A 11 year-old's Heartbreaking Battle with Cancer | Chicago Med | MD TV

Damn give that woman an Oscar. You could hear the pain in her cries...

I dont blame manning for crying shes been treating haley for quiet some time . Its truly heartbeaking that these kind of things happen in real life :(

My uncle, who works in emergency medicine, once told me a story that I'll never forget. He treated a sweet little girl, about 9 or 10, with leukemia. He was her favorite doctor. She was afraid of needles and she would never let anyone else, not even the nurses, draw her blood except for him. They grew attached and he came to love her as his daughter but unfortunately, she didn't make it. He would always tear up whenever he'd tell me about her. He told me that's when he realized that when you work in healthcare, you need to be empathetic yet you also need to detach your emotions from your patients. Although he never completely moved on from her passing, she inspired him to be strong and continue his work. Amazing girl.

I cried when Dr Manning was too. How can you not. I know doctors and nurses are supposed to be emotionally detached from their patients, but sometimes you can’t help it when you’ve been treating them for so long. My heart broke for the parents and especially the mother. Wow that was great acting

i recently lost a patient in my dementia unit after working with her for months. i was the only staff she remembered and she considered me family (which is incredible considering the memory issues). it was completely unexpected and seeing the emotions really sent me back to my own feelings that day. i’ll never forget the last words she said to me, holding her in my arms as she took her last breath, and silently crying while attending to the 14 others on my unit. crying now writing this. the acting is amazing and can confirm very real in these situations. you get so attached to long term care even though you’re not supposed to.

Ik as medical professionals you have to be professional and emotionally detached but when you treat a patient for so long you naturally build a bond with them, its so hard and sad when those patients don’t pull through. Just know that you did everything you could and I applaud and have massive respect for people who work in the medical field. All types ❤

You know what this made me think of? The Karen who coughed on a woman at Pier 1 during the pandemic for filming her behaving badly. Turns out the coughed on woman was a foster mom of like 10 kids with brain cancer. Karen was eventually arrested and ostracized from her community. Rightly so bc this clip is EXACTLY what she could have done to a woman battling brain cancer.

I know what that feels like. My baby boy died on September 28 of aggressive and quick soft palate cancer. At the end, he couldn't swallow, with saliva leaking from his mouth, he couldn't breathe anymore, it became that obstructive. Watching him deteriorate was worse than watching him pass 💔 He was 12. His 12th birthday will be next month.

igrotum has restored my optimism. Its a catalyst for positive change in my health.

I watched doctors try to revive my 13.5 month old son to no avail. RIP my little buddy.

Even though this is a tv show, you can't help but think that stuff like this happens in real life.

This is what people in the healthcare industry face. Just watching this scene, even knowing it's just a TV show, breaks my heart. I try to be healthy as possible to somehow reduce these incidences from happening. I and will always have the highest respects to these heroes.

there's only 2 things that scare me in this world, #1 Drive thru windows (you can thank final destination for that one) and the #2 is the scream of a parent who just lost a child, it hits you in your core, and the woman who played the mother nailed it on the head. sent chills down my spine and it was very sad to watch.

One of the most heartbreaking areas in a hospital is the pediatric hem-onc unit. Because of an immune deficiency I was always placed there and there are some things I heard/saw happen still haunt me. The sound of parents grief when they’ve lost their child is something I’d never want to hear again. I had a little boy “buddy”(6 vs my 16) who’d always come out to the child life room when I was there (the floor did all kinds of arts and crafts and a playroom stocked with games and toys) He had lung cancer that metastasized to his liver, heart, and brain one morning he couldn’t breathe and started seizing… I remember them calling a code to his room and about 30 minutes later hearing his mom scream and completely break down, all the nurses were crying at that loss and I was bawling like a baby. 6 year olds shouldn’t die for any reason not just because of cancer.

hearing the mother's anguished cries at losing her sick daughter just hurts me so deeply. you have to remind yourself it's just a tv show, it's not real, but it feels so real. she deserves so much praise for her performance in this scene.

Dr Charles is almost literally always on the job. Respect to the character, and all Dr’s like him.

Young cancer patient with no immune system who has a super bug that’s resistant to antibiotics. No masks, keeps her on the ER floor (when there might be an outbreak), dosnt quarantine her or have a protocol for the people who do come in the room.. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Welp that’s a lot help! Also this is why palliative care and palliative doctors are so important! They have such a hard job but they make losing a loved one just a little bit easier. Granted not but much but that little bit does a lot. You actually feel like you get to prepare yourself and take the time to say your goodbyes to them instead of it feeling so sudden.

Cancer is just evil. 😢

Natalie’s acting was so raw in this scene. Add on the mother’s heartwrenching cries, this is probably one of the saddest scenes in TV history

The woman who plays the mother has to be a mother in real life. Her cries, her screams after losing the girl—only a mother could channel that kind of pain like that.
