Notable Staff
Dr. Miranda Bailey
Species: Honey badger
Dr. Bailey is a skilled trauma surgeon who has saved Luther's life on two separate occasions:
S04E16: When Luther sustains three broken ribs and internal injuries after a building collapse during a ZSI operation, Bailey performs emergency surgery to repair the damage.
S05E22: Following Luther's near-fatal injuries at The Root, Bailey operates for five hours. Luther codes twice on the operating table, and Bailey brings him back both times. Her full damage report: four broken ribs (not three), a gunshot wound that missed the femoral artery by centimeters, and internal bleeding.
Series Appearances
S01E10 "Station 118"
Perry Stackwell is treated at Zootopia General after being rescued from his burning office. He agrees to cooperate with ZSI from his hospital bed.
S04E16 "Incoming"
Luther is rushed to Zootopia General after a building collapses on him during a ZSI raid. Dr. Bailey performs surgery to address three broken ribs and internal injuries. This begins the recovery arc that spans several episodes and introduces The Chart.

The episode opens with the Station 118 crew rushing Luther into the emergency bay. Luther has sustained:
- Through-and-through gunshot wound to the right thigh
- At least four broken ribs
- Facial lacerations
- Strangulation contusions
- Internal bleeding
Pawbert watches through the surgical suite window while Nick and Judy stand vigil. After five hours of surgery and Luther coding twice on the table, Bailey emerges to confirm he will survive.
The hospital becomes the site of key emotional moments:
- Pawbert's bedside breakdown, confessing his guilt over refusing Icener's demands
- Luther waking through sedation to comfort Pawbert
- Nick creating THE CHART 2.0 to document Luther's recovery misadventures
- Luther's repeated escape attempts, eventually totaling twelve
Trivia
- Hen Wilson of Station 118 uses a RapidVet-H test to determine Luther's blood type as DEA 4-Positive during his transport, enabling rapid transfusion upon arrival.
