Conrad Hawkins

**Dr. Conrad Hawkins** is an attending physician at Chastain Park Memorial Hospital. He is portrayed by Matt Czuchry.

## Biography

Dr. Conrad Hawkins is introduced as a tough, brilliant and cocky senior resident, who supervises an idealistic young doctor, Dr. Devon Pravesh, on his first day. He pulls the curtain back on all of the good and evil in modern day medicine.

He is a very intense man. He is shown to be very tough on the residents under him, but only so that they learn the practicality of being a doctor. This is first shown in the *Pilot* episode, when he tells Devon that just because he has the white coat and a stethoscope, it does not mean he is a doctor. Conrad's intensity is probably influenced by his time as a medic in Afghanistan.

However, Conrad does care for his patients and the lives of people in general. He has no problem doing the right thing, in spite of the consequences.

Despite his arrogance, he can be a kind and engaging young man.

A man he had saved a couple of episodes before brings Conrad in to give a young pro soccer player for Georgia FC a second opinion after the young man, Dax, is convinced that the team doctor missed something. After Dax is seriously injured in soccer practice, Conrad returns to Chastain with the young man and attempts to help Bell and AJ treat him, incurring the wrath of Kim, who bans Conrad from the hospital. Secretly consulting with Bell and AJ by phone, Conrad is able to diagnose Dax with a genetic condition and saves his life and career. Bell and AJ reveal Conrad's actions to the team's owner, who is grateful, and he offers Conrad a job as the team's doctor and to get him a position at St. John's. Instead, Conrad uses his new job to leverage Kim into rehiring him at Chastain as Chief Resident, knowing that Red Rock would be furious if they discovered Kim passed up on all of the opportunities Conrad's new job will bring them. Kim is forced to concede and Conrad is reinstated in Chastain and promoted to Chief Resident.
