Israeli actress Shani Attias has secured a role in the upcoming season of the popular American medical drama "Chicago Med." The new season is set to premiere this week.
Attias will portray a patient named Violet, who is admitted to the hospital in critical condition, unconscious and sedated. The medical team suspects meningitis as they work to diagnose her.
The casting holds personal significance for Attias, as she herself survived a severe bout of meningitis during her military service in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). This illness led to her early discharge from the army. Now, years later, she will revisit this experience on screen, embodying a character facing the same life-threatening condition within the fictional narrative of the series.
