And as for Rick still hanging around his dead body, I'm sure he was just having a tough time. He just killed his best friend, I doubt he had the willpower to stab him in the head right after. Or maybe he was waiting to see if what the doctor said was true about everyone being infected. Assuming that's what the doctor really told him.
