Ep 7. Trial & Error

After a brief hiatus, The Resident returns with a new episode titled "Trial & Error." The medical drama series has been incredibly gripping in its second season, delivering some of the most intense episodes of the series thus far. This episode promises to be no different.

The episode follows the story of one of the most exciting characters of the show - Conrad Hawkins, the brilliant and charismatic chief resident of Chastain Park Memorial Hospital. In this episode, Conrad takes on a heart-wrenching case of a patient who has been misdiagnosed despite having severe symptoms.

The patient, a businessman named Tom Ligon, comes to Chastain Park Hospital with what he thinks is a simple case of influenza. However, the team, led by Conrad, soon discovers that Tom is suffering from a severe case of Parkinson's disease combined with a rare neurological condition that has been misdiagnosed for years.

Conrad and his team of doctors at Chastain decide to treat Tom's condition with a pioneering new surgery, which would require Tom's consent as it is a high-risk procedure.

However, when Tom's son, Mason, who is also a doctor, arrives at the hospital, he vehemently disagrees with the surgery. Mason is convinced that his father's condition can be treated with medication, and he doesn't want to risk his father's life with a risky surgery.

The situation becomes even more complicated when Mason decides to take the case to the hospital's Ethics Committee, where they will decide whether or not Tom should receive the new treatment. The Ethics Committee is a group of doctors at Chastain Park Memorial Hospital who are charged with making tough decisions about medical treatment.

Throughout the episode, Conrad and the other doctors must convince the Committee that the new surgery is the best course of action for Tom. But when they realize that Mason is more interested in protecting his father's legacy than his life, things take a turn for the worse.

Meanwhile, Mina receives an urgent call to provide medical assistance to a prisoner at the county jail. Mina soon discovers that the man has a serious medical condition that requires immediate attention. However, the prison authorities are unwilling to listen to her and deny her access to the medical equipment she needs to save the man's life.

Mina must navigate the challenging and stressful prison environment to ensure that the prisoner receives the medical attention he needs before it's too late.

"Trial & Error" is a tense and emotionally charged episode that showcases the incredible talent of the show's cast. With its complex storylines, well-developed characters, and superb acting, The Resident continues to be a compelling and thought-provoking medical drama. This episode is a perfect example of why it has become one of the most popular shows on television right now.
