Episode Detail: Life Sentences - Gideon's Crossing
A frequent drug-test volunteer (Richard Edson) to whom Ollie has grown attached is diagnosed with leukemia. He responds to an experimental treatment, but then is arrested for robbery. The upshot: he can't be treated in jail. Meanwhile, Brucie's having a hard time treating a Haitian patient with symptoms of meningitis. A big problem is the language barrier---the man keeps repeating the word “biskit,” and Brucie has no idea what that means. A nurse practitioner from New Orleans named Money Raspberry Dupree (Hedy Burress) is more than willing to help.
