Sienna Trinh
He and Sienna meet up for the first time in Chapter 2. Sienna is excited and can't wait to get started, but Mitch laughs and questions whether Sienna is indeed his resident. The moment passes when Sienna tells him that she is very thrilled to meet him.

In Chapter 5, Sienna tells you and your friends that Mitch keeps telling her how lucky he is that she is his resident, which means a lot to her. In Chapter 7, Sienna tells you and Jackie that one of his patients had died and she had to tell the family. When asked why he didn't tell the family himself, Sienna says that he said 'he wanted to see how the pros did it' and that he's very eager to learn from her. In Chapter 13, it is revealed that he is lazy and disrespectful which causes Sienna to yell at him that respect must be earned not asked for. She realizes that she has let him get away with it for far too long, and Marlene encourages her when she gives him a piece of her mind. You can also encourage her or calm her down.

In Chapter 14, fellow physicians begin to make fun of him, calling him "Puddle" in reference to Sienna's earlier outburst. You can tell Sienna that it's what he deserves or that the name-calling is going overboard, but she tells you that if he didn't want the reputation of being lazy, he should have put the work in that was required. Later though, she tells you that he quit his job.

Garry Garrison
When there is a "Code Brown" on one of the floors, he is found laughing his butt off at Gary who is knee-deep in fecal matter. He says that Mitch made a joke to a patient being admitted from the E.R. but unfortunately she was admitted because of explosive diarrhea. You can order him to give Gary a piggyback ride to the lockers to get cleaned up, which he protests but does anyways. He says he is on "Team Mitch".
