About this listen

 Kelly and Mark discuss this unforgettable episode. We Hope you enjoy it! In “A Place to Die,” the twelfth episode of Season 5 of Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman, Dr. Michaela Quinn faces a crisis when a mysterious staph infection spreads through her clinic, causing the deaths of several patients. The episode begins with Franklin, a railroad station worker, dying from the infection after treatment for a splinter, followed by Mr. Jacobs, who succumbs after a hernia operation. Dorothy Jennings, treated for a minor cough, also falls gravely ill but survives. As fear grips Colorado Springs, townspeople avoid the clinic, suspecting it as the source of the outbreak. Dr. Mike, with help from Sully, Colleen, and Dr. Andrew Cook, investigates and traces the infection to contaminated items within the clinic, particularly the linens, after Mrs. Yung contracts it while cleaning sheets. Faced with no other solution, Dr. Mike makes the heart-wrenching decision to burn all the clinic’s contents, including her books and diplomas, and fumigates the building with sulfur to sterilize it. Though the town remains wary, Sully’s successful treatment for stitches begins to restore trust in Dr. Mike. Meanwhile, the episode explores the growing romance between Colleen, home from college, and Andrew, adding a lighter subplot amidst the medical drama. The story highlights Dr. Mike’s resilience and the community’s struggle with fear and loss in the face of an invisible threat.
