In standard fashion , The Pittdoesn’t outright explain why Dr. McKay wears an ankle proctor . When McKay ’s ex - husband , Chad , was in the infirmary , his fresh partner , Chloe ( Jonetta Kaiser ) , advert to the fact that she had fought with McKay and had a restraining order against her . Chloe obviously does n’t have an ankle joint monitor , so it seems that McKay was given a harsher penalization for the fight that included an ankle monitor as part of her parole . That ’s likely due to the fact that McKay has a account of substance misuse , which also likely means she had a vicious record before the fight .
