Heworked as the clinic receptionist, whichI doubt inspired anyone to spend fourhard years getting a nursing degree.Dell eventually became a nurse-midwife and occasionally displayedsome aptitude. When the show killedhim off in 2010, the writers upped theemotion by revealing he’d just beenadmitted to medical school, thusreinforcing the wannabe-physicianstereotype.”
