NURSE LYDIA

 

Nurse Lydia is the no nonsense head of the emergency department nurse who keeps everyone, especially Fitz, in line.  She’s adept at juggling chaos and managing the myriad of personalities at the hospital.  When she sees that Fitz’s drinking is getting out of control, she isn’t afraid to do what’s best for the patients.
