General Hospital News – Who Is Emily Foster?

Firehouse 51’s Emily Foster is a smart, confident, and easy-going paramedic. The show set up an exit storyline for the character during the last few episodes of the 8th season.

There was a scene where she performed a fasciotomy to a patient who has compartment syndrome in his arm. When the patient got to the hospital, Chicago Med’s Will (Nick Gehlfuss) asked who performed the procedure. When he learned that it was Emily, he immediately commented that she missed her “calling.”

In the season finale, Emily made the decision to return to medical school. She had an interview with Northwestern University and she’ll most likely pass given that she’s about to leave the show.
