Caitlin Lenox Shows Her Soft Side When Dealing With An Autistic Child In Chicago Med Season 10, Episode 5
She Is The Only Staff Member Who Knows What To Do During The Child’s Meltdown
One of the major stories inChicago Medseason 10, episode 5 involved a pregnant woman who had an autistic son. Lenox hadn’t wanted Hannah to admit this woman to the pre-natal clinic because it was Halloween and the ED was short-staffed, so nobody expected Lenox to have a positive reaction when the woman’s son wandered off during a consultation and had a meltdown in the middle of the hospital. However, when she happened to pass the area and saw Maggie struggling to get the boy to calm down and go with her,Lenox offered to step in.

Lenox seemed to intuitively understand what was going on. She laid down next to the screaming child and spoke softly to him about how scary it must be for him to be in this huge, noisy hospital, and told him he could stay on the floor as long as he wanted. Her approach not only worked but impressed the boy’s mother so much that she asked the other doctors to thank Lenox for her. However, Lenox seemed embarrassed by the praise and made a quick exit when Hannah relayed this message.
