Dr. Morton's POV

Jane Royce

I am just plain old sick of it. I've worked hard to get to my position. Long hours of studying, struggling for money, being the lowest on the totem pole at work. I just don't need Gage questioning my judgement on the radio. Sure, he's on the scene and he sees more than I do, but I rely on him to get his visual to me, so that I CAN see what he sees, so that I CAN know the whole picture. Does he think I am a moron? Does he think I am incapable?

Lets look back at him, I mean, could there be a bigger winp than Gage? A little burn on his leg and he's acting like he needs to be admitted to hospital. His own foolishness lands him in hospital more times than anyone else in the department. We treat him, release him, only to have him not follow instructions and return more ill than before, or just moan about the care he does receive.

OK, he did get hit by the car and did sustain serious injury, but it didn't take long before he was chasing nurses and his physiotherapist! Does it ever end with him?

So when he does come in, I am rough on him. He should know better. I hold him to a higher standard he because he is....well, he IS good. I hate to admit it but he really is good at his job. I just don't have to accept the rest of the package he delivers.
