Dr. Choi: “I’m a big believer in Psychiatry”
Also Dr. Choi: *“Maybe bipolar people should just stop being bipolar”*
This was before he accepted his ptsd. He was in denial about his ptsd and all mental illness. After Daniel helped him accept that his ptsd is real, choi did a 180 and started to accept mental illnesses and became a big supporter of psychiatry.
That was exactly my point. I don't think he'd do that. I find it hard to believe *ANY* trained doctor would do that.
I love this scene. It shows the massive misunderstanding of mental illnesses we still have, even in the medical field.
As someone who suffers from multiple MH issues, I appreciate that they depict misunderstanding so well, to show the side effects it can have on the patients, and to show how information is so important
Watch the rest of the episode. You find out he suffers from horrible PTSD and can’t control it, so whenever he runs into someone else with a mental health issue they can’t control, he gets freaked out cause it’s like he is seeing himself and that fear turns into anger that he feels about himself but redirects it to the other person. It’s not great what he thinks, and the way he copes with his mental health obviously is not healthy or else he wouldn’t get so scared and freaked out but the show is showing how some people live normal lives with their mental health issues and can be happy like the lady with Bipolar Disorder and others like Dr Choi are angry and don’t know what to do to fix it because it’s not a physical thing that can be fixed with a surgery or transplant.
cezza180 And it is so hard when things don’t work; or you have to use a drug that has rotten side effects. I have to take seroquel for schizoid episodes but its biggest (pun just realized) side effect is that you gain weight. I’m just under 200 pounds but have lost twenty in the last two years!
A lot of that "misunderstanding" is actually true tho.
lunameowl Please elaborate?
"All due respect it is a medical issue" Yes! Thank you. I've been diagnosed bi-polar and I completely agree.
Julia Wintersgill what is bi polar
@@isabelle18xx21 Manic Depression, I have it too. There's no cause for it but people think it's mainly heriditary. There's two different types, I have type two so I get hypomanic (not as strong as mania) but it can go into spending thousands of dollars (debt), paranoia, hypersexual, and much other symptoms. Depression can make you very suicidal and the suicide rate goes a lot higher. I had a hypomanic episode at school at thought people were watching me and trying to kill me. It's very scary. I didn't trust anyone for a long time. I also didn't sleep for 5-6 days at a time.
momo rats oh ok thx
My mum has bipolar, so I know a little about it. Yes, it is a medical condition, I agree.
OR DO YOUUUUUU
Im not bipolar, but i have anxiety and depression and being told to knuckle down and get over it makes everything 200000000times worse
Same
Ik.... It is horrid because people will say that to you (And me)

Same here: I *LOVE* it so much when people tell me to “harden up” or “tough it out” when I’m having a panic attack... meanwhile I feel like I’m suffocating and that I’m lungs will collapse onto its self
What number is that
Damn out of all people i wouldve never expected A DOCTOR to think that mental patients can just simply "cope" with their illness!
Writers who push out poor material can
@@kristethba7475 you say that as if (some) real life Doctors dont think like that, i've had first hand experience watching a physical health Doctor ignore the implications that would happen if their Bipolar patient went off their lithium, as if she could just deal with it with a little therapy
@@kristethba7475 Are you actually calling me a liar... aha okay then. Just to clarify though maybe for your peace of mind, im not saying all Doctors are like that, in fact very few Doctors are. Most are educated and understanding, however, on rare occasions, such as the occasion i took my Grandma to the hospital to get her Parkinson's check-up, the Doctors are somewhat too focused on their own specified field of medicine and aid. This Doctor had specifically asked her if she was currently, or would be willing to merely get counselling for her Bipolar instead of being on lithium. After trying to explain that that wasn't an option he still didnt understand.
But yeah, just ignore me, what do I know right? I'm just making things up 😒
my fiance's supervisor at a call center who also happens to have a license as a registered nurse told him he doesn't need his anxiety meds as it's all in the mind. I could not believe she even said that.
They are amazing doctors! They save lives and even bring them back. You can’t judge their techniques they have saved people, and that’s all that matters.
dr charles' face when choi says "how much of that is self indulgence" is me whenever a neurotypical says ANYTHING about my adhd
Too bad Dr. Choi isn’t a neurotypical. Dude has PTSD and he’s lashing out because he’s scared.
@@shimmershine6902 PTSD isn't neurodivergence
@@nonamelmao Depends. Some people use “neurodivergent” to mean “on the autism spectrum”. Another definition is “generally mentally ill”.
