Ethan’s face when Monique told him what that guy did to Hank the nurse, imagine being told that your patient is a child molester and abused someone you work with. Hippocratic oath or not, must be tough. I could never do this job
Yeah, because this happens all the time? LOL! Get a grip. It's a TV show.
I'ma nurse...we can refuse an assignment especially if it will put yourself, your patient, or your license at risk.
@@thickymcghee7681 dude. It can happen in real life. So many different patients come in hospitals everyday God know who they actually are
@@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.
He is a doctor, he has to be professional and not have judgemental thoughts. He has a job to do even if it means saving child molestars, etc.
As soon as Ethan realized that there was a conflict and he wouldn’t get optimal care I would have transferred him to a different hospital.
Yeah but you're using logic and stuff doctors/nurses would actually do, these people would have been fired a dozen times over for stuff they do in this show
@@BrunoThePup93 morality is subjective. What is moral for some is immoral for others.
true. also if I were a ch0m0ped and I saw a victim on my medical staff, I would probably go to different hospital.... unless I'm particularly narcistic or sadistic.
Why not a different ward?
If he had a tumor that was what he died from, would he even survive the transfer?
"Enough to keep me occupied"
Literally his last words.
What’s most terrifying is that he seems so friendly and normal. If this was another episode, he could have just been some nice piano teacher with heart problems.

@@PreerachatPREEPRAMgood point.
@@viridianacortes9642My grandfather was friendly and normal too. Nobody had a clue about what he was doing to me.
@@Highkey-Loki I’m sorry for what you went through. I hope you heal and have a wonderful life now that you’ve survived all that.
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.
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.
@@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.
@@Anurepa while all that is true, you gotta admit, all they have to do is tell the boss that there's a personal reason going on and that they are going to need to move the patient to another hospital.
I cannot empathize with SA victims, but it doesn't mean losing your job over this is going to help anyone.
@@tekcomputers if it makes you feel better they are actors, I know this revelation must be hard for you.
@@wamengxiong0409I’m a little baffled by your comment. You “ cannot empathize with s/a VICTIMS” Do you have to experience being assaulted personally, to feel empathy for someone who has been?🤷♀️
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.
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.
@@lavans5721 I disagree with the first part, she shut him out and didn't tell him because it wasn't for her to tell and she was protecting the male nurse and his privacy
@@Kai-bf3qq except you can't both not tell someone about what's going on, and then get mad that the person doesn't know what's happening???
@@lavans5721 so you want her to violate the privacy of the nurse, or be completely fine with a child molester?
@@Kai-bf3qq said neither of those things, at all. You literally just assumed that of me.
She just shouldn't be angry at Choi. From his perspective, he only knows something's wrong from the nurses treating the patient (he doesn't know is a child molester) horribly, by sticking him purposefully badly. You can either:
a) tell Choi with the permission of the victim nurse, so he understands the situation and can manage it while being fair to the nurses
b) tell him nothing, and not be mad at him when he questions why all the nurses are abusing what seems to him like an innocent person
I had to see my abuser several days after he attacked me. I was 10 years old. I felt sick to my stomach and my heart was racing. It’s a horrible horrible feeling 🥹🥹
That must have been so hard. I hope you are doing better now.
Fake
@@lurtzy_ gigachad really wouldn't like you
@Southeastern Hub ❤
i was dating my abuser and i see him at high school every day, it makes me feel so nauseous. i know how you feel 🫂
Choi is the only doctor in this show that follows medical ethics
Beacuse he's also marine you fallows orders there
It's a bit debatable. This hospital has issues. After this point no one cares at all that three epi vials were used on God knows who or when. That's potentially deadly, and no one cares because it didn't bite them in the ass. Also, doing a private investigation just in case one of your friends is a murderer is beyond insane. The instant he saw those vials it should have been quarantined off and authorities called.
This show is so unrealistic
@@annaalestra4263 rofl, yeah, because marines NEVER do unethical things that breach protocols of behavior, decency, and the like. Noope...not ever. 🤣
@@happyninja42 🤷♀️😅
I like the lead doctor. You can tell he is upset at what he knows and wants to confront the patient, but he puts his feeling aside to do his job when everyone around him cant, it shows true leadership.
@@foolslayer9416 You aren't legally able to do that.
@@wintersbabyy He didn't harass her. No one told him what was going on, as far as he knew they wern't giving him care because they just didnt want to.
@@poopstick2711 Clearly you have never seen the show. He knows how seriously April takes her job so he knows she would never refuse care to any patient for no reason. He is just always a douche in every episode, especially to her.
@@wintersbabyyhow is it his fault when the Drs nurses weren't gonna tell him.. so who's really being a douche the Dr or the nurses. Cuz they weren't gonna tell him...
@ayer9416 Yeah, that way the monster can sue your hospital and get millions of taxpayer dollars out of it if anything goes wrong. Smart.
Thank god you're not a health care professional. That's why doing that job takes a mental fortitude and emotional maturity so above 99% of the populace. People thinking with their feelings instead of their brains, and letting go of basic legal and moral principles whenever their emotions are tested is why our society is becoming so decadent and regressive.
This is why my mom refused to let me or my sisters have any private lessons in anything. Tutoring, swimming, singing... It was always under her watch. It felt a little suffocating back then, but now I fully understand why she did it and I couldn't be happier. You simply can't trust people to take care of your babies. It's a sad, disgusting world we live in.
God bless your mother.
Women instructors are almost always safe.
It's the men.
It's always the men.
I'm a female private singing teacher and I love my job.
Not all instructors are evil
@@1tommyday yup, i would trust my kids with any number of female professionals but almost none of the men. in the words of luxeria, "not all men, but somehow always a man."
@@1tommydayIt's ALMOST always the men.
You clearly don't fully understand... since if you knew anything, you would know that its OVERWHELMINGLY more likely you are abused by a member of the family or a close family friend, of course it happens outside of that but its overwhelmingly people you are already close to. So she didnt let you do tutoring, how about be in a room with an uncle alone? cousin? father? grandfather? brother? your other sisters? these people statistically are far far far more likely to be the predator... she suffocated you for no reason other than a PERCEPTION of fear
his red, pasty face when he said "enough to keep me occupied" wouldve sent me over the edge having known what that doctor knew at that point...
Proof?
@@campbell3711

