Tamara Tunie: ME Dr. Melinda Warner

Quotes 

• Dr. Melinda Warner : No, for once Munch *isn't* crazy.

• Dr. Melinda Warner : [to Olivia]  I can't testify that pesticide caused Diego's cancer.

  Detective Olivia Benson : Why not?

  Dr. Melinda Warner : 'Cause it's almost impossible to prove. For starters, Diego Benitez is the only person in the building with follicular lymphoma.

  Detective Olivia Benson : But he and the other kids were exposed to that stuff every day for two years.

  Dr. Melinda Warner : And to asbestos, lead paint, cockroach and rodent droppings. All the amenities of sub-standard living conditions.

  Detective Olivia Benson : So any of those things could have made him sick?

  Dr. Melinda Warner : Or any combination. Or none of the above. We just don't know. Cancer is a complex multi-step process involving environment and genetics. Even if I found ten people in that same building with the same disease, I'd be telling you the same thing.