@@shimmershine6902 ....no
@@briellelauren2276 Yes. Have you not seen the entire discourse of whether or not people with depression are considered neurotypical? It’s an actual conversation people are having. Trying looking it up sometime
Dr.Choi: “So, what did you replace the Lithium with?”
Dr.Charles: “Lithium”
lol
😂
thanks for the transcript
Telling a neurodivergent person to just "Deal with it" and "be better" without medication or help, is exactly the same as asking a near sighted person to "just have better sight" without their glasses :/
Omg, that's so on point 😂
My mother has bipolar and her kidneys are failing because of the medication. I would just think can't they just figure out a medication that doesn't kill you in the process of helping another problem.
So the lithium damages the kidney in the process of treating the bipolar disorder?
@@keithtiangreen5910 yes it does after a long term use .
Thats a problem with most medications im afraid. After a while they cause a problem whilst helping another problem. My dad is on countless medications for his epilepsy, depression and arthritis and one causes kidney failure so he’s on a medication to prevent that but that causes weight gain so hes on one to combat that and it goes on. Its even worse if you become dependent on that drug
Keithtian Green WOW-I’m glad I had a bad reaction to lithium when the doctors tried me on it. I trembled and had tics constantly-it was horrible!
Kristy Buckley idk if you know this but there are other drugs i have BP 1 disorder and used lithium and after 4 years my thyroid is damaged, i started to show kidney issues to and i had to stop it. some other mood stabilizers available are lamictal, valproic acid, carbepzapine. there are also antipsychotics like seroquel and zyprexa which also stabilize moods ans even more like latuda, rispirdal, and clonazepine, and haldol. there are many options to try.
Her personality is so cute I want to give her a hug
Me too aaa
On a non related note I love your profile pic
Dr Charles at 2:00 “With all due respect it’s all a medical issue”. I laughed out loud simply because I freaking love that he was willing to put that out there like that to Dr Choi! 😂🙌👌
As soon as Choi said "how much of that is self indulgence?".... bro. As a psychology student I'm not surprised about the lack of understanding of mental illness, especially when it comes to doctors. Kind of refreshing to see if portrayed in this show.
This was a great scene! Showed a very real issue that the psych field has to deal with daily.
Wow I cannot believe that Ethan doctor said that. You think she wants to self indulge in maniac episodes like that????
I believe this was when he was in denial about his PTSD, which, while not an excuse, sheds light onto why he did it, and how he has changed since
You need to watch the rest of the episode. It turns out Ethan suffers from PTSD and he is unable to cope with it, so he denies it’s existence and the existence of mental illness all together.
Cmn it's a show. He's told to say that. In real he's a nice person
rim
no shit sherlock, op meant the character
@@rubywhitfield2881 what’s episode is this?
Wasn't this doctor in the military? Shouldn't he have comrads that went through PTSD? Shouldn't he be a little more understanding?
He actually has PTSD himself and he's unable to deal with it, that's why he tries to deny the existence of mental illnesses altogether
@@rin-chan3017 that and he’s kind of an a**hole….
as someone with bipolar and kidney failure on dialysis right now, i feel this so much. My bipolar has gotten so much worse since starting dialysis but there is nothing we can do. Im glad some doctors actually understand, some ive seen just treat me like ive done it to myself.
Good luck
@Chronically Chelsea u last sentence tears me out ,I'm in bad realtionship I trun to be someone I don't recognize but I'm back again
.Wish u the very best ......
Good luck you got this
T
good luck, im not bi polar but i had kidney failure last year and got my transplant in october. You got this and stay strong❤️
Dr. Choy is the sacrificial character the writers picked to embody all the toxic and ignorant attitudes people hold. Thanks writers of Chicago med! For teaching your audience how NOT to be! 😂
Choi
You have clearly misunderstood... see the full episode...Dr.Choi also suffers from a mental illness PTSD... he had failed to cope with it so he fights so that atleast his patients might come out of it clean
@@ManojKumararch i also have PTSD and EUPD
Carling If you watched the rest of the episode, you'll know why Dr. Choi is acting the way he is. In the episode, its revealed that he silently suffers from PTSD. Its something that he can't control and it scares him. Most of the time he puts up the facade that he has all normal but deep inside he's scared and he's angry at himself that he cant control it which is why it freaks him out to see people who can't control it. He's essentially seeing himself when he sees them.
