It appears to occur to each TV hospital ultimately.
Some wealthy one who has no thought how medication is meant to work buys a controlling curiosity within the hospital, resulting in chaos and poor affected person outcomes.
With Jack Dayton set to take over Gaffney Medical Middle, will Chicago Med Season 8 Episode 10 be any totally different than the tales on The Good Physician and New Amsterdam involving a company takeover?
Whereas the opposite takeovers got here kind of out of nowhere, Chicago Med has fastidiously laid the groundwork for no matter Jack Dayton goes to do.
Dayton has finished favors for the hospital to point out his appreciation for Marcel saving his life and that of one in every of his workers. He financed the OR 2.0. And now he is purchased a controlling curiosity within the hospital.
Whereas Dayton is a tech guru, not a physician, he would not appear to have damaging intentions or be centered on chopping prices. Up to now, he genuinely desires to assist sufferers — however he desires the hospital to make use of his know-how to do it.
If there’s going to be a battle between Dayton and the medical doctors, it will be over whether or not or to not use his tech.
This began earlier than Dayton bought a controlling curiosity within the hospital; Marcel was reluctant to make use of the OR 2.0 with out additional coaching, however Dayton insisted and gave him a physician accustomed to the AI platform to help.
Dayton and Marcel’s friendship is prone to fray over time; Marcel is not solely comfy with the OR 2.0 know-how and did not like that the AI needed to be overridden when it made a very cautious suggestion about his suture method.
In response to spoilers, Marcel will once more debate whether or not to make use of the OR 2.0 tech with one other affected person on Chicago Med Season 8 Episode 10. It will possible put him squarely in battle with Dayton and his imaginative and prescient for the hospital.
Sharon will proceed to administrate; that hasn’t modified. Docs have all the time introduced their debates over remedy protocols to her, however now Dayton’s opinions of technological options shall be a part of the equation.
This might be a extra compelling story than the standard company baddie vs. caring physician trope that usually accompanies hospital takeover tales.
In the meantime, Asher and Will each may have robust tales in the course of the midseason premiere. Will has to assist a swimmer with a coronary heart situation whereas Asher and Lieu seek for a misplaced affected person within the woods.
Chicago Med likes to take the medical doctors out of the hospital to carry out emergency medication elsewhere; that is how Marcel met Dayton within the first place.
Hopefully, Asher and Lieu will discover their lacking affected person and transport her to the hospital for additional remedy, versus treating her utilizing twigs and duct tape within the woods.
The affected person is pregnant and will additionally go into labor throughout this misadventure, which might complicate issues. And we do not know but why she ended up within the woods. Did she get misplaced throughout a hike? Was she working away? Does she have a psychological well being subject? Something is feasible right here.
This story will even give viewers — and Asher — the chance to get to know Lieu. He is the latest workers member, so this can be a welcome growth. However might the showrunners even be chem testing him with Asher?
Up to now, Will and Asher appear to be endgame, however that does not imply we’ll get there any time quickly.
Hopefully, if there finally ends up being a triangle, it will be much less obnoxious than Will and Marcel’s rivalry over Natalie (and never contain any boyfriends who’re dwelling double lives.).
Since Will’s story includes a swimmer with a coronary heart situation, she possible will not have the ability to swim anymore except Will finds an unorthodox answer. With Marcell reluctant to make use of the OR 2.0, might Will once more flip to him?
Relying on the affected person’s situation, conventional surgical procedure is probably not an choice; conversely, she might require a coronary heart transplant and ordinarily not be eligible for some cause that Dayton thinks OR 2.0 can overcome.
