She recklessly put herself on the line to protect a patient

In the Season 5 finale, "The Art of War," a man named Hector Florez (Felix Solis) witnesses the murder of Deputy Chief Donald Kent (Dennis Haysbert), so the gangs attack him in an attempt to keep him from speaking to the cops. A boy named Curtis Turner (Denzel Whitaker) is tasked by the gangs to finish the job by killing Florez in the hospital. Linda being Linda, she puts herself between the gun and the patient.

Turner's mother is a coworker of Linda's, and she doesn't believe he will pull the trigger. Unfortunately for her, she's wrong, and Curtis fires. After rendering aid to Florez, the other doctors and nurses notice Linda was also shot. Her life hangs in the balance as Danny searches for the killer, and the audience is left to wonder if she will survive. Although she ultimately does survive, the shooting causes serious damage to her psyche.

While attempting to do her duty and protect her patient, she forgot an important rule — that she has to keep herself safe first. She can't help any patients, if she herself isn't safe. Her sacrifice stands as one of the many shocking moments from the annals of "Blue Bloods."

To me, her worst move was not asking her patient anything that could've helped Danny find the shooter in season three episode named Ends and Means. Danny wasn't allowed a moment with the wounded person, but Linda of course was a part of the picture, but did she ask the person anything that could've been helpful? No.

God bless you always!!!
