Woman Stabs Husband After Failing to Recognize Him | Chicago Med | MD TV

[@PaulosTheGamer]

Yeah that's the best quote I've heard so far in a lot of these shows.

[@symbolguy3609]

New Amsterdam did an episode like this between a mother and her son. She had lesions in her brain that were too deep to be treated by surgery, so she sees her son as an impostor. It was also Capgras syndrome, and it kicked in after he left the house for camp.

[@willroths747]

At least the kid didn’t get stabbed

[@bzh7648]

@@willroths747No, the 14 year old boy just lost his only parent and his home. I hated that they left us hanging and didn’t wrap that up. That was so unrealistic. I guess the kid would have been put in foster care but he deserved an inheritance from his father’s estate.

[@jessicaarmstrong5035]

It's a very, very rare condition. But it's so awful too. Imagine waking up and thinking everyone you know and love is an imposter. Imagine being that person that you think is an imposter. And sadly most of the time there's no cure for it. Most people end up starting new lives or having to get to know their loved one all over again. At least with a kid there's more time to figure that out. I can't imagine having it happen with your husband.

[@joeyjose727]

I don’t exactly remember the ending but I do know the mother and son (SPOILERS) bond by basically saying “I lost someone I care about too” and it’s really sad

Capgras Syndrome can occur due to a lot of different reasons (schizophrenia, brain damage etc). Sometimes it’s treatable other times it’s not.

[@synergisticcollusion134]

From a person living with someone who has schizophrenia, you're correct. It'd be an UNDERSTATEMENT to say how absolutely TERRIFYING, CONFUSING & HEARTBREAKING it is to walk into your home one day, where you've lived for YEARS with your significant other, after only having been gone for an hour running regular errands, just for you to be IMMEDIATELY accosted & interrogated as to WHO you are, WHY you're there & WHAT you want from them! His "episodes" have never lasted more than a couple hours, and he was quickly hospitalized whenever they'd occur, but those experiences were something I was definitely NOT prepared for - nor could I ever forget, though I'd NEVER hold it against him. This disease is just one of MANY that remind us how truly complex our brains are - and how TERRIBLY things can go wrong with it that will affect not only ourselves, but those around us. Thankfully, he's been completely stable & his usual self for the last 2 years now and we celebrated our 10 year anniversary a few months ago. I couldn't imagine how I'd function or go on if I lost him - one way or another - to this devastating condition.

[@willcookmakeup]

Ugh my god this is so horrible. I remember when my grandmother's dementia got really bad and she didn't remember who we were. It was awful, especially for my mom. To have your own mother not recognize you...my mom was so beside herself. This though is like 10x that. Absolutely gut wrenching

[@JustAJinx-ci6hg]

I don't blame her. I would rather have the risk than have to choose to not recognize someone I love.

[@aosanshou]

Dear, I feel like you need to realise how important your life is to people around you, which doesn’t involve on your spouse but relatives ancestors descendants…. You maybe also have to take pride in how you were born how your mother sacrifice to create you etc. Do not speak your death so lightly✨ remember, life is a long marathon, not a short time run competition🍀❣️

[@jldog134]

I remember Criminal Minds episode called Dorado Falls where an ex Navy SEAL had capgras syndrome and he killed his squadmate his parents and kidnapped and tortured his old Commanding Officer.

9-1-1 also covered this. Poor mom killed her son thinking he was a robber. She had surgery and Athena had to be the one to tell her what happened. That's so scary.

[@MusicLoverMN]

I know it's just a show but I got really happy when she recognized her husband lol 😅

[@TxchPlays]

I mean its possible IRL😂

[@tevinstrachan1421]

I remember couple shows had episodes like this. The rookie had an episode like this where the mother killed her son who was her primary care giver. Shot him dead right in her living room. Another episode in 9-1-1 had a son hiding in his closet or bathroom while his father hunted him down and both of them were on the phone with the operators. If its really like that in real life as it is on tv then its terrifying

[@Jem19681]

I remember that 9-1-1 scene. It was so sad that the dad only knew it was his son when they were on the phone, and the son was out of sight. I agree that this would be terrifying if it were the same in real life. If so, I hope there is some truth to 'talk while out of sight' ending the delusion.

[@jinakaye]

The Rookie must have snatched that other 9-1-1 episode. Athena had to tell the mom after she got out of surgery.

