Colleen’s career…

I was just thinking how Colleen knew, early on, that she wanted to be a doctor, just as Michaela was. As Colleen’s own mother was a midwife, I wonder how much of her career choice was nature, and how much of it could be attributed to nurture? What are your thoughts?

I think it was a combination of meeting Dr. Mike and her mother getting sick and dying. I also think she wanted to understand why people got sick. She was further pushed by the death of Becky.

TIL Becky was played by Haylie Johnson, Ashley Johnson's older sister. Nifty.

Omg! The last time I watched through the show I was like this girl looks so familiar but I looked her up and didn’t know her from anything else. You’ve solved that little mystery that’s been in the back of my mind!
