Although she loves Danny, sometimes his work is a source of tension between them, especially when she feels that he is putting more importance on the job than family. Although there are times she wishes he had stayed in construction, she knows he loves the job too much to try to make him quit. Once she returned to work, her job provided an extra source of information for the family, as well as a reliable medical contact. While she has helped with cases, she also stands by her role in the medical profession and will restrict access to a patient, if necessary. Early on, her presence saved Henry's life when he had a heart attack while preparing Thanksgiving dinner.

One night, while working at the mobile clinic outside the Jefferson Houses, she got mugged at knife point. This prompted her to get a gun license, even though she dislikes guns[6].
