Audiences saw all manner of wounds, bloodshed, and even human waste.
While definitely nasty, this was more humorous than tragic.
Throughout the season,Whitaker changes his scrubs 3-5 times after increasingly nasty encounters.
While debriding a wound, blood spatters all over him.
It would have been fun to see Whitaker have one more mishap before the end of the season.
Another gross interaction would have made perfect sense at the end of an already long and arduous shift.
However, there’s also a benefit of Whitaker leaving this gag behind.
As Santos is leaving, she notices Whitaker going back into the hospital.
She follows, and discovers that he has been living there without anyone knowing.

One more scrub gag might have messed with the emotional importance of this scene.
Hopefully,The Pittcan continue to use Whittaker as a meaningful yet hilarious character.
