You have to understand, my husband died last year, Heather was all I had.
There is nothing about this that I understand.
“And Here's to you, Mrs. Azrael” · Season 3, Episode 9
In this episode: Sheldon Hawkes (5), Mac Taylor (4), Danny Messer (3), Adam Ross (3), Don Flack (1), Sid Hammerback (1)
It took three high-risk surgeries practicing my profession to realize that I didn't want to be the one who would stand over somone when they took their last breath. So, I took a job at the ME's office. Because I thought that if God did have a last say in death, I could at least do something about it if they were taken too soon. At least that's what I keep telling myself.
Hey, you're still a doctor, Sheldon.
(about his father) He spent the last eight months in bed on a feeding tube. Eventually, the medicine didn't do anything for the pain, so one day, he asked me...he begged me to end it for him. I couldn't do it.
You made the right choice.
[Mac looks unsure]
Didn't appreciate that, Matt. See, this here is a new pair of pants. And I don't get uniform allowance. So I suggest you make it up to me by makin' the rest of this very easy (Flack pats down Matt). Check out what Mr. Goodwrench had in his backpocket. Set of lockpick tools.
MMatt
What can I say? I'm always losin' my apartment keys.
[Flack shoves his shoulder lightly]
Hey, what did I tell you 'bout makin' things easy?
There you are. I've been trying to reach you guys.
My phone drowned.
(Adam takes the phone and sniffs it)
Ahhh. Bean-O-Rama.
Mac, been meaning to ask. I'd like you to consider coming to our house for Thanksgiving this year. My daughter's coming in, cousins from Philly. We do a really nice job. I use a Collins scalpel to carve the bird, it gets the meat paper-thin.
I appreciate the offer, Sid.
Now you can't spend the holidays alone again. I'll drag you if I have to.
You're gonna have to add some meat to that skinny frame of yours if you're gonna be making threats, and I was about to say I do have plans this year, thank you.
[pause] Oh. I'm intrigued.
What are you working on?
Oh, just some trace that Sid found in the crease of our vic's mouth. Mac asked me to I.D. it.
Mind if I take a look?
Oh, please, knock yourself out.
[Looks at the slide] Are you kidding me?
It's krill. Pelagic, shrimp-like crustacean of the family Euphuasiid.
How did it get in our vic's mouth?
I'm working on that. See, krill is one of the main ingredients used in salt water fish food.
There's an aquarium in the visitor's lounge at the hospital. Nice.
[He punches Adam in the chest]
[Rubbing his chest] Ow.
You never went home last night, huh?
Looks like you didn't, either.
Hey, I've got two miles of bandages to go through. What's your excuse?
It took three high-risk surgeries exercising my profession to learn sometimes it's just your time, and there's nothing medicine can do about it. [Flashback]
So you just walked away?
Yeah, learned the hard way that I didn't want to be the guy standing over somebody when they took their last breath. So, took a job at the ME's office, figured if God had the final say when someone died, I could at do something about it if they were taken too soon. At least that's what I keep telling myself.
Hey, you're still a doctor, Sheldon.