@@aeris2001why would he lie about that😂 it’s just a random patient he’d gain nothing from lying. I fact when the doctor started crying he put his job on the line
This is when you transfer the patient somewhere else. Too much liability.
Especially over heresay. This is an insane premise for these nurses to act this way and they have zero clue of its correct. People are effing insane
This is such a tough spot for healthcare professionals. Especially when the victim is a coworker you care about, it’s hard to remove your feelings and remember that you as his doctor or nurse are not the judge of his past transgressions. You are there to offer him the adequate amount of care. That is it.
If I’m being honest with myself, I could never be a nurse for a lot of reasons, but this one is the most difficult. I would probably magically go deaf and blind when that man coded. “I need a glass of water.” “Oh look, it’s time for my lunch break!”
I would probably just admit conflict of interest and get someone else to care for him.
@@eileensnow6153that’s why you shouldn’t be a doctor, some people will shine in this area you will shine in another job (I just realised how passive aggressive this sounds I’m sorry it’s definitely not aggressive 😂)

It’s very illegal and wrong obviously…but my God does it feel good to see it ya know.
Morality and Law are never black and white. Most of the time, everyone can agree that a child abuser doesn't deserve life, or at least free will anymore. Unfortunately, the law protects them from losing their life so vigilante justice is usually the way to go
Agreed
Just illegal.

@@victorferreira8332what!?
I know that feeling. I worked at a fast food restaurant and I had to talk to my abuser (a regular customer). It’s a horrible gut wrenching feeling. He lives in the same town as me unfortunately. When I see him out in public I walk the other way.
I'm so sorry that you have to go through this ❤ I'm sending you so much love!
Some day you will be healed enough to tell your story to the town and the whole world if you want it. I know you will. it might not be soon, but you will. Stay strong, and get out of that town when you're able, if that's something you think will help.
I'm so sorry!
You handled his food and nothing happened to him?? Lmaoo. So many good people here. I hope my abuser never let’s his guard down around me, I’m not as nice as y’all are.

