The Resident / int_1c564505	type	Hiding the Handicap
The Resident / int_1c564505	comment	Hiding the Handicap: Dr. Bell, the arrogant chief of surgery, suffers from uncontrollable hand tremors that make it dangerous for him to do delicate procedures. Rather than admit his problem (which is already an Open Secret in the hospital), he resorts to trickery (such as having Dr. Okafor secretly operate an advanced surgical instrument in a procedure Bell is ostensibly performing in a live webcast), taking short-cuts that make the procedures easier for him but increase the risk to the patient, engineering blatant cover-ups when something goes wrong, and self-medicating with a drug that has nasty psychological side effects.

The Resident / int_1e12b5b7	type	Lawful Stupid
The Resident / int_1e12b5b7	comment	Lawful Stupid: Dr Pravesh is such an adherent to the hippocratic oath and the medical rules that he will follow them even at a cost of innocent lives. Examples include: He refuses to follow Hawkins' lead in torturing a patient on the hook for murder and hostage-taking, even though said torture would reveal the location of a hostage who could be executed at any minute. This lawful stupid trend is averted however when a lawsuit arises due to the torture, since Pravesh lies on Hawkins' behalf. He refuses to obtain medical records due to his qualms about accessing confidential information, even though getting this patient information would confirm whether a potentially faulty drug was responsible for several deaths. Said information would also save the lives of other people currently on said drug. He refuses to report a pilot to the authorities for his alcoholism for the same reason as above as well as 'patient trust', even though said pilot admitted that he could've been responsible for a lethal plane crash thanks to that alcoholism. He was lucky that said pilot WASN'T responsible for the plane crash that day. Pravesh ultimately steers away from this trend when a patient who tried and failed to commit suicide via drug overdose needed a liver transplant, as suicidal patients were ineligible for transplants.

Averted in "The Prince and the Pauper," when Bell performs a complicated "Whipple procedure" on a teenage cancer patient "flawlessly."

The Resident / int_2882c8c1	comment	It's revealed that Barrett Cain was an aspiring football player before he suffered a Career-Ending Injury, forcing him to find a different career instead. This left him the bitter and angry dick we still see as of Season 4. Although his 'all about the money' approach to medicine also makes him very unpleasant, a conversation with Austin shows that Cain too feels the pressure of being one of the rare black surgeons. Later on, his attempt to save lives during a car accident gets him hit and severely injured, endangering his surgical career and very life in the process (his residents puncturing his lung during an operation didn't help). He's currently languishing in the very same medical center that he put his comatose patients into (who'd never wake up), but Austin speculates that it'll be the comeuppance he needs to change his behavior for the better.

The Resident / int_3ed23024	type	Surprisingly Realistic Outcome
The Resident / int_3ed23024	comment	Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Late in season 2, Bell reveals to his assistant that the hospital's donations are down over 40%. When asked why, he dryly points out that having one doctor discovered to be behind a massive cancer patient fraud who was then murdered and then partnering with a company that was a massive scam selling inferior devices tended to scare away potential investors. Hawkins' decision to torture a murderous patient for information on a hostage comes back to bite his ass in a lawsuit brought by the victim. Only Pravesh's last-minute lie on Hawkins' behalf saves him. Hawkins lies on behalf of a patient who needs a liver transplant but tried to kill himself. When this lie is discovered, Hawkins is fired. The Covid-19 pandemic plays further havoc with the hospital finances as elective surgeries are virtually non-existent during the pandemic's peak and so hurts their bottom line. It also forces the surgeons like Bell to realize how out of their league they are on the front lines against a virus. Kim goes out of his way to get the hospital much-needed supplies for the pandemic. He still ends up being fired by the board with Conrad giving him props for that one move but nothing else. When Kim complains, Conrad points out one selfless act (which Kim had to be guilted/browbeaten into) doesn't make up for all the terrible stuff Kim has done which hurt the patients and put the hospital in that bad spot in the first place. Red Rock decides that after all those financial losses, it's best to just sell the hospital rather than pour more of their money into propping it up as "we don't throw good money at bad." Now that Chastain has gone public, the quality of their care will go down since they must treat everyone and can only spend so much time on each patient.

Justified as the problem came from a tremor that was stated to be psychosomatic and stress-induced— Bell also spent season one with crippling financial problems. After becoming CEO and launching a successful supplement, his finances cleared up, thus allowing the tremor to fade.

