decision to give main character and
Hospital heart dr. mark Greene brain
cancer I'm afraid the tumor is
inoperable he spends the better part of
his final season steadily deteriorating
allowing fans a painful bedside view of
his final days to love with life the
worst part was that he left a note to
all his colleagues telling them what
they meant to him as much as part of me
would like to believe that the ER can't
go on without me the smarter part
realizes that you're an incredible group
of doctors and nurses who approach every
day with such skill compassion and
thoroughness and when it comes to
patient care I know my absence will

on the sundae the crying baby covered in
his mother's blood born in blood both of
us number three the Tenth Doctor Doctor
Who I could still die if I'm killed
before regeneration then I'm dead this

companions but it's his final words that
make this a tearjerker