This show has that sweet 2000s - early 2010s aura, lighting and background soundtracks did the trick. Will definitely watch as I miss those years
This show began in 2015. But you were close.
As a nurse I'm with Dr. Choi. At the very least I would've told the head nurse (or doctor if asked) that for personal reasons I feel unable to provide the adequate care.
All of them should be fired, all of them, and take their license away.
I agree and they should be fired..I'm a nurse and we have a job to do and it's our ethics to follow
Unfortunately it doesn't work like that. Doctor and nurses have to help everyone. Whether it's a mass shooter or a child molester. They don't get to pick and choose who they want to help. It's not a job for everyone.
@@scottmc1855 it... does work like that... of course not in a "this patient is annoying so I refuse" but if you can give a good reason (knowing his victim personally, affecting you emotionally ect. as long as you don't just... ignore it like the nurses did here) your superiors should have your back.
It's a bit of a gray area legally because you don't have the history yourself but a sensible superior who remembers nurses are always understaffed isn't gonna fire you off you are reasonable.
@@machazychaz - Yes, in certain circumstances a nurse or doctor can have themselves removed from a situation. And generally speaking a good boss would work with their employees and find a solution if it's available. But when every nurse refuses to help a patient in need... there is no alternative. Therefore, refusing the help a patient in need would be criminal.
I love the "I can't find anything"
"look one more time please"
*1/2 second later*
"Found it"
My mother had lung surgery. The pathologist said she had cancer. The doctor said check it again. Turns out she had lipoid pneumonia from vomiting mineral oil, and some of it she aspirated into her lungs. Glad the surgeon told the pathologist to check it again.
As someone whose abusers never got what they deserved watching this is so satisfying.
I'm sorry for your suffering. The legal system definitely needs to be looked at again, but with cases like Johnny Depp and Amber Heard I can somewhat see why some victims aren't taken seriously.
@@12SlimJims that's not exactly a good example:
Not only domestic violence cases are different from child abuse cases, the Depp v heard trial had an extreme slur and disinformation campain, led by the masculinists fans of Depp, that heavily influenced the outcome of the trial.
This...🤦🏻♀️
Mine never got what they deserved. I doubt they ever will.
@@tobiaswalker7562 Because it "never happened" and they "don't remember" anything...😤
I thought the doctor didnt care about the nurse but when he talked to the monster patient you could tell he was disgusted
I can’t believe they didn’t immediately tell him what was going on. It’s his patient he has a right to know why no one will help him
I get what you mean but at the same time, it was a serious matter, the nurse team only knew because they were there when the nurse had the mental breakdown after seeing his old instructor again. I do think they should’ve told him but I understand why none felt it was their right to. Even the nurse he did ask about it told him to ask someone else since it wasn’t suppose to be her business or her pain to share
It wasn't their story to tell.
@@ry.butterfly My thoughts exactly. Especially since sometimes, people don't want others to know what happened to them... People look at you and treat you differently... Or sometimes you're just not ready to face your trauma, or the questions that'll come with you revealing it... Sometimes revealing it unwillingly (even willingly) rehashes everything and can seriously damage mental health.
It's why it's encouraged for people to tell others their own time if they want (assuming the crime isn't ongoing or in investigation of course).
I think they didn't want to tell him, cause they knew he would react the way he did. Tell them to follow the code.
It’s a tv show

@@TheKarateDivaone of the best episodes

Unfortunately when you take an oath especially in the medical field you have to put patient care above your feelings. Even murders are supposed to be treated decently.
It’s funny how we pick and choose who gets the right to humane treatment. 😂😂
@@reesaallen5474 treat humane people humanely. Let the abusers be neglected. Sounds fair to me

