Milena Jovanovic

**Milena Jovanovic** was the undercover name of Chicago Police Department officer **Jo** (last name unknown). She was portrayed by Riley Voelkel.

## Season 7

*This section is incomplete. You can help Chicago Med Wiki by expanding it.*
Milena is treated by Dylan Scott after being hit by a car. He initially suspects her to be a drug dealer, but later discovers she is an undercover police officer who is investigating the local Serbian mafia led by Nicola Corluka. She and Dylan developed a brief romantic relationship.

When the case comes to a head in And Now We Come to the End and Jo, Dylan and Goran Kostovic are trapped in Will Halstead's burning apartment building, Dylan accidentally shoots Jo while taking down Goran. She initially appears to escape, but Dylan later finds her bleeding in the alley and she passes away in the Emergency Department in spite of Dylan's best efforts to revive her.
Mitch Ripley

**Dr. Mitchell "Mitch" Ripley** is an attending physician in the Emergency Department at Gaffney Chicago Medical Center. He is portrayed by Luke Mitchell.

## Background

Mitch was at one point a troubled youth who displayed excessive aggression brought on by an impulse control disorder, going so far as to put another child into hospital. At the time, he was treated by Daniel Charles in an inpatient setting at Cook County Juvenile, where he was heavily medicated and often restrained. This has given him an aversion to restraining and over-medicating psychiatric patients.

At the start of Season 9, Mitch has turned his life around and has become an attending physician in the Emergency Department at *Gaffney* after receiving his degree from Columbia University with a full scholarship.

When he discovers his childhood doctor is also working at the hospital, he does not hesitate to make it clear to Daniel that he still resents him for the harsh treatment he received, and for the sudden way Daniel left because his rotation was over.

## Season 9

### Row Row Row Your Boat on a Rocky Sea

Mitch helps treat the victims of a multi-car pileup, including a man named Harris Shorr whom Mitch notices is suffering from metabolic syndrome induced by the large quantity of mood stabilizing and anti-psychotic drugs he is on for his bipolar disorder. He decided to take the patient off one of his drugs to see if his condition improves, but the patient suffers a psychotic episode, which draws the attention of Daniel Charles who berates Mitch for his reckless decision to suddenly discontinue an important medication.

When Daniel realizes Mitch is a former patient of his, the two come to a confrontation in which Mitch warns Daniel not to treat him like the boy he was 20 years ago, and to not question his medical decisions.

### This Town ain't Big Enough for the Both of Us

Mitch demonstrates the use of a twitch monitor to a group of medical students. When he suspects a patient named Allison Levine is not actually suffering from a relapse of cancer but from a fungal infection, he uses the twitch monitor to illegally and unethically obtain her consent to further treat her, despite her wish to not be intubated or resuscitated, and against her sister Neva's wishes. When Daniel realizes what Mitch has done, he gives him a thinly veiled warning that obtaining a patient's consent this way could cost him his medical license, indicating that he is onto him.

## Notes and Trivia

* As can be seen on his jacket and on the front of the folder Dr. Daniel Charles opens in Row Row Row Your Boat on a Rocky Sea, his full name is "Mitchell Ripley".

Vasik Labs

**Vasik Labs** is a medical device manufacturing company.

## Vas-COM

The **Vas-COM** is a brand of central venous catheter that is made by Vasik Labs. It was in use in Gaffney Chicago Medical Center until Sharon Goodwin and Will Halstead discovered evidence of Vasik Labs paying Doctor Matt Cooper to advocate for the use of a Vas-COM device, often even when a patient did not need it or there was a cheaper alternative.

   Peter Kalmick and the board told Sharon Goodwin not to do anything about it but she called the FBI, which subsequently resulted in the arrest of Matt Cooper and Jessa Rinaldi. The case eventually went to trial, and right before it was about to start, Jessa was arrested for attempted murder of Will by setting his building on fire.
