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, trying to justify his behaviour
 * 2) there was terrible t(o)rauma from his past, which allegedly made him this way
 * 3) the final result of this is totally implausible and incoherent, because his weak excuses are in strong contradction with his actual behaviour.

Ethan's logic - damn, it's worth a meme:


 * 1) He preaches about responsibility for the ones in his care, but where he was when Annie had a cardiac failure? And where he was when MC gave her wrong medication? It's attending's duty to supervise both their interns and patients, and he failed in both points. Later he blamed MC for his own negligence.
 * 2) He says that he's not obliged to make someone's day better, but he wastes his time on gossiping with old lady, just  to entertain her . He had a free time to fool around, while he was too busy to help with Annie's reanimation.
 * 3) He says that idolatry in doctors is foolish, but he actually idolizes himself,  stating that "he's one and only good doctor" and wanting MC to be another one "because they shows potential". As if the other doctors were brainless, 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. I mean his throwing false murder accusations on interns during morning round, before they did anything wrong (except breathing). What amount of patience is needed to just not attack unprovoken?

There are many inconsistences and plain contradiction in this character, as the author didn't know herself whom she wanted to create. Ethan's character is strongly underdeveloped and clichy, then implausible.

However, I still try to romance him, despite the fact he is a hateful troll. I literally flinch every time he spits another stupid and/or cruel opinion which nobody asked him for, and Pixelberry forces me to nod instead of argue.

I give him a chance for the same reason I was romancing Prick Peralta - because I have soft point in my heart for bosses.