@@ry.butterfly, then you become no better than the abuser. so if you let someone die because you refused to help, for example, you then because just as heinous as the person you hated and open yourself up to others treating you the same. Always remember karma follows us. If you live on hate, then it comes back to you.
@@craigclermond8001 You know this is BS and yet you spout it
I’m a former unit secretary/coordinator for a floor in a hospital and a patient murdered one of our nurses brothers and only received 6 years it was awful. She didn’t treat him but it was hard for her she cried the entire shift.
She should have gone home. That’s ridiculous that she stayed.
@ if was during Covid they were giving write ups and suspensions left and right I didn’t answer his call button though Idc can’t prove I seen it
All of this would’ve been avoided if they had just informed the doctor of what was going on from the get go. There was zero point in keeping him in the dark for something like this
Or, hear me out, tell the doc, "its something personal, so we need to move him to a different hospital...please"
As a nurse that works with the lowest of the low, I have to admit it takes a very special kind of person to work with this population. It most definitely is not for everyone, however we, as medical professionals took a Hippocratic oath to do no harm. Do these folks deserve it? Not up to me to decide. What is even more tragic is someone not making it through on my watch to give victims families the right to see the perpetrator answer for their crime and finally seek Justice for their loved one.
I'm no doctor or any kind of medical officer or nurse and I'm not medically educated. I just know that I must do my job and I must do it right. But what happens if the client I'm working for/with is my SA? I'm in a bit of a mental pinch. My SA died peacefully while I have to live with the fact that I trusted him and he put his hands all over me and damaged me beyond repair. On a professional standpoint, regardless of who he is, I should still serve/work for him. But on a personal level, I feel like I want to projectile-shoot my vomit straight to his face. It's a double-edged sword, in a way.
if the past 3 years proved, they disobey their oath. They made people violate their beliefs and forced them do things without their approval

Geez I know it's fictional but as a nursing student it makes me wonder how I'd react in a situation like this. I suppose it's similar to how lawyers feel when they have to "defend" horrible people? Like it's their job. Sure you can turn down the task and have someone else do it if you're that uncomfortable but at the end of the day all patients need care. This just gets me choked up though
Lawyers can't be good lawyers if they're good, honest people.
@@IkesPimpHand that didn't make any sense. try again.
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. Or have the staff talk it out with your manager. Good luck in your studies - it is a wonderful profession in spite of all the difficult situations you may encounter.
@Rai They’re saying that lawyers, in general, are crooked. That you can’t be a good person and a lawyer at the same time.
@@IkesPimpHand I asked my lawyer how they could defend certain people. He said they have to believe their clients. This lawyer was a real pitbull in court, but I also know he didn’t tolerate being lied to and cut ties with one of his clients for that reason.
Super weird to see people in this comment section defending this guy so much. 30 years and plenty of students, who knows how many lives he must have ruined, but HIS must be protected? He got away scot-free, too.
You have no sense of the implications of allowing doctors to pick and choose who they provide care to.
In real life, what if this wasn’t even the right guy, and this cult of nurses kills him deliberately? Is that the kind of precedent you want to set?
It’s more of the sense of medical practice and the nurses deliberately near borderline breaking the Hippocratic oath. Dude was horrible no doubt but still on the medical side of things all those nurses should be reprimanded for their actions against a patient either be pure or evil it’s their job
@@YTRook81 nurses dont take the oath but it doesnt who it is, they have a duty to provide care
If Adolf himself came into the hospital, you still gotta provide medical care
@@AnvilMAn603 where are you getting... nurses don't take the oath?
according to the American Nurses Association, they do.
This is why it is so important for a team to share with each other and trust each other. In an ER you need that bond in those hard times. What that poor character went through, people who do that don’t deserve to die because that is a release, but they definitely don’t deserve to live free or protected. Can’t find a body if there isn’t one to find.
They could've avoided the whole ordeal if they had just told Dr. Choi in the beginning.
If the patient (who clearly deserved what he got) did in fact pass "naturally", then.. Can someone who watched the full episode explain to me why there was 4 epi's in the trash? Still seems suspicious.
He did pass naturally, the Epi was from another patient and wasn’t cleared out, it’s a red flag for the entire episode
Could of been other epi pens from other patients and the doctors threw them away in the same trash which led up to 4
I see.. so the nurses still weren't really doing their jobs correctly since they didn't log those 3 (most likely not, but potentially life threatening) uses of epi's.

