Some fans of the show are less than amused by Chicago Med using the nickname "Baghdad" for a trauma area used to treat gunshot victims. One annoyed viewer even took to Reddit to air out their frustrations.
“I’m a veteran, but I’m not even offended for the reasons you may think. It just seems to be dehumanizing to the real people who live there,” the Redditor wrote. “It’s not all enemy combatants, there are decent people in Baghdad, Iraq and to nickname your trauma room after a real-life war zone, regardless of how we as a nation view the inhabitants, is really tasteless.”
They weren't the only one who took offense. Another viewer chimed in with, "I agree. Every time I hear it It actually makes me angry. It's not cool in any way."
