Chicago Med Season 8 Episode 16, “What You See Isn’t Always What You Get,” will bring a massive shot of adrenaline to the One Chicago universe. After another brief hiatus, the series is set to return with high stakes. 

The team has faced several crises lately. An impending rescue of a patient may be among the most serious drama the team will face this season. Those MRI machines are no joke.

Elsewhere, Halstead and Cuevas will be teaming up to face a challenging patient case. These two haven’t spent much time working together, so it will be interesting to see how they interact. 

Will the Chicago Med team be able to pull off this daring rescue? Will Halstead and Cuevas’ patient receive a diagnosis in time?
