“Chicago Med” is shifting the focus to Dr. Will Halstead (Nick Gehlfuss). According to the official synopsis on NBC, a car accident occurs during the Chicago marathon and a runner gets severely injured.

Noah is a fourth-year medical student.

The promo of Season 2, episode 5 reveals that Halstead will have only 19 minutes to do something otherwise the runner would be paralyzed or dead. However, Dr. Connor Rhodes (Colin Donnel) questions Halstead’s quick procedure when the patient is taken to Chicago Med with the help of an ambulance.
