What to Expect from Chicago Med Season 11 Episode 17: Altered States
Chicago Med Season 11 Episode 17, “Altered States,” continues to place Charles at the center of the story when he is found having a stroke. After the terrible argument he had with his daughter moments before the stroke, we wonder how Anna will handle the news.
The same goes for Goodwin. The two of them argued as we had never seen before, with Charles leaving a speechless Goodwin behind. Could it be that she is the one who finds him?

Meanwhile, the tension around Asher rises as she finds herself at odds with the OB-GYN who is supposed to take her place during her maternity leave. Could it be that Hannah doesn’t trust her replacement? Or is there more for us to explore?
Here’s everything you need to know about this episode, including the air date, cast, promo, and how to watch.
