Personality
Even though he is hard on you, he has a caring side towards his patients.

Your Character
Dr. Ramsey first encounters you when a woman collapses in the waiting room as your walking by. You assist him in diagnosing hemothorax and performing an emergency thoracotomy but he criticizes your speed and technique. Later, you realize he's your idol and your attending. You can choose to make a better impression and later to have a drink with him in the bar. In Chapter 4, you discover your patient, Dolores Hudson, is a friend of his and you can ask her about him in front of him. You have the option to search for a stuffed frog plushie with him for her and from there, get to know him better. When Dolores passes away, you decide to stay with her premature son in the NICU and can choose for Ethan to join you. In Chapter 4,while on the hunt for Dolores' stuffed frog for her son, Your Character finds it to have ended up down a storm drain. Subsequently, Your Character makes a reference to IT in this premium scene when he/she says to Ethan Ramsey: "Oh hell no. I am not going down there! Haven't you seen 'IT'?". It is implied he has never seen this movie.

Dr. Aurora Emery
Because you and Aurora are assigned as partners for your first batch of patients, Dr. Ramsey is also Aurora's attending physician.

Dr. Harper Emery
As of last year, Harper is his boss. In Chapter 4, you see them talking privately and can eavesdrop on them or not. If you eavesdrop on them, you hear that he will fight her every step of the way. With the other interns, you find out that they were discussing the position he is vacating to become the new head of the diagnostics unit. They have decided to open it as a junior fellow and the new interns may compete for it. Their work throughout the year will determine who wins the position.

Dr. Naveen Banerji
He was Ethan's mentor and offers wisdom to him. In Chapter 3, you overhear a heated argument between them that makes Ethan punch the wall and tell Naveen that he is no longer his teacher. In Chapter 4, you find out Naveen retired and Ethan has been promoted to his position. Ethan doesn't want to let Naveen down.

Dolores Hudson
Dolores was Ethan's very first patient when he was an intern. Over ten years ago, she had come in with a burst appendix and was freaking out; he helped calm her down. He emailed her to check in on her but she was recently divorced and feeling alone, so they went out for coffee. They kept in touch every few months after that. If Your Character asks her if Ethan had always been so handsome, she replies that he was cute back when she first met him. But that to be honest, she thinks he (Ethan) has aged like a fine wine.
