[TM: What do I regret not saying?]
I regret not telling Mark Greene what a fantastic doctor he was. It seemed as if we were always at one another's throat, always butting heads, always looking to one-up the other. Looking back now it all seems so...insignificant. Hindsight is always 20/20, as they say.
Truth is, I greatly admired Dr. Greene. He was one of the very few physicians at County who handled their administrative duties as best they could without stepping on too many toes. It was remarkable, really. How he managed to do it for so many years I'll never know.
I wish he were still walking the halls of the hospital, but he's not. And I can't tell him everything I'd like to. I never even admitted it to myself, but he was a friend. Sure, we competed and argued and had our share of differences, but seemed to form some sort of bond over the years despite everything else.
No offense to our current ER staff, but the department was left with a very large void when we lost Mark. I only hope that somewhere he knows that.
