Elizabeth returns to her job at County General soon after the start of season 9, where she becomes harsh with patients, curt with colleagues, and particularly clashes with Med Student Paul Nathan (Don Cheadle) who is trying to become a physician despite advancing Parkinson's Disease.
Elizabet se vratila na svoj posao u Opštoj bolnici ubrzo po početku 9. sezone i postala je oštrija prema bolesnicima, odsečna prema saradnicima, a pogotovu se sukobila sa studentom Polom Nejtanom (Don Čidl) koji je pokušavao da postane lekar uprkos uznapredovaloj Parkinsonovoj bolesti.
