Chief of Internal Medicine Dr. Amy Larsen is a great doctor but doesn't have the best bedside or professional manner. She is on thin ice with the hospital board due to her behavior. She is secretly dating Chief Resident Dr. Jake Heller. Amy asks Dr. Richard Miller about a patient of his, Bill Dixon, who died, and wants to know if he accidentally gave him metoprolol, which can't be mixed with the medication he was given. He denies this and says that he aspirated on his lunch and could not be saved. Amy tells him that she ordered an autopsy, and if he lied, he is done. After treating a pregnant patient and her co-workers rudely, her ex-husband, Dr. Michael Hamda, the Chief Medical Officer, tells her to go home for the night. On the way home, she gets into a car accident, and suffers from a traumatic brain injury. When she wakes up from surgery, she loses the memories of the last eight years of her life. Jake administers a test ordered for the pregnant patient by Amy, which ends up saving her life. Richard replaces Amy as Chief. Amy asks Michael to help her become a doctor again.
