Meet George Alexander Shawe, M.D. (Alex, please.)
He is: 33 years old.
Position in the Hospital: Psychiatrist.
Specialty: Child and adolescent.
History: Son of a British businessman, Alex was born in Salisbury, Rhodesia (renamed: Harare, Zimbabwe). Due to political unease, his family often moved back and forth from different parts of Africa to America. He and his brother and sister (he is the middle child) were home schooled, and he realised at a young age his interest in philosophy, literature, and yes, psychiatry. Through careful deliberation he decided that psychiatry would pay him the most, and so chose to pursue that as a career. When he was seventeen his family moved to New York, he took to the task of becoming The Best Psychiatrist Ever with great fervour. He graduated with a shiny M.D. badge thirteen long years later (attending Mount Sinai School of Medicine).
Personality: Alex seems to think of life as being one big reality television show; constantly scheming about strategy and alliances, and how to get someone out of his way. Outrageously ambitious, arrogant, and vindictive, he will stop at nothing to get what he wants -- but somehow usually ends up shooting himself in the foot. But whether or not he does this on purpose is a question I don't think he even can answer. He is consumed with material gain, and loves nothing more than to spend the money that he's earned on the ridiculous and pointless. He also is extremely meticulous about cleanliness almost to the point of obsession. Perfect for a psychiatrist. For all of his, let us say, "faults", he can be extremely loyal when he wants to be, namely to his young patients and his siblings.
Work History: Joined Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital in 2004.
Other:Has a very strange mixed accent, but most of the time it is categorised as British. He tends to emphasize certain words a lot. ("What ARE you DOing?!")
