The actor spoke toDeciderabout seeing Abbots colleague take one particular patient to heart.

Hatosy noted that as a former military medic, Abbot can empathize with Robbys state of mind.

I think, first of all, hes seen it before.

Hes seen this kind of combat fatigue in people.

Abbot shows his strengthin the episode by donating blood while working on patients.

This character trait demonstrates the mental fortitude of these doctors in the face of insurmountable odds.

It is also a role reversal from when fans first meet Abbot in Episode 1.

Robby finds the doctor standing on the roof after a particularly daunting night in the ER.

Abbot sets the tone for the high-stakes worldbut disappears until Episode 12.

Having heard about the shooting on his personal police scanner, however, Abbot immediately jumps in to help.

True to Robbys observation, this job is the gift that keeps on giving.

Doctors such as these not only have to treat physical trauma but also manage their emotional violence as well.
