Anyone else watch Chicago Med last night?? One of the writers had a bone to pick...made the dubs look like a cult. (not hard to do, I know) Very realistic, and they got all the lingo right. If you want to read a quick description of the JW part of the show, read below. (spoilers)
spoiler synopsis if you're interested:
Just as Marcel is barking orders and requesting various tests; nurse Doris (Lorena Diaz) finds a “No Blood” card in his wallet, confirming he is a Jehovah’s Witness. Will says the card is at least 10 years old and was signed by his parents when he was a minor, so they need to wait to hear from them.
Will is on the phone, learning that David hasn’t been to the Kingdom Hall in months and no one has tried to contact him. Doris calls him as David’s stats drop. He informs his parents that David will die if he is not operated on within the next few minutes. He tells them he doesn’t believe they know what their son’s wishes truly are and knows David hasn’t done any pioneering in months and when he crashed he was drunk and high. They don’t want to believe him until he confronts them with David’s tattoo. Will says he no longer shares their beliefs and shouldn’t have to die from it. His father walks out of the room, disappointed as his mother leans in and kisses his forehead, only to follow in her husband’s footsteps, leaving the hospital. Dr. Marcel comes over as Will orders him to do the transfusion and surgery as they no longer need his parent’s consent; they rush off to the OR.
David wakes up, learning he can live without his spleen. He asks for his parents as Will informs him that his parents were there but they left. He is confused, causing Will to tell him that they found out he was no longer a Jehovah’s Witness, they left. He is confused as Will explains that they gave him blood during the surgery, causing David to panic. Dr. Marcel encourages him to stay calm, as David says the drinking and drugs were a mistake as was the tattoo; he was going to have it removed and repent. He shouts, “What have you done to me?” as Will looks on solemnly.
