This week’s “Chicago Med” finds Dr. Daniel Charles and Dr. Dean Archer facing a unique medical and philosophical puzzle. In “The Book of Archer,” airing this Wednesday, they treat a recent heart transplant recipient who harbors a strange conviction about his new organ.
The patient isn’t just adjusting to life post-surgery, He believes he’s inherited the donor’s personality and memories along with the heart itself. This adds a new dimension to patient care, prompting questions that go far beyond the usual post-op concerns. Is it a psychological reaction to the trauma of surgery or something more mysterious?
Elsewhere in Gaffney Medical Center, Dr. Hannah Asher makes a startling discovery while examining a pregnant woman, finding a mass on the woman’s ovary.
“Chicago Med” airs Wednesday, April 2nd at 8:00 PM EST on NBC.
