Cutting The Life Line | Chicago Med

I had a heart transplant 2 years ago and this video made me emotional, being a donor is such an amazing thing. I was 15 at the time and I randomly got sick and was in desperately in need of a new heart, thankfully I received one. I’m now 18 and just started university thanks to my donor. I know that when it’s my time to go I’ll be doing the same so that someone else can have a shot at life.

The doctor/nurse are completely wrong in this case. Glad Dr Choi changed his mind. This man was clearly in a state of mind capable to consent to his medical care. He knew he was dying, and with ALS it’s a slow, painful death where you end up trapped in your body waiting to die. He is fully understanding of the fact the Heparin would kill him within hours, and he wanted that in order to save his organs and donate them to others .

Why are people surprised or frustrated this has always been April’s character, she has always been anti-euthanasia always looking for ways to life not death. While Choi has always been a practical thinker that decides based on the patients situation, unlike April he doesn’t have a fixed stance so when euthanasia is requested and he knows it’s in their best interest and the interest of others he’s all for it. Plus you should understand April’s feeling here, having had a miscarriage. Their characters are dynamic that’s never going to change

This guy is a legend. He basically saved 58 people. EDIT: ik is fake but still,if this were real,he would have saved 58 people

I’m so happy I became an organ donor. Why waste essential body parts to the ground or in a furnace. If by the off chance that I die young, somebody else can have a chance to live

When Maggie goes to speak to him about changing his Advanced Directive, she does it so peacefully and explains it well. Also, looks exceptionally beautiful in that scene

From this clip I get the feeling that April is the kind of parent who would force the doctors to do anything to keep her child alive a little longer even if its born with something that will absolutely kill it and only brings unimaginable pain.

He died a hero for so many. What a legend 😭

I’m going to miss that guy. What a legend he was

My granddad was very sick at the end of his life. he had Heart problems for many years and all the medications that were helping him damaged other organs so he needed medications for that and so on. At the end he was so sick and in so much pain. It were the days before Christmas and I had a wish I hated. My wish was that my granddad would die rather sooner than later. He died last december 25th at home after a christmasparty with all his children and grandchildren eating his favorite food. He was listening to "you raise me up" with my grandmother. She said: Beautiful song. And he answerd yes a second before passing away. It couldn't be more beautiful.

I understand April's respect for life, but she has no respect for the patients wishes and thinks that what she wants should override others, even when they are fully informed and capable. I don't like that.

She is literally insufferable. “Get the meds.” “No” “okay, you’re fired.” Could have a quick and clean break.

Quality of life over quantity of life. This man was going to die one way or another. By giving the patient the option to go on blood thinners, knowing what it would do, you’ve given him the chance to help others like he wanted.

This man lost his life saving over 58 people he is an example of legends

I just hot to say. The makeup team did great. The way throughout the episode you see him slowly descend. His eyes going fully bloodshot before he dies, the end of his nose going purple. They really did well in this episode.

A doctor and a nurse don't understand consent and autonomy????

God I’ve binged watch this show for so long help me

We've just had a referendum here in New Zealand, the End Of Life Choice Bill, and it went through. Terminal patients who have a prognosis of 6 months or less are evaluated by psychiatrists and doctors who can sign off on the procedure l

He reminds me so much of Lee Everett from the Walking Dead

The doctor and nurse got way to involved, this man wanted to go out an awesome hero - his choice
