Landry Olsen

Landry Olsen, a character in the Open Heart series, is an intern at Edenbrook Hospital. He is first seen in Chapter 1.

Appearance
Landry has green eyes, short curly brown hair and fair skin. His casual outfit consists of a blue top, a checkered orange shirt and green trousers. If you choose to hide behind him in Chapter 1, he is described to have a small frame.

Personality
He appears shy and not very confident, as he freezes when Dr. Ramsey approaches him and wants you to hide him, and he also won't attempt to talk to the girl in a bar. He says he is a terrible flirter, and when he jokes, he isn't sure if it's clear to others that he is joking.

As a doctor, he loves the science and solving problems such as the mysteries behind cases. However, he does not enjoy small talk and finds it a waste of time with patients. He's also implied to show disregard for patients, such as sabotaging your character's pager and charts, impeding your ability to treat patients. Rafael mentions in Chapter 14 that from the way Landry treats any new patients, he appears selfish, weighing up what a patient could do for him.

Your Character
You first meet Dr. Olsen at orientation on your first day. Like you, he admires Dr. Ramsey and jokes that he has a shrine in his basement for him. He says you're lucky to have talked with Dr. Ramsey despite being berated by the attending. If you decide to make a better impression on Dr. Ramsey, you borrow his book and Dr. Ramsey autographs it. On Day 2, you and Landry are partnered together to present your cases during rounds. When he stutters in front of Dr. Ramsey, you can either bail him out or let him try to recover. He thanks you if you do the second. In Chapter 5, if you decide to wear the premium outfit, you have the option to kiss him either on the cheek or on the lips while at a game. Afterwards, Jackie remarks that she thinks you broke him. In Chapter 11, he comes along if you go skydiving with Kyra and your friends, although he was told they would only watch a show. Initially scared, after the jump he will say it was amazing and asks you to go again.

In Chapter 12, he is the only one of your friends who is against obtaining Mrs. Martinez's cure by unorthodox illegal methods. He believes she is safe and unharmed, living in the hospital and getting daily treatment, and would not gamble her current status for the small chance for a cure. He also believes you are going against your oath to do no harm. In Chapter 13, it is revealed it was Landry who betrayed you. In Chapter 14, he reveals that he sabotaged you because he was mad that you were number one in the rankings and had a chance of being on the diagonostics team. He believes he works harder than you, has better outcomes than you, and spends more time in the hospital than you do. He doesn't think your way of finding loopholes for patients (e.g. Your Hepatitis C patient) is what a good doctor should do. He blames you for not putting in a good word for him to Dr. Ramsey, and reasons that because you spent more time with Drs. Ramsey and Banerji that is why you were number one (not because of your actual abilities).
