About Nurse Denver[]

Towards the end of "The Smell of Music", Denver is on Post Op duty. She is trying to examine a patient with the stethoscope but is unable to because of loud noises just outside. Winchester is playing on his French horn and Hawkeye and B.J. are banging oil drums in retaliation. "This is getting ridiculous," she says and walks over to the window to look at what is going on. Unfortunately, this brief moment of inattention allows the suicidal patient Saunders to get up from bed and escape from the ward. Hearing her yell of alarm, Potter rushes into Post Op and demands what is going on. "We only turned our backs on him for a second, and he was gone," she explains. Potter is highly annoyed. "I told you to keep an eye on him!" He orders the Post Op staff to split up and search for Saunders.