For the drama. Gets viewers curious about what's going on, and keeps them watching long enough for the reveal.
@@Eventidesis fair enough. But, surely, there has to be a way to do that without making nurses behave like secretive, petty school girls (no offense the actors, they did amazing).
@@kalypsobrooks6843 Yep, I agree. They should've minded their own business. If wanting to take revenge against the abuser was an option, let the victim do it.

Either give the proper amount of care or quit.
@@Ermac97 … I was thinking more in terms of police report and investigation into how he treats his other students, but that’s also an option - takes longer, and leaves room for more damage, but sure
@@kalypsobrooks6843 Of course, there's a way. The directors just don't want to. And, really, it's not the first time the characters have made immoral/unethical choices with refusal to communicate; viewers still enjoy the show, irrespective of the drama, so why bother changing it?
I do understand where the nurses are coming from but they do have to be professional no matter what the patient has done or is doing. The nurse has an ethical and humane profession and as such needs to extend that to every patient that comes under their care.
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.
@@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.
@@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.
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.
This here is why I’m glad I couldn’t be a doctor. No oath will protect that man from my wrath.

My normal is 125/80 to 130/80 at morning and 130/85 to 140/85 in the evening. I check my BP every day twice and has done so since beginning of March, ever since I was discharged from hospital. Normally, my BP doesn't give me problems, but since Covid and after it, I've also developed a case of meteopathy. In short, if a weather decides to play whack, my organism plays whack, and yesterday it nearly made me throw up...
covid doesn't give you that. the vaccines do along with foot long bloodclots

Choi is in the right here, it does not matter the circumstances that occurred in the past, keep the nurse he molested out of the room, it is their job to render care to no matter who
They can literally have their license revoked for refusing to serve treatment
@@pulacascar179 Healthcare workers can have a right to refuse care if they have been abused by a patient and also a couple of other exceptions. The patient is just transferred to a different care provider. You don't want a practitioner to begrudgingly work on a patient, because that runs the risk of the patient receiving second-rate healthcare. 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. This situation is dramatized, the nurse would simply not come in contact with the patient for the remainder of their treatment, and any nurse that treated the patient differently because of the situation would also likely be asked not to give care for the safety of the patient.
@@pulacascar179 Doctors fire their patients all the time. I’m not sure where you’re getting your information from. Doctors do not have an obligation to treat a specific patient at the patients request.
@@darkopz they can fire them if they want to. But they can’t promise treatment or not refuse treatment on paper and then suddenly refuse treating the patient
@@Samy-oz1gg All of the nurses were refusing to do any kind of care for this patient. That is something that can't be tolerated.
I would have notified hospital administration of the issue and let their legal team iron it out.
Dr. Choi had nothing to apologize for when they were actively avoiding and him and not communicating. Coupled with them also actively avoiding treating the patient and Dr. Choi later trying to look out for them, he had nothing else to go on. And the worst part is that none of the nurses seem to understand this offense and at the end the last nurse doesn't seem to care. This episode is frustrating on so many levels.
I very much agree
I mean, it's true, but he accused April of killing him so, a little apology is welcome 😂

