Dr. Charles is truly amazing! He diagnosed the woman so easily. His knowledge of medicine and psychology makes him the best doctor on the show, in my opinion.
@@drakecarter1780 House has a whole team of people who help him diagnose patients, some of whom double as foot soldiers to break into his patients' homes on a dime. Dr Charles is not only working as one man with perhaps a doctor to help, but he does it without risking being sued for medical malpractice, property damage or assault every week. Dr Cuddy has to set aside a whole budget and a legal team to tackle House's incidents. Dr Charles is not only more efficient, effective and kinder as a doctor, he's also a better deal.
Even for a psych consult they are suppose to do blood work, EKG and at least check your vitals. Ive never heard of that not being done first, while waiting for a psych consult in the meantime.
it’s actually happened to me. when I was 9 I went into the ER for a different medical reason, and when they were asking the standard questions they asked “have you had thoughts of harming yourself today?”. I was a kid so I stupidly answered honestly that yes, I had. they immediately sent me in and made me do the whole psych routine without checking my vitals or anything. they only got to what I was actually there for after I waited an hour to be cleared by the psychologist. my parents were furious, and I’ve never been honest with ER doctors about that stuff since.
Even in my experience, they have to do a full work up to make sure no preexisting conditions are to blame for psych issues, even with documented mental illness
I've been to the ER for psych issues, can confirm. At one point in my life the nurses commented on how I automatically held my arm up for checking when I was first seen.
This whole episode was a level in 'the writers have never been near a hospital or even watched their own episodes'. Because getting a legal guardian for impaired patients is also just standard operating procedure. It wouldn't even take that long and they specifically have a staff member who handles finding guardians and scheduling the hearings asap, iirc.
Falsifying consent in this situation is the sort of thing that get's doctors permently disbarred, and is really stupid because there is a very simple procedure - an appointed guardian that would almost certainly agree with the decision to perform surgery. The issue here isn't some massive ethical dilemma, it's a surgeon with a God Complex that can't be bothered with "silly" rules that protect patients from abuse by arrogant doctors.
They didn't have her informed consent, but it was still legal because two doctors agreed that the surgery was essential and signed off to that effect. I believe that's the procedure if there's no next-of-kin to consent.
"Ollie" (Oliver Platt) has been my absolute favorite since the "new" BratPack of the '90s. What a gem of an actor , and from all accounts of a *person* as well.
I'd say that would typically be in a situation where they're likely to die if they don't get the surgery done immediately but I think the implication here is in this situation shes not showing signs of being in immediate danger and therefore it would be assault to do the surgery since it's not a dire situation
One common symptom of altered mental status (vague catch-all term) is that your memory is very poor, or you’re there but you’re not understanding and you don’t even know that you don’t understand, so you wouldn’t remember
If no one is available to give consent and its a lifesaving procedure you usually don't need it (if full code). Or they can't find someone and its not as emergent then two physicians can sign off consent for the pt.
@@stttttipaI think he walked off the roof, seconds after he was smiling and happily engaging with his colleagues. You don't see it coming. Crazy episode.
@@MrsCKane It's even better if you notice that you do "see it coming"...in hindsight. Throughout the season he has smaller and bigger moments struggeling, but it never feels like preparation for big "OMG"-moment
I'm glad that in most of Europe in casess like this, decision goes to Doctors - because that patient could very much die. Dr, Charles was lucky his gamble paid off
Ideally they would still need to give informed consent. If she is incapable (not unwilling) to give it then it would be a relative or legal carer. If they are not available and its life threatening then doctors would be able to act in what they think is the patients best interest. The shrink has said she is incapable therefore it comes down to what a reasonable competent (preferable with a 2nd opinion) surgeon thinks is for the best. The shrink case is the most interesting here through, a patient is assumed to be competent unless clearly shown otherwise (ie unconscious, semi-conscious, formally diagnosed with a serious mental health issue, courts have ruled). A shrink saying not competent just like that is an invasion of a patient autonomy
Oh wow that’s a first 😂 a small scene from here (who approved the surgery?) was in the clip I watched right before this! It was the one with Sarah and a patient needing shelter
If it isn't a "perform surgery NOW or she dies in the next hour" level of necessity, doing it without informed consent is illegal. And she's not in a position to give informed consent. Though really, this is precisely the sort of thing they get next of kin in for, don't know why they didn't do that.
Plenty of people don't have next of kin. My dad is 71 and when he dies my nearest relative will be an aunt in England, and no hospital is going to be able to find her without me telling them.@@dragon_toad
dr. charles wanted to start her on antibiotics first to see if that cleared up the infection. she wasn't at imminent risk of dying if they waited on the surgery, and she did end up improving on the antibiotics so surgery wasn't needed after all.
A lot of elderly patients come in with signs of dementia or the like and actually it's due to an infection (often kidney/urinary). I think every one gets a bit 'out of sorts' when they're ill, even with a 'simple infection'. Fever can make all organs work differently, especially the brain. So just because there are symptoms that may be related to psychiatry, having a general work up to rule out something else should be essential.
Very true. I’m genetically prone to kidney stones that sometimes back up the ureter and cause an infection. I absolutely feel out of sorts when that happens. Sluggish and foggy, is a perfect way to describe it.
What's up with Dr. Charles not liking or getting along with the surgeon? There seemed to be some tension at the end even when the surgeon seemed to be trying to put it to rest. Idk?
Ich liebe Dr. Charles als Mensch weil er persönlich mit Menschen ins Gespräch kommt und sehr nett ist vom Charakter. Dr. Charles ist super als Mediziner und Psychiater. Was ich sehr positiv finde ist das Dr. Charles nicht nur psychiatrisch denkt und behandelt sondern sehr genau nachfragt bzw hinterfragt ist es psychisch oder wirklich eine ernsthafte körperliche Erkrankung . So einen Arzt hätte ich auch gerne gehabt.
he’s exactly the kind of person who would do this. Any doctor, who actually follows their oath, would not do surgery on a patient that they did not consent to. But especially seeing as he’s a psych doc he would know better than anyone, whether or not a person is capable of giving consent. So it actually makes sense that he is the one calling it off.
Yeah like Alex said he's a psych doctor so he's very able to give advice regarding surgery if he's concerned the patient is too psychiatrically impaired to consent to it. Plus she was his patient at first
Are you talking about the cardiology bits? He went to medical school like any other doctor and has years of ER experience, he knows body medicine just as well as mind medicine

