context doesn't mean "trial run," it just means "doing." it is true that there are no guarantees which is why doctors should be careful not to speak in absolute terms.

How is she blaming the doctor when every time he told her something felt wrong she blew it off and ignored it saying it was “all in his head” if this is anyone’s fault it’s the wife’s fault. She should have took him to the hospital the FIRST time he said something was wrong. The fault lies right on the wife. The fact she wants a scapegoat for her faults is sickening.

[@yogoo0]

She literally took him to a doctor who said he was fine and cleared him to go home and come back to get tested further. Yeah she may have thought it was all in his head but she is literally standing by his side in the hospital. How can you say that is ignoring the signs when she actively taking steps to investigate the signs? She is there watching her husband take the tests. Actively investigating. If you have an experiment and say that a hypothesis is wrong and prove it, is that blowing it off and ignoring the experiment?

[@silvos8903]

​@@yogoo0 She said "it's all in his head" so many times that the doctor waited until after she left to order further testing. Did you not watch the same clip? Invalidating people is what leads to things like this. She didn't care until he was dead on the table. After, she didn't care about her husband, she only cared about where she was going to get her next check from. Get a clue.

My friend and I are both heart patients and we’re both told that our hearts were doing OK. She was told that she didn’t even have any heart issues and then within a month she had a Widowmaker heart attack and needed an emergency open-heart surgery. My cardiologist assured me over several years that waiting for open-heart surgery was fine, that the blood pooling in my heart wasn’t causing any permanent damage and now I have permanent congestive heart failure because my muscles in my heart are destroyed. when I died for 13min, and was in a coma after, my advanced directive was completely ignored, and they refused to speak to my husband.

The fact that people are saying it’s the wife’s fault not the doctors are missing that it’s neither of theirs. There was no abnormality on the tests (so it’s not the doctors fault), and if the wife had taken him earlier there likely /still/ wouldn’t have been any abnormality. The doctors would have sent him home just the same. In fact, if they had gone in earlier, then they would have been home when the heart attack happened, farther from the hospital, in which case he likely would have died. So technically she actually helped keep him alive. Was it wrong and unsympathetic to dismiss his worry? Absolutely. Is she the reason he had a cardiac arrest and nearly died? No. She was wrong to lash out at the doctor, but imagine your own loved one in this scenario; she is distraught and at a loss for what to do.

[@JenniferSteil28]

By “earlier”, everyone means days, weeks, months, maybe even years earlier, and in those cases, he would have gotten the referral to a cardiologist and the defect could have been found and fixed earlier. Instead, she just repeatedly beat him down by calling him names to the point he gave her the nickname “Jennicide” (meaning, she’s slowly killing him).

[@duewhat9815]

It's not the doctor's fault, it was death or the state he is left in, although there is likely a reason that treatment was never considered acceptable as well as taking the treatment from another patient was incredibly negligent. As far as the wife, the gaslighting she did for the however long he's been having chest pains could have been the reason he didn't go to the doctor sooner, also, the narrative both the husband and the wife put out sounds like this is not the only subject she is emotionally abusive on, which will absolutely build up stress and is potentially one of the serious causes for chest pain that the doctor mentioned and scheduled tests for.

they can't guarantee he'll ever wake up.

[@dmf1301]

@@dietotaku Yes, medically induced comas so the person can sleep through the healing/pain carry some risk that they won't ever wake up. But it's still not a 'persistent vegetative state'... it's a medically induced coma.

[@auxiliasequeira8648]

In this situation...what would you have preferred...if u had the choice?....To help him live or let go?

[@ChristineTheHippie]

Tough one but I'd let him go, when you consider the quality of life. There's a certain window of the before irreversible damage occurs.

[@cupcakeprime559]

The human brain can only go so long without oxygen...20 minutes is way past the threshold...he wouldn't be waking up if he was dead or had a heartbeat... I'd fight but eventually there's no point in fighting if theirs no one to save

[@ChristineTheHippie]

@@cupcakeprime559 Agreed. That's why I would let him go, after the threshold has passed. Doctors know that, but Halstead has always had a saviour complex.