If a Nurse let my abuser die, I'd be on their side and I'd make sure they didnt get fired. Hippocratic oath be damned
Cool cool cool so she gets to be Judge Jury and Executioner.
I partially disagree. If someone is so willing to throw out the ethics and ideals behind the Hippocratic Oath, especially due to personal bias (be it deserved or not), then they never really wanted to be a doctor in the first place, and they need to either leave or be removed from the occupation. Also, no offense, but you would stand no chance of actually keeping this nurse on the hospital’s employ. Now, that being said, if this happened, you and I would both be supporting this nurse, not for making the right ethical choice, but the right moral one…
This is why you're not a physician lmao
@@CXY96 this is exactly why I'm not a physician lol
As much as it’s deserved, one person isn’t worth ur license being terminated. The medical field isn’t your ideal choice if you won’t put ur patients first over your feelings. While ur safety is also important, if someone dies because of you, that’s your fault and you don’t deserve to stay with ur license and job. That’s why careers like this are extremely stressful for the people that can’t handle extreme cases like molestation. It’s fine to feel angry. But if you’re gonna let anger make u kill a patient that was assigned to you, you’re a hazard in that work place
The look on Choi's face at 5:02 is the "if i didn't have a career that i cared about you would be a bloody mess on the ground right now" look.
Actively avoiding and not communicating with the doctor is egregious. In my opinion, while they were trying to help, they made a poor choice. Dr. Choi had no chance to make an informed decision because of their negligence.
It feels so nice to see someone get what they deserve though
No one who sexually abuses a child should go unpunished under Law,
but with that is a legal system--including a Court of Justice. We shouldn't aim to live in a world where one accusation leads to conviction.
Believe all women period.
@@jayoh360 The issue with that is that it implies guilt based on a claim which can lead to injustice some of the time.

to institute justice and not convict those who aren't guilty of the offence.