[@mjallen1308]

Why is there always this type of drama where someone falls out and there’s always attentive doctors and nurses around. How about a hospital where you wait 3 hours to be seen and then you sit around and wait for someone to come in and give you results to the bloodwork and MRI you got an hour ago.

[@ratsumatra3003]

Yep. Fiction at its best. Only on TV, only on TV.

[@jessimarim_m9387]

I mean you could watch the real life shows where cameras go around a hospital in A&E, Imean technically the wait times are mostly edited out, but the sense of time passing is still there 😅 My fave is 24hours in A&E Im in the uk tho so no idea if other countries have it, or their own versions of it 🤔

[@CanineGrowTime]

Those numbers are fast. Last time I went to the ER - they held me NINE hours before being seen.

[@angelicasmodel]

Yes. When I had possibly the same reaction to possibly the same drug, I had to wait for the ambulance to arrive, then get taken to hospital, and wait around for some time while doing what this patient did here. Not a pleasant experience. Given how quick the new meds worked, I would have loved to be seen right away like she was.

[@MusicLoverMN]

So this is why Dr. H ghosted Callie and the hospital etc. Callie broke her heart so badly that she swore off dating / girls etc. But then HUGE surprise, she falls in love at first sight with her now husband. (Or not her husband, according to her lol) Now she can't recognize her own husband either! Damn! Poor Dr. H just cannot catch a break! I feel so bad for her!

[@lv4313]

No, you cannot reason with delusions because people with delusions are unable to change their beliefs using logic or facts but you can challenge them and make your brain adapt and realize something is not right . Delusions are false beliefs that people hold with absolute conviction. For instance myself I underwent thru full stress not long ago full blown anxiety panic attacks,disociation,despersonalization, no sleep etc. disociation is when you feel like you are losing touch with reality and that you might be going crazy. So I asked a few times to be taken to get help. Cause I was starting to believe I was in a different reality and this wasn't me after they took me to get help getting of the "mental hospital" I didn't stay of course I got evaluated over and over I started thinking what if I gone crazy and I'm at the hospital and this reality around me is just in my head that was so irrational let's say 90% of my brain was thinking that and my 10% was trying to rationalize that that wasn't true but I was unable to change that believe the more I tried the more I thought about it. It was pure delusion my brain reality thought nothing was real and I was crazy. I started having CBT help Until I realize oh well if I can't make my brain realize what I'm thinking is false then I'll start living in this crazy world so little by little I started doing my normal things,going to work grocery shopping etc, even tho I was scared out of my mind thinking no one was real,my family might be not real or replaced by robots etc.and the more I started not caring the brain started like getting used to being relaxed again not in fight or flight mode. Months went by until one day I said whatahell I was really bad weren't I thinking the reality wasn't real and I was crazy or people were robots etc and laught and that's when I realize I had beaten that false believe. It's been 3 years Til this day I still get those thought but I don't mind them being just there and say you silly thought 😂 you are funny I tell ya. Cause I know that thought it's false. Long story short you can challenge your false believe but for sure you are gonna lose, a tinny part of you knows that thought is false but you aren't able to change it even if you try really hard.

[@MusicLoverMN]

So many good crossover ideas gah 💡♥️ So many endless possibilities. What happened to Dr. H? OR is that woman actually her identical twin she never got to tell Callie about?! Just so many omfg lol. I'm such a dork. I haven't gotten this excited about a crossover, unofficially, since Piper & Phoebe from Charmed ironically also showed up on Grey's Anatomy. Lol 😂 ♥️

[@roybokelman4215]

Thats the rub… delusions are fixed beliefs and the brain cannot “look” past them. They are part of your reality.

[@winterwombat]

@@roybokelman4215 Exactly. There is no "you" separate from the brain experiencing these symptoms. You can't just decide to act as if not affected, because the problem is a dysfunction within your decision-making organ. It's comforting to imagine ourselves able to overcome these conditions, but the other side of that belief can lead to blaming other people for not being able to do so, so it's important to keep the issues in perspective.

[@rannvamacdonaldarnskov4794]

I dont think you would be able to push past it yourself, but ive seen a video of a schizofrenic guy with a service dog that helped him distinguish between hallucinations and real things.

@@rannvamacdonaldarnskov4794 Absolutely! The rarity of conditions like Capgras makes it tough to figure out reliable treatments, but figuring out aids and workarounds can do a lot to improve quality of life.
