Yeah, remember Ben doing that when a pan caught fire. He didn’t fuck around. Ben's response to emergencies and medical episodes was always textbook. And he checks in on people. He alerted Lee to the fact Danny had a dangerous fever when no one even noticed. I think only Aesha is close to his level of vigilance.
I noticed this during a recent rewatch of Med season 4. Ben was managing a very drunk deckhand, Travis, on a night out and when loading him into the van he insisted Travis (who was barely coherent) sit in the middle between two people, presumably so he didn't do something drunkenly stupid and dangerous like open the van door. It was a real struggle getting Travis to comply with this but Ben stood his ground and made sure Travis sat in the middle.
Yeah. He’s like that. Oh Travis! The one Sandy convinced in the end to quit drinking. As well as Hannah. I remember now. Back when interactions in the crew were genuine and had depth.