The Resident / int_71e8a5c5	comment	Trauma Conga Line: In Season 3, a football player came into the hospital after O Ding on sleeping pills. It turned out he was Driven to Suicide after suffering chronic pain from multiple serious injuries in-game, getting cut from the team, his girlfriend leaving him, and his parents divorcing. All in the span of a few days... Cain realizes what harm he's unleashed on people and Chastain by covering up the outbreak of candida auris. Later on, his surgery on one of his former love interests goes wrong and she dies on his watch. After that, Cain's career is threatened by Kim. Kim isn't the only threat to his career however, as he's severely injured after being hit by a car and his lung is punctured after one of his interns chooses to operate without an attending surgeon and makes a mistake. After being in a coma for weeks, he's still unable to operate or breathe on his own. He's currently suffering Laser-Guided Karma, residing alone in the same vent farm he sends his patients who have no hope of ever waking up again.

The Resident / int_895ec17	type	Only in It for the Money
The Resident / int_895ec17	comment	Only in It for the Money: The hospital administration is more interested in cost and profit margin than they are in actually helping people. One of the first things the characters mention when trying to convince the admins to allow lifesaving surgery on someone is either the optics or money that could ultimately be gained. The administrators hold a video conference with their counterparts at other hospitals, hoping to get one of them to take an undocumented immigrant with cancer off their hands by trading them some Medicaid patients. The hospital hires a consultant to train staff in "upcoding": recording tests and procedures using more expensive billing codes so the hospital gets reimbursed more. When a homeless woman with altered mental status who will require extensive treatment appears at the hospital, Bell and the administration are all set to dump her on another facility—until they find out she's the daughter of one of the richest families in the state of Georgia. She's moved to the VIP wing immediately, and Bell plans to hit up her parents for a charitable donation. Lane Hunter runs her cancer treatment center in a way that maximizes profit rather than patient survival: using expensive proprietary drugs on which she owns the formulas, aggressively treating the most hopeless cases, and even going so far as to treat patients for cancers they don't have to generate more billings. Subverted in "Run, Doctor, Run." A drug needed to treat a rare (and usually fatal) amoebic infection costs $48,000 a dose. The manufacturer's CEO delivers it personally, and explains that the high price is "just enough to keep the lights on" at his company, which only makes this one product—the drug is so difficult to make, and so rarely needed and used, that "big pharma" won't produce it because they can't make a profit. A disheveled man with a brain condition was initially left in the hospital hallways to rot, but when 'Gold-Plated insurance' was mentioned, Cain is no longer reluctant to operate on the man and asks his insurance. All it takes for Kim to re-hire Hawkins is the promise that Hawkins will bring Atlanta FC's services to Chastain and ensure a lucrative deal.

The Resident / int_b349a835	comment	Soiled City on a Hill: Chastain Park Memorial Hospital has a beautiful building with bright, happy public spaces, and is best known in the community as the home of charismatic star surgeon Dr. Randolph Bell — but the senior physicians (such as Bell and Hunter) and hospital administrators are Only in It for the Money, suffer from Chronic Backstabbing Disorder, and regularly resort to subterfuge to cover up their medical mistakes and bad decisions. At the affiliated cancer treatment center run by Dr. Lane Hunter, they're keeping the patients' medical records secret and signing the staff to strict nondisclosure agreements—ostensibly to protect the "trade secret" formulas of experimental, proprietary drugs owned by Hunter and her investors. The secrecy means that when one of Hunter's patients checks in to the main hospital to be treated for problems ancillary to their disease (such as "opportunistic infections") or side effects of the drugs, the hospital staff doesn't know enough about what they are dealing with. In "Total Eclipse of the Heart," we learn that the full story is even worse: Hunter has been giving chemo to patients who don't even have cancer, allowing her to collect from their insurers and giving her a reputation for "miraculous" cures. QuoVadis rep Julian is happy to work for her boss, who boasts of their medical devices being top of the line and manufactured right in Atlanta to ensure their safety. When she goes to check on a facility, Julian sees the workers taking devices out of boxes from China and putting them right into new boxes to be "homemade" Quoa Vadis creations. The next episode has boss Gordon showing investors a lavish lab where their "homemade" devices are created. Going there later, Julian finds the "lab" now totally empty and finally realizes the entire company is one massive fraud scam.

