Lisa Nussbaum

Lisa Nussbaum is the daughter of Abe Nussbaum.

History
Sam came to Lisa's father, Abe's, home for a house call. Lisa was frustrated because he drank a lot and wasn't doing much in his life. His home healthcare worker, Simone Parker, enabled him instead of helping him. She left in anger and Sam talked to Abe about his health and how to improve it. He said that without his late wife, he had nothing to look forward to. Sam tried to get him to come in for an exam, but Abe declined.

Abe later came into the practice and agreed to be examined. Sam diagnosed COPD and said he wanted to talk about getting him better in-home care than Simone.

When Pete found out that Simone had several credit cards in Abe's name, the doctors called in Lisa, who said that since her mother died, her father had become a completely different person. He'd been pushing his daughter away. Lisa was told she needed to get rid of Simone and they'd help her find someone else.

When Abe found out that Simone had been fired, he said he knew she'd been stealing and said he didn't care, because he'd hired her because he liked to look at her ass. He admitted it bothered him to need help because he'd always been the one to help. He'd taken extra jobs and sacrificed where needed to give his family whatever they wanted.

Sam brought Lisa to Abe's home and she invited him to come live with her and her family, saying she'd love it. She said she wanted to be the help for once. He agreed to move in with her.