What about Dr Rhodes? Him too.
I thought he was better than this, telling someone to knuckle down is the worst thing you can do

You find out he suffers from horrible PTSD and can’t control it, so whenever he runs into someone else with a mental health issue they can’t control, he gets freaked out cause it’s like he is seeing himself and that fear turns into anger that he feels about himself but redirects it to the other person.

@@jashapp289 we cant because it's not on Netfilx
anna anne 123movies Netflix isn’t always the option
welp gotta admit, that moment where he said "why can't she just buck up" really got me pissed, i personally don't have bi-polar however having an anxiety disorder is difficult in the middle of panic attacks, especially when people tell me to "just control it". I can't imagine whats it like to have to deal with something like Bi-Polar Disorder...
4:09 I love how this dude is always spontaneously psychoanalyzing
He wasn't psychoanalysing. He was just analysing.
God that was hard to read lol
Oh shit. I thought this doctor would be way more understanding....
Sadly they can be some of the MOST judgmental and dismisive people which is really sad.
There was a reason for it

Also, Choi was in the military. He didn't encounter any of his peers with Bipolar Disorder because the military will not hire anyone with it.
Just had to remind myself he's an actor playing a role lol. Sadly a lot of doctors still have that mindset.
Dr. Choi has a real concern about lithium, but he really doesn't get bipolar at all. At its worst, saying that a manic episode is "self-indulgence" is like saying someone isn't tough enough because they cried after breaking both their legs. You really are in the grip of something almost demonic and certainly beyond your control.
Keeping someone on lithium until a reasonable substitute can be found is probably what I would do as well.
Dr. Choi sounds like the type of person to tell someone, "oh you're depressed? Have you considered not being sad? Sadness is just self indulgence. You can get over it."
GUYS, before you judge Dr. Choi, remember he's got PTSD from the army. (You gotta watch the full episode) Because he himself is unable to "cope" with it, he denies mental issues altogether. That's why he may seem ignorant. Another detail can be that he's part Korean, and the Korean culture isn't yet fully open towards mental health issues, a mentality which may have affected his upbringing.
Do you know which episode this is?
I like your suggestion of trying to understand Dr. Choi.
Dr Choi:amazing turn around! what did you replace the lithium with?
Dr Charles: Lithium :) (with a smiling face)
Im majoring in pharmacy and I get so hyped when I recognize and understand the medical terms and the drugs they mention hehe
For years my doctor wanted give me medication to treat my depression and anxiety. Everytime I went to her she would say it was because of my diet, or my sleeping habits. My sleeping habits and diet were a symptom of my depression. Sigh. Hopefully understanding, or at the very least being empathetic and respectful, to people with mental illness becomes a bigger part of medical practice.
In some cases making positive alterations to diet, sleep, and just general lifestyle changes can help significantly. I’m not saying it’s as simple as “eat better, work out!”, however it can do some good if it’s something that you can bring yourself to do.
Going on anti anxiety/anti depressants was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. You can’t argue that your symptoms can’t be cured by a change in diet/ sleep if you also decide to refuse medication. Therapy is good too, but don’t write off meds.
fixing diet and sleeping habits can greatly ease depression. medications can often make suicidal ideation worse. don't be so quick to fixate on medication, because all successful medication does is slightly ease the ability to fix your diets and sleeping habits.
@@indiehead457 I liked that she wasn't quick to give me medication. But when I came back for the third time with the same problem, I feel like that was the time to come up with a different strategy. Doctors can be so quick to dismiss people.
The actress who played her is incredible, practically two characters in one
Okay, this was my ultimate "DUUUUUUUDE, WHAAAAAAAT?!" Moment with Dr. Choi! How long has he been a doctor now? Did they segregate him from any and every patient with mental health problems, so they were literally like an alien species to him? He's had moments of being judge-y in the past, but this was on a whole new level!
Every Chicago med episode ever:
Nurse:”she’s seizing”
Doctor:”I need a ABC and DEF with 2milligrams of a GHIJ stat
Doctor : Needs to be intubated !
Nurse: Pressure's dropping !
Doctor : We need louder beeping !
Hysterical family member: Why aren't you doing something ?
Doctor: I need 30 units of o-neg & page my massuese !.
Gotta say, props to Charles for dealing with that so well. I would've lost my shit with Choi.