The Resident / int_b4a6ae4c	comment	Everyone Has Standards: Played for drama and lampshaded with regards to Dr. AJ Austin. One doctor criticizing another's bedside manor is one thing, Dr. Mina Okafor saying Austin is horrible with patients is quite another. Bell may be greedy, duplicitous, power-hungry and self-centered to the extreme...but even he is horrified when he discovers Lane Hunter (his lover) is giving patients who have no cancer chemotherapy just so she can get richer. While turning her in is partly to cover himself and the hospital, it's clear even Bell is disgusted by what Lane has been doing. Likewise, in season two, Bell thinks Quo Vadis is a great company to work with. But when a child nearly dies because of a faulty Quo Vadis device, Bell realizes the entire company is a huge fraud and urges the board to cut ties. He openly admits he's driven by guilt that a child nearly died because of the partnership he pushed and can't allow it to happen again. Season 3 has Bell becoming more disgusted at how far the hospital's new owners are going to help the bottom line over patients. He's also appalled as Cain (whose ego makes Bell look humble) blames others for his own mistakes and willing to let a patient die in a low-rent hospice rather than mess up his "perfect" record. Cain, who caused a superbug, is disgusted with how Kim is more concerned with covering up the disease than with fixing it. After spending the third season as nothing but a money-loving corporate stooge, Kim surprises everyone in the season 4 premiere when he uses Red Rock resources to get a shipment of much-needed equipment, knowing it can cost him his job but that the lives of the doctors and patients are more important and "maybe I can sleep a little better for once."

The Resident / int_b5171e10	comment	Tragic Villain: Bell, to a certain extent: over the course of the series, we learn that he's just gone through his second divorce, his hand tremors are worsening, the drug he's taking to mask that problem has psychological side effects including paranoia, and he's in sufficient financial trouble that he's selling a wealthy patient's thank-you gift, a 24-karat Rolex, on eBay the same day he got it. At the end of Season 1, he loses "the love of my life" when Lane Hunter is arrested for murder when her medical fraud is exposed. It hits a new low in the opening scene of "The Prince and the Pauper," when he picks up a prostitute who reminds him of Lane Hunter...and she turns out to be an undercover cop who arrests him for solicitation. He spends the night in jail and ends up with a felony conviction. It's revealed that Barrett Cain was an aspiring football player before he suffered a Career-Ending Injury, forcing him to find a different career instead. This left him the bitter and angry dick we still see as of Season 4. Although his 'all about the money' approach to medicine also makes him very unpleasant, a conversation with Austin shows that Cain too feels the pressure of being one of the rare black surgeons. Later on, his attempt to save lives during a car accident gets him hit and severely injured, endangering his surgical career and very life in the process (his residents puncturing his lung during an operation didn't help). He's currently languishing in the very same medical center that he put his comatose patients into (who'd never wake up), but Austin speculates that it'll be the comeuppance he needs to change his behavior for the better.

The Resident / int_da1e24b7	comment	Recovered Addict: Deconstructed twice. One patient gave up drugs and alcohol but kept getting drunk because he had been abusing alcohol for so long that he developed a medical condition that caused him to convert sugar into alcohol in his stomach. One patient developed dementia as a result of alcohol abuse. The fact that he quit drinking twenty years earlier didn't help, the damage to his brain was already done.

The Resident / int_f70710ae	comment	Blackmail Backfire: Played with in season 2 as Lane Hunter pushes Bell to secretly help her make bail by threatening to release a tape of them in bed together. Once he does so, Bell thinks that's it, only to find Lane expects him to testify on her behalf at the trial. Bell refuses to risk his reputation aiding her and tells her to just go right ahead and release the tape. Lane threatens to go into some of Bell's shady moves and risky surgeries but Bell just snorts on how, as much as they may dislike him, his staff despises Lane far more and "will back me before they support you." Subverted as Lane threatens Bell with the solicitation arrest he thought he had buried but that's ended when Lane is killed. Marshall Winthrop tries to use his power, prestige, and blackmail to force Kim into rehiring Hawkins. However, Kim knows 'where the bodies are buried', and forces Marshall to back down due to how devastating this knowledge is.

Conrad's time as a Combat Medic gave him the same skills.
