* BaitAndSwitchTyrant: Kate Larsen fills in for Terri in early season 4. While it's made immediately clear that she's not going to be as friendly with the staff as Terri is (demoting Connor from his NumberTwo position because she thinks she doesn't need one), it's also quickly made clear that she's willing to support them when the situation calls for it (eg, Bronwyn, somewhat insubordinately, starts an argument with a psychiatrist over his callous attitude to the patient he was consulting on) and will make tough but fair decisions when it doesn't (when Jared starts dangerously overworking himself to deal with his financial problems). She's also surprisingly more lenient regarding Jodi's wardrobe than Terri ever was. Unfortunately, the pressure of the job causes her to slip into alcoholism and by the time she leaves everyone besides Von is pretty happy about it (and not just because of Terri coming back).

In this case, the patient is in no condition to decide either way, but her fiance insists that she was no longer practicing and wants to claim power of attorney over her father. Before the hospital can come to a decision, Frank decides to give her the transfusions, but, whether because it's too late or she was too far gone from the start, the patient dies anyway.
