There's more tragedy for some than for others, so it's created a certain way she has of working and maybe a certain shut down-ness.

"I don't want to do a medical show, surrounded by 9,000 extras, in some high energy thing where you pretend with your hands, placing them in sticky blood. "Years ago I did 'Chicago Hope' episode as a guest star, not in a doctor role," Harden told HNGN and a small group of reporters while promoting the show as the Television Critics Association Press Tour in July. Her portrayal is effortless, so its surprising to hear that doing a medical drama, especially something as fast paced and dialogue heavy as this, was the last thing she wanted.