As someone with Bi Polar I can say categorically that Ethan has no clue what Bi Polar is. Self indulgence? Like seriously. I so wake up in the mornings and have a psychotic episode just for fun. If you have no mental health training or have seen what it does first hand then you have no right to judge anyone with a mental health condition.
Carolkav101 everyones mental ilness is diffrent
Speed Simer I am aware of that. But I feel as a Dr he is lacking empathy for anyone with a mental illness. He wouldn't have said that about someone with cancer or Parkinson's etc.
You dont know that
the dr had no right to say what he did, i dont have bipolar but if someone stod there and said that i caused my ptsd my audio hallucinations my anxiety my depression any of them i would lose it. so unprofessional and such a lack of empathy people without mental illness really do not know the struggle of daily life.
It’s a show get over it
Dr. Choi is usually my favourite, but he's so out of line here he's on another planet.
Lesson one: never argue with dr Charles
Amazing how Daniel Charles can make a simple "Huh," sound so *devastatingly* judgemental.
Patient: I have bipolar and have been taking medication to treat it, but it's destroying my kidney.
Choi: okay. Have you tried, "getting over bipolar?"
This is terrifying to watch, and this is coming from a person who had a paranoia patch and thought candles were going to kill me
I had the exact same issue at work. Lady was mentally unstable, her sodium levels were through the roof. We couldn’t take her off lithium or she’d act out but we couldn’t take her bloods either because she just refused. In the end there was nothing we could do. She died.
Bipolar here and this is a medical condition, it has to be taken seriously, we are NOT crazy and it is possible to live a normal long life as long as we stick to treatment :)
bruh you are literally crazy
@@KatzRool woth medication, they aren't. And even without medication, between the episodes of manic, they aren't (depression usually doesn't come with symptoms usually described as "craziness"). So most of the time they aren't. Normal people lose control in anger or intense emotions sometimes too but we don't run around calling them crazy, but understand and move on (unless they hurt spmeone), maybe try to help or support them so it won't happen again to that degree. Bipolar people need this understanding and suppirt too.
Cool but I have Bipolar 1.
@@KatzRool
I have Bipolar I and my medication significantly improved my episodes. I was hospitalized multiple times for a total of over two and half years in university, so it was serious. Granted I am a lithium responder and that is one of the biggest indicators that someone can manage their symptoms and lead a, relatively, normal life
I'm a simple man. I see Dr. Choi, I click.
I have anxiety and depression people tell me that I should get over it it makes it worse
Em_co X hope you’re doing okay ❤️
"just get over it" that's one of the worst things to say to someone who has anxiety and depression.
Em_co X same
#Em_coX. So do I, I get it all the time.
Same
My partner is bi polar and this hits so close to home… just watching him going thru episodes and how much he goes thru with them where u just wish u can do something to calm him down and make them stop but u just have to sit there and wait for them to pass 😢
I’m on Prozac the stuff is the only thing keeping me alive
Even I can see Choi is projecting and that it’s more about himself then the patient
Dr. Charles is by far my favourite.
"Is Mrs.Goodwin indulging when she takes her insulin? Am I indulging when I use my glasses?" I wish Dr. Charles had asked. Ethan is AMAZING 👏🏻 But clearly has some preconceived ideas of mental health patients as "faking" or otherwise being able to manipulate their symptoms for benefit.
The acting is so good in this episode
Ugh, this patient is extremely lucky that Dr. Charles was there. I've met psychiatrists who harm patients by playing with their meds, and ignoring the impact that has on their patients - let alone the doctors in other fields.
my mom's best friend has type 2 bipolar disorder. her usual treatment's side effects started shutting down her gallbladder and her liver so she tried to go a couple of weeks without it, as to rest her body. and during those weeks, the bipolar disorder kicked in. at some point, she stopped talking to us, except when to threaten to hurt my mom. she stopped speaking to all mutual friends. she's been cut off from electricity and heat for not paying pills. she's living off energy drinks and cigarettes, over 3 packs per day.
she wasn't just my mom's best friend, but a great friend to me too. like that fun aunt who you can talk more with than a parent. the doctors say that if she doesn't receive treatment within the next couple months, she may never come out of her current psychotic state...
sorry, i felt the need to say all this cause i got all emotional seeing this case.
It's sad that we still meet people who believe that it's not a real condition.
