Bitty Schram

Delicate, sheltered Monk has an earthy sidekick, Sharona Fleming (Bitty Schram), the nurse he hired to help him curb the phobias that consumed him after his wife was killed by a car bomb. He regularly outwits the officers who grudgingly seek his help, Capt. Leland Stottlemeyer (Ted Levine) and his doltish deputy, Randall Disher (Jason Gray-Stanford).