I agree
Disagree
I agree
Yep.
All the people that disagree with you just straight up shouldn’t be in the medical field
it took dr. choi to go around nurses asking for WHY instead of any of the nurses coming forward and saying because we're discriminating him because our friend A got a bad history with him.
it's not because he's just a child molester but because he's a child molester that has a history with one of the nurses.
it became a personal thing after knowing that, but if he's unaffiliated with anyone, they would've treated him normally.
Choi is the head doctor he should know why his nurses aren’t effectively testing his patient
You’re making an assumption. If they’d found out he was a CM through other means, I’m sure the outcome would’ve been the same. I HOPE it would’ve been the same….
@@BMarie774it wouldn’t have as in the medical field, you have to treat them no matter what
Are you the writer? When do we have a new episode? No. Then stop making assumptions. I believe they would've acted the same.
At least justice is served for people who were victims of that abuser
How so? Guy just died, he was never held accountable.
I could never do this job!! I have so much respect for doctors and nurses!
I can related to this episode a tad bit. I'm a healthcare worker and I work with all kinds of people. One time, I was taking a pretty talkative prisoner to his tests and he outright admitted to me that he molested minors and basically bragged about it. He was outright disgusting but I put that aside because its not my job to judge him. My job is to get him medical care. Even if you're a prisoner, no matter what you have done, you are still a patient like everyone else. I couldn't stand the guy, but that's just how it is. Imo, Ethan should have requested to have him moved to a different department because it was clear that the nurses were against him. In reality, April and Doris would have been fired too
The second it was a conflict of interest he should have been transferred. Doctors and nurses have 0 right to put ANYTHING above patient care, safety and rights. Keeping him there presented a clear and present risk.
I’m surprised there wasn’t a push to get Hank to contact other parents to warn them about him, maybe even get police involved. But this is a hospital drama, not police drama.
He deserved what he got
Doctors and nurses are people too. Why do they not have the right to put morality and ethics above the job they had to swear to uphold ethics and morality on?
@@strangerinastrangeland3613 they’re the ones that chose the job either treat the patient you’re given or quit
@@strangerinastrangeland3613 Because they have the right to not be on the team, but not the right to actively interfere in care. Particularly in academic medical centers which typically get medicaid funding, breaking EMTALA as these nurses did can result in massive fines and removal of government funding. I say this as a healthcare provider who is an SA survivor myself.
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
What's worse is the nurses wouldn't tell Ethan anything. They're like nah, we're going to give you the cold shoulder, too.
9:46 There was NO "Maybe". None of the nurses should have immediately dismissed Ethan with the flimsiest of excuses of not relaying what they knew of the patient. Ethan was totally justified to be suspicious of monique.
I get the nurses’ feelings, but that type of behavior opens them all up to lawsuits and only leads to them losing their jobs and the abuser getting a huge payday.
I have friends who work in Law Enforcements. When they have to guard inmates that are on hospital visits, no one outside of the institution can know about the crimes that they committed for this very reason. Many people can get very emotional and let that dictate their actions. It could be the medical team or other patients and people nearby who were victims or know of any victims of those crimes. Thankfully the team in this show worked together and had an understanding.
We could look it up. I worked at a hospital that had a state inmate floor.
We knew what they did.
We could look up their photo and info and next parole date. All that info is easily accessed. It’s public info.
Here, in Australia, its a breach of the prisoners rights to tell anyone what they did - The rule has nothing to do with quality of health care should the crime be revealed.
I was watching the video and it suddenly stopped at 0:27 while he was inhaling but I didn’t realize right away so for a couple of seconds I was just thinking wow this guy can hold his breath for a really long time
I don't know why I am watching medical drama clips as someone in the medical field? A little part of me dies inside every time they do something wrong in the medical shows.
it's a show
I tell myself I'm studying by identifying everything wrong and what they should be doing instead
That’s how I feel when I watch shows that involve psychology 😅 sometimes I have to pause and shout at the screen
My abuser committed suicide many many years after the assault without ever having to Answer for what he did to me and countless others and yes there are others he abused. I suffered in silence for so long it messed with me mentally. I was 7 at the time and he was 16. His mom helped cover up the abuse. Being my mom’s best friend and my babysitter I was always left alone with him. Whenever she found out what he was doing to me she brainwashed me into believing I’d get in trouble not him. After a year of abuse and she finding out I wasn’t only one she hauled ass out of the state we lived in. Nothing was done about what he did to us girls. I found out some years ago that he’d committed suicide and honestly I’m more angry that he took the cowardly way out.
I can’t imagine the types of monsters that do the crime and then other monsters that defend them. I hope you’re able to heal
I’m not a nurse, but I cannot honestly say that I would have treated that guy better if I were. People like that don’t deserve compassion and moralistic care.
But you're happy to take their money.
@@neuralwarp like I said; I’m not a Nurse
Then you should be in prison for life for being a terible person
First rule of being a doctor or nurse is "do no harm", but hearing what happened, I feel like there should be some exceptions
It is true that you're supposed to treat every patient but people have been murdered for considerably less.
As a nurse it still rubs me the wrong way that they were neglecting their patient and intentionally jabbing him with needles. Yes, there are some terrible people in this world. I've had patients that I absolutely can't stand and even patients with criminal backgrounds, but I would never in a million years dream of neglecting or causing harm to one of my patients just because I thought that they deserved it. Any nurse that would do that is not fit to hold their license.
Oh...and they KILLED HIM.
@@xavariusquest4603 No they didn't. You have to watch the whole thing until the end.
Those ladies went to bat for him. I would have done the same damn thing no shame.
It's will the medical industry is going to sh*t. I assume you'd also tell a person who didn't get a vacc they deserve to die also. Now I know people aren't perfect, but when you dont have medical standards, you open the doctor to human rights abuses which makes you not much better than the person you condemn. I agree to have your friends back, but they should have removed the traumatized nurse from the floor, not decided to play god with the patient's life.
@@craigclermond8001 patients who choose to reject treatment also choose the consequences. Yes, if you get sick after purposefully refusing the only current treatment, you put the consequences of disease and even death on yourself. It’s no one’s fault but yours.
@@Creepystalker102 point is the vacc doesn't stop you from getting sick or treat anything, so your point has no validity. Just a big pharma spouge to make money.
Also, I agree if a person gets sick and dies, that's their choice. Thats is very different from a doctor choosing to let them die simply because he didn't like their decision. Ultimately the point I'm making is professionals have a higher standard than street joes.
Everyone has their reasons for doing things. I'll bet you wouldn't tell a cancer patient they should die because they declined chemo.

Why is Choi apologizing? "Oh, I am sorry for worrying that you are off-the-charts unethical, but you would't actually break the law."
I love MadTV. They always have some real comedic skits.
😂😂😂
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...
That code was SO TERRIBLE that im not sure dr choi DIDNT want him dead.
Doctors and nurses helped both sides during WW2, as bad as it is they have took an oath to help them medically. You dont have to like them but you still have to help them
"Or don't bother clocking back in" Only in shows like this a doctor has power to "fired" a nurse or say something like this and don't get un trouble.
Technically he has good reasons, all those nurses started avoiding him Ike the plague and refusing treatment services
Bruh, just call Hank Voight, he'd handle it for you.