Having dealt with depression most of my life I have run into to many ignorant individuals who still believe it can it's a matter of mind over matter.
i’m actually surprised this was a good portrayal of a manic episode. lots of people assume that an episode of mania is simply just feeling good, but hallucinations and schizotypical behaviour also commonly presents itself. my mother has severe bipolar, but is in complete denial- so she doesn’t take meds (she is all about ‘perfection’ doesn’t use an inhaler for her asthma, denies her clinical depression). when i used to live with her it was very terrifying to be woken up about an ‘entity’ in the house that she needed to destroy. and people don’t usually understand how severe some people’s bipolar can be, and assume that i just lived with a person, who regularly switched between feeling empty or sad to amazing. (which, granted, was actually also the case- but that certainly was not the thing that made it terrifying).
«You have much experience with bipolare disease» one of the most important comments in the intire series
genuinely thought dr charles was about to say "you er got a spare kidney" at 2:39 XD
As a 23-year-old with bipolar…..yeah there's a reason people would rather lose their kidneys and stay stable then the alternative.
*you're pulling out the catheter to keep the numbers inside?* is the best like ever oml
My mother is bipolar. On meds, great and pleasant person. Off the med, she is unstable and suicidial
I’m in medical school and we’ve all been taught what bipolar disorder is and can’t just be “coped” with. So it’s kind of unrealistic how they showed him to not know that you can’t just cope with bipolar or ptsd through determination alone
I don't think I've ever hated someone so much in such a short period of time, I'm amazed. The writers are genius
1:10
Dr Charles "So you're pulling out your catheter to keep the numbers in?!"
Me: that's a lot of blood if that was just a catheter 😳
Given it was a central line it wasn’t enough blood…they lead directly into a large vein near your heart and if pulled out the way she pulled hers out can cause major bleeding….
Someone in my life is bipolar, had a lot of doctors tell her to pick up and get on with it but, it really doesn't work like that, and that's just coming from me as a 3rd person perspective. All I can do is try an empathize with their condition and understand that it isn't self indulgence, they didn't ask to be bipolar and take medication to treat it. When Charles did that stare down to Choi, he was totally saying "If you don't get it, then there's the door. Don't tell patients how to treat themselves, let THEM make the decision".
That being said, I can get Choi to an extent because, well we know that he has his share of battle fatigue/PTSD, we know that he's damaged and HIS way of dealing with things is to be alert and push through. I guess you could look at this sequence as someone with one condition, and then someone else with another. He has his way of dealing with his but she can't do that for hers.
The numbers are getting out
WHAT THE NUMBERS MEEN?!
As someone who takes meds for depression, DR CHOI I EXPECT BETTER FROM YOU.
Dr. Choi is probably angry because he had a relative with Bipolar disorder and he couldn't handle it. He needs to trust Dr. Charles.
As someone is this literal position, that ep hit home
ah I wish I could have just buck up and not self indulge my depression, how many times I wish and beg to just stop feeling and be like a robot and just function normally. I tried meditating, self healing, etc. They help, but at one point it will still be too much and I will still need to get some meds in to help me cope.
*cope*
*cope*
*cope*
I Will never forget this, because this is the kind of thing people tell me. If stop taking my meds mania would kill me in 2 months but sure COPE
This isn't a "manic" episode this is a psychotic break/psychosis.. Mania is very different
Psychosis can be present in Mania (and depression) though not usually that quickly.
Am I the only one who wanted to punch Dr. Choi in the face when he said the patient had to learn to cope with her illness? And then when he said "self indulgence"?
“The numbers!”
Call of duty black ops players: Aw shit here we go again.
Dr Charles:So your pulling your tubes out to keep your numbers?!🤔
Me: BURST INTO LAHGHTER😂
How can there still be Doctors who don't recognize Bipolar??????😭😭😭
My mother has been diagnosed with Bipolar, yes it is hard at times but I still love her. She does have maniac episodes but thats how it is,
This is why I've learnt to just start kicking people in the shins when they tell me to just "get over" my mental disorders. So I can tell them to just get over the pain
when she pulled the line out of her it made me shiver
" You pulled out ( whatever its called) to keep the numbers inside"
Is it bad that i laughed so hard 😆😆😆😆😆
I have bipolar disorder and the way the Ethan said for her to knuckle down and control it its not that easy im glad he didn't say that to the patient because she probably would have punched him in the face
Self indulge in ripping tubes out of herself and getting blood everywhere, being beside herself and unable to control her terror? Okay.
I have Bipolar, if any doctor told me I was self indulgent for being ill, I'd be unsure whether to laugh at them or take then seriously.
I used to think my neighbor had a twin, or that she was bipolar.
