Chicago Med (TV Series) Disorder (2016) User Reviews

Another great show!

This was another great episode, with good character development for several characters, and great acting from all the cast, particularly Jayne Atkinson as Dr Clay. The real hero of the story was, however, Boomer the dog, who I guess hasn't been to RADA. In the interest of public safety I have to take issue with the reviewer whose review amounts to a defence of all dogs. Sure, most dogs are predictable. My brother has had dogs for as long as I can remember, and I would trust them with my life. My next door neighbour on one side also has dogs, as does my neighbour further up the road, with whom I have friendly relations, and I have nothing to fear from them. To me, these dogs are predictably friendly. Some dogs are predictably unfriendly. I can think of at least two - one a Chihuahua who responded aggressively to anyone who came into her owner's house in Gwent, and the other an under-exercised Doberman called Zen, who was just nasty. Zen bit me as I was leaving his neighbour's property where I was on cat-sitting duty. I reported it to the local Sergeant, who had a word with his owner. Unfortunately for Zen, the street had noted his predictability, and the street contained several children. A few weeks later one of the neighbours (probably one with children) slipped Warfarin into Zen's food dish, and the threat was removed from the street. But despite the claim of Shiryu05, not all dogs are predictable. My next-door neighbours on the other side have a couple of dogs, one of which is OK, but for the other I keep my walking stick ready whenever I see him. The other unpredictable dog I know was owned by the boyfriend of a family member. He was named "Kobe" and was some Japanese fighting breed. We warned them that he was not safe to have around, but they ignored the warnings until Kobe mauled the boyfriend. After that they broke up. Surprise!

Dogs are HIGHLY predictable!

This is an interesting series however they get so many common issues wrong. The dog bite segment was completely out of line and highly sensationalised. Dogs are sentient, highly predictable creatures, creatures of habit that rely on routine and more. What makes Dr Manning's comments even more bizarre is that this wasn't a random dog but the woman's companion. In a real-life setting, the dog would likely have had an injury or been ill to bite her "out of the blue". It's stuff like this that give dogs a bad stereotype.