And they're absolutely right.
It would be morally wrong to help that monster, saving his life would lead to more hurt innocents, the justice system failed, and sometimes you have to help society.
Dr Choi is a hypocrite. He picks and chooses what he gets worked up about. If it's something that's close to his heart, he will mistreat and bully patients. If he doesn't care, he just doesn't care. Completely lacking in any moral compass whatsoever... definitely my least favourite character :)
At least he didn't violate a patient's rights by completely disregarding the DNR said patient had in place
Dr choi good for a different
He has his moral compass but has no respect for anyone elses.
tbh none of the characters on this show, especially the doctors, are very likeable
Lmao he has a moral compass. It’s just not YOUR moral compass.
They should have told him why they were responding like that. It is not up to us to condemn people. It isn't about what they did or didn't do. You still have to do what you are supposed to do in that position. You are obligated to do so. You must follow protocol period, point, blank.
Dr Choi’s co workers are making me so angry for not telling him why.
Pheochromocytoma. This med student must've just taken his first board exam recently. Well done!
This is TV I totally get it but it's scary the ppl who say this is justified irl... You are nurse/Dr you are not a judge you don't know full stories & not you're job to do any of that. You treat patients equally it's the oath you take & should be taken seriously
Exactly. Putting aside the ethics involved, if he'd lived, they'd have put the whole hospital at risk for legal ramifications. Incredibly unprofessional.
They should have informed the doctor and if they couldn't reasonably provide care to the patient, they should have informed the doctor of that as well and allowed him to find someone who could.
@@ladyofrillwater cuz it's a tv show, they had to do stupid sheit. When in reality the doctor would gotten those involved thrown in jail.
What a coincidence the guy had a rare condition that explained away his sudden death. But that still doesn't explain the four empty ampules in the trash... And for people not working in the medical field, it's probably difficult to understand just how unethical the nurses' behavior was. Bottom line, it doesn't matter who your patient is, you treat them all the same. The minute you make an exception it becomes easier to do it again and then again, and soon you have people being treated differently due to differences in race, religion, political ideology, etc... I don't know any real hospital unit that would have tolerated an entire nursing staff ignoring a doctor's order and patient the way they did, if only for the obvious legal exposure. In the end, you don't have to like the guy, you don't even have to be pleasant -- just professional.
That was the worst code I’ve ever seen. They always last at least five minutes and never thirty seconds.
Horrible lack of professional ethics. You aren't judge and jury. The patient has rights. If you can't accept that, you shouldn't be in medicine.
Even if she did something her best case is to keep her mouth shut. Don’t tell anyone anything!
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.
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.
One of the reasons why I never wanted to be a doctor in a hospital is because I came from an abusive father; suffered severe ptsd. When I see someone who has been abused or if I hear what someone has done, especially to people who are vulnerable, will make me lose my mind. Thank God I have my ptsd in check, but one little trigger will make me from a calm man to a wild boar in seconds.
Great episode. But did Hanks parents not tell the other parents what happened?! I can't imagine he would have many students if they told everybody idk.
Maybe they did but they weren't believed.
Or Hank told them but they didn't believe him.
Or....Hank never told them for fear of what would happen
Back in a time when you didn’t speak about abuse. You didn’t want others to know.

It was hard but we gave him our best. He was transferred to another floor the next day. I'm proud of how WE all acted in treating him though it was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do.
It's not in the hospital's hands to determine someone's fate, even if they're horrible. The nerve on these nurses would've goten them fired on any reputable hospital
That has been my biggest fear being in nursing, because we can not choose our patients.
The way he said
"Enough to keep me occupied."
Made me squirm and feel genuinely revolted.
This is EXACTLY why i dont go to any medical professional or private teacher by myself - my family thinks im crazy but its to prevent this happening to me again