She would yank all of the flowers from our garden and say it was her twin Tiffany.
She's an only child.
As someone with a bipolar mother, I can assure you, simply coping ain't an option.
Wow! I bet he wouldn’t say that to a diabetic patient taking insulin.
"so your pulling out your cathidor to keep the numbers inside" I swear to God I laughed for no reason for 30 minutes after this and i swear to god Dr Charles is The Best
Dr Charles is so respectful
Girl sounded like mason from call of duty black ops when she started screaming about the numbers 😂
I’m going to hell for that joke aren’t I
Dr Charles is a freakin' hero
Dr Charles is the second coming of Jesus.
I love when people who know nothing about mental health try and give there two cents
What that doctor said was so ridiculous that it made me laugh.
Sadly, this stigma still exist in the medical field. Usually the type of doctors that second question mental illness are the full of themselves, know it all in the field. Imagine reading and studying medical books and just straight up disagreeing with some of the facts presented in the books.
Uh, if he thinks bipolar disorder is just something you can control then maybe someone should look into his medical degree.
Telling someone who is bipolar to “just get over it “ is like telling a paraplegic to “just get up and walk”,it’s impossible ,both physically and mentally!!
Wow, Dr Choi so doesn’t get it.
I don’t have bipolar, I have CPTSD which has presented with psychotic elements in the past. For many people with severe mental illnesses, they CANNOT be without their medication. You cannot simply ‘buck up’ and cope. If it worked that way, we would.
Sad that in the USA Lithium seems to be the only (affordable) treatment for Bipolar patients. Here in Europe we have more than just one medication for mental ilnesses.
Dr. Choi is representing people who think mental issue is a joke and can be treated with "get over with it."
I prefer live not that long but be happy
1:09 "Your pulling out your catheter to keep the numbers in?"
You can't cope with it if you're not taking medication❤
"dependance on this drug" okay so a person loses a leg and we give them a prosthetic and even if it causes rashes where it can rub when walking that's okay and not "dependance" or "a problem" and they don't have to just deal with only having one leg and no replacement. A person's brain can't make the right chemicals or give them the right signals, so they go on medication to fix that and it's "dependance" and it's stigmatized and if it causes other issues it's a massive problem even if the mental disorder is worse than those physical problems and we just have to "deal with it" and "get over it". How does that make any goddamn sense?! No one tells me to give up my walking stick for my leg issues, but I've been told I shouldn't "rely" on mood stabilizers because I should just overcome my mental disorder. What the hell.
My mother was misdiagnosed with bi polar by a nutter of a psychiatrist because it was easier to put her on drugs to keep her quiet than deal with the fact that she had been married to a psychopath for 23 years. She didn't have bi polar she had CPTSD. They put her on Lithium for years which I was completely unaware of and it eventually caused renal failure and killed her.
A Toronto man presented at an ER department in 2018 complaining of severe leg pain. He could not walk. Initial tests revealed no apparent cause for the pain. The staff discovered the man had bipolar disorder and discharged him. They told him there was nothing wrong with him and it was all in his head. The man was distraught. He could not stand up, he could not walk. They forced him to leave the hospital, and a nurse guided him to the exit as he crawled, crying in pain. The nurse humiliated him, saying he was faking and that he was a big boy and could stand up on his own two feet. He couldn't. The pain continued, he subsequently was sent to another hospital. They diagnosed Guillain-Barre syndrome, which is a "rare disorder in which your body's immune system attacks your nerves. Weakness and tingling in your extremities are usually the first symptoms. These sensations can quickly spread, eventually paralyzing your whole body." (Mayo Clinic). And yes, he has taken legal action against the first hospital.
Do people understand that the whole point of having a character like Dr Choi was to enlighten ignorant people about mental illnesses and their severity instead of dismissing it with an upturned nose and telling them
'to buck up' ? That his entire character arc here is to educate people and not meant as a fucking insult? It's obvious that they're painting his attitude towards mental illness in a bad light so what's the problem?
i love chicago med, it makes me wanna be a doctor when i grow up. keep up with the good work keep doing them.
I usually love dr.choi as character but in this episode I just can’t deal with him, my grandad had bipolar, he ended up killing himself, when they did his autopsy , they saw (tested) and his bipolar (the chemical) was crazy, they believe he didn’t take is medication and that’s why,I don’t know the fill story but my mum told me she would tell me when I’m older
Dr Choi thinks everyone and everything is the army
