She is still in the show, investigating Jack Morrison's lack of education. It seems to me that she is only a "guest" on the show now. I wonder if this whole episode of Jack's lack of training is another effort to eliminate another character from St. Elsewhere. I've been watching the show for two years and I am really having a hard time believing that the writer's of S.E. would work so hard creating a character of such integrity only to expose him as a quack three years down the road. I would like to get other people's thoughts on this. Also, has anyone noticed how much sicker Dr. Auschlander is each episode? I wonder if he going to be another casualty of NBC's ratings game. If anyone has any information on more cast changes, please let me know so I can be prepared. This show is changing so much that one night I'm going to turn it on and not even recognize it.