Not how it works in real life and Charles is still an amateur compared to House.
Well, Dr Charles isn’t real…
@@drakecarter1780naw duhhhh it’s a show 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yeah, and especially considering he gets judged for being a psychologist. 🙂

The law over here is that if someone is not able to give consent then you can assume consent. That's where it gets grey
I whole heartedly agree
Doctors don’t work for the Barr. Attorneys do.
Bar? You mean the medical board?

Dr.Charles Is A Really Great Doctor To Help Patients😊
Did she ever get her cookie dough ice cream?
Legend has it to this day, she’s still waiting for that cookie dough ice cream
I'm kinda sad for Dr Charles that in the end, the patient doesn't remember him standing up to the surgeons for her.
We’re gonna have to agree to disagree on this one, right?
Yeah we can just disagree, that be alright!
🤣 the sass!
My dad has that same heart pillow. Kinda brought back a memory.
Did your dad have open heart surgery?
Yes. Years ago, the pillow has been signed by family members and close family friends. I think it’s currently tucked away in storage. @@kellybeck4579
They do surgery on people like this all the time if surgeons want to and it’s deemed “best” for them
I'd say that would typically be in a situation where they're likely to die if they don't get the surgery done immediately but I think the implication here is in this situation shes not showing signs of being in immediate danger and therefore it would be assault to do the surgery since it's not a dire situation
Considering this is America and the. Cost of Healthcare no one is touching. Her unless the surgery is paid for
@shelldie8523 yes, this show is set in an alternate universe where adequate healthcare is provided to US citizens.
@@shelldie8523 come on, US surgeons are all too happy to do the surgery and just send you the bill for a couple hundred thousand in medical debt
@@scrubaatividya exactly and if no kin they appoint a guardian ad litem. Who in a case like this, would give consent.
Dr. Charles is right. She cannot consent and it’s not an emergency.
The ending confused me. She was better from the antibiotics but forgot Dr. Charles? Wtf?
One common symptom of altered mental status (vague catch-all term) is that your memory is very poor, or you’re there but you’re not understanding and you don’t even know that you don’t understand, so you wouldn’t remember
Which also further implies her consent for the surgery was bogus.
At least the female doctor was truthful
She also plays as a cop in the show called the rookie
If no one is available to give consent and its a lifesaving procedure you usually don't need it (if full code). Or they can't find someone and its not as emergent then two physicians can sign off consent for the pt.
Love Dr Charles.
The young doctor who messed up her diagnosis and just assumed that she was psychotic, he concerns me. Lol.
Dude killed himself later

The surgeon is dating Dr Charles daughter during this episode. He doesn’t have the best relationship with his daughter but is protective of her.
The surgeon decides he needs the money more than saving her life.
Did no one think to call her family?
