NOT THE DOCTORS: IS SHARON GOODWIN ACTUALLY THE MOST IMPORTANT CHARACTER IN CHICAGO MED?

Sometimes it arrives in an ambulance.

And sometimes it sits in an administrator’s office, making impossible decisions so everyone else can do their jobs.

Sharon Goodwin may not wear a surgeon’s gloves.

She may not perform life-saving procedures.

She may never receive the same spotlight as the doctors around her.

But without her, Gaffney Chicago Medical Center would not be the institution viewers have come to know and love.

And that may be the greatest measure of her importance.
