Dr. Melinda Warner is a medical examiner in the New York City Police Department. After working as a doctor in the United States Air Force to pay for medical school and serving two tours during the Gulf War, Warner left the military to take care of her daughter, and became an Assistant Medical Examiner for the NYPD. ("Blast") In 2000, having reached the rank of Medical Examiner, she was assigned to the 16th Precinct to replace Dr. Elizabeth Rodgers who had begun to work for Major Case in addition to Homicide. These two units took up most of her time, and she had to discontinue service to Special Victims. ("Noncompliance")
Over the years, Warner has become an integral part of the Manhattan Special Victims Unit, and her personal skills have contributed to the unit's high success rate in closing cases.
She was shot by Sophie Gerard, a troubled and grieving mother, during a standoff inside the morgue in the episode "Shattered". Neal Baer, producer from the show confirmed on his twitter account that she survived. [1] She is later seen back on the job and when Stabler and Benson question her ruling a death as a homicide she says "I was shot in the lung, not the head." Turns out she was right, just not in the way she believed.
