Welcome to the club. And I actually bought diamond scenes.

Nearly every of my early premonitions came true:


 * 1) the authors tried to give him a human face, in purpose of justifying his actions;


 * 2) there was horrible t(o)rauma from his past, which allegedly damaged him emotionally - for the same purpose;
 * 3) the final result of justifying is totally implausible, weak and stilted, because his actual behaviour strongly opposes his "diamond" excuses.

Examples of incoherency?


 * 1) He preaches about responsibility for the ones in his care, but where he was when Annie had a cardiac failure? He was obliged to be responsible for both Annie and Rookie (whom he blamed for his own negligence as attending).
 * 2) He says that he's not obliged to make someone's day better, but wastes his precious time on gossiping with an old lady about sweet little nothings, just to entertain her. Probably it's an answer for the first question.
 * 3) He says that idolizing doctors is foolish, but he actually idolizes himself, whining that "he's one and only" (thanks to God). And he wants MC to be another example of his species "because he/she shows potential". As if the other doctors were braindead, including elders!
 * 4) He makes excuses about his lack of patience, while he's actually aggressive even without any slightest provocation what could trigger his sudden outbursts. What amount of patience is needed to not attack unprovoken?

There is a huge difference between his theory and practice - it's just incoherent and inconsequent. I think that the book's author didn't know herself whom she wanted to create, so his character is as much underdeveloped, as clichy. There is literally one exception, when his behaviour doesn't seem artificial - his sorrow when Dolores died.

I'm trying to romance him, though it's Count Sacher-Masoch's work (even Jackie notices that)... I literally flinch when he spits another of his stupid, hateful, trollic opinion which nobody asked him for. However, he's still more interesting than the other potential suitors. Also, I like playing with fire.

Oh, and I noticed that my first post about him was deleted. My opinion was brutal, maybe too emotional, but still true.

PS. Aside "Males", "Doctors" and "Celebrities" tags, he should be also categorized as "Bullies". Because he is a bully as much as he's a doctor and celebrity.

PS2. Many players are so eager to forgive his scandalous behaviour, because he is quite handsome. I'm sure that you wouldn't be so tolerative if he was old and ugly.
