Was wondering if anyone saw the episode of Chicago Med yesterday that had a storyline about a young boy with an ileostomy. This is so rare even in movies so I definitely took notice and they tried to take a good stab at it. For someone who knows very little about ostomies and surgical procedures, it was okay I guess. But medical storylines on these shows are always far from reality anyway.
