Sheldon Hawkes, Danny Messer and others in “And Here's to you, Mrs. Azrael”

Sheldon Hawkes

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]

Danny Messer

So you just walked away?

Hawkes

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.

Danny

Hey, you're still a doctor, Sheldon.