[@maidenaholic]

​@Cupcake Prime recently a guy went 71 minutes without oxygen to the brain and survived. He was fine.

[@IrishTwist]

I can see how his wife thinks it is the doctor's fault but the reality is he had cpr immediately in the hospital and unfortunately brain damage can happen to lack of oxygen to the brain. Very sad. When he came to the ER sooner they should have admitted him for a cath or at least a stress test based on his symptoms.

[@LilyGrace95]

Dr Halstead literally said he was referring him to a cardiologist for a stress test when he was discharging him. Pay attention before you criticise the methods.

[@IrishTwist]

@@LilyGrace95 his methods were perfect. I agree. Happy holidays.

[@LilyGrace95]

@@IrishTwist "when he came to the ER sooner they should have admitted him for a cath or at least a stress test" kind of implies you saw flaws and didn't in fact agree, but mkay. Merry Christmas etc.

[@AshleyBehr]

This woman is awful! How can you treat your husband like crap and then blame the doctors?!

[@orff1234]

Exactly

[@NYD666]

Amazing how many doctors are in the comments sections. If actors did heart compressions quickly they'd break the extra or guest star broken ribs. The reason actors do it incorrectly is so the person they're compressing on doesn't move. What is more realistic, incorrect compressions or a dead body saying ow?

[@FireHeart2829]

My father coded for 45 minutes before the E.R. gave up, so why is that one doctor saying to give up after 20?

[@HazzerJazzer1]

I think it depends on what the cause of cardiac arrest is. If some one was hemorrhaging out for example and they go into cardiac arrest, they may not on for long because any fluids they may be pumping in might just be coming straight back out. And work major blood loss the body goes into hypovalemic shock which has a whole host of symptoms. It also depends on the age and overall health of a patient. There was a footballer who collapsed on the pitch and was down for 75 minutes. His heart was eventually restarted and miraculously made a full recovery with no brain damage.

[@LCDestroysUYT]

Instructions unclear, the guy is now in a vegetable stage?? He isn’t responding we might have to eat him

Her crying sounds like laughing😧

[@oavideos6798]

How young he waaaas )))

[@patriciastrassner4883]

And then she blamed the dr when it goes wrong.

[@momthegreatest]

Excuse me,am watching just this episode,can some one explain what mistake the Dr did please? Audio here is low and so asking...

[@heapos]

Wth like all he did was his job and saved his life and she wants him dead wow.

The episode, explanation in the descriptions, is not the same as the episode going on. What episode did this happen?

[@yourfavlinder]

"try thinking like a doctor not a pregnant woman" Well dang.

She didn't care about her husband... Just money. Disgusting

If the roles of the pt from the husband to wife were reversed the wife would react the same I bet

[@telebijeon3109]

Every clip I see of this guy he's committing malpractice and moral atrocities I lie to you not; Wonder if he's different in the actual show..

[@roboguard96]

I used to go out with a women like the wife in this video. They take every opportunity to condescend to you and talk down to you and disguise it as banter. Even when something serious or life changing is happening (as what happened to me) they still take the opportunity to gloat and be spiteful about it. I’m all for edgy, dark humour to take the sting out of a traumatic situation, but it also needs to be balanced with genuine empathy and care for the person. You might as well be a king or queen married to a court jester because that’s the kind of relationship you’re getting, no one deserves that from a lifelong partner.

[@SparDanger]

The wife strikes me as a narcissist.

[@karendeaton9297]

We know when our car is making strange sounds. We know when our body is off. If I had a tattoo, it would be DNR across my chest in big letters.

[@taylordaenzer4852]

The doctor didn't do anything to destroy him so lady stop blaming the doctor.

[@takumi2023]

maybe the wife was looking at the life insurance payout that's why she blames the doctor? (pessimistic view)

[@ziminar966]

Yes, the wife messed up, but the doctor is worse. He couldn't let the man go and turn him into a vegetable and risked an infants life. Might as well mark him down as a baby killer instead of a doctor. His personal feelings are overwhelming his professional life. Should choose a different profession at this point

[@sirenethusiast93]

I have heart issues in real I already died and came back from that twice
