Dr. Hank Lawson
Hank (Mark Feuerstein) is a handsome, smart, talented and innovative doctor in his mid-30s who thinks fast on his feet, solving even the most unexpected problems like a "Medical MacGyver." Grounded and calm under pressure, Hank stands up for what he believes no matter the consequence.
It's because of his convictions that he finds himself without a job and without prospects; Hank opts to save a neighborhood teen instead of attending to the less urgent needs of a powerful hospital patron, who ends up dying while Hank's attentions are on the boy. Hank gets fired, blackballed from every hospital in town, and dumped by his fiancée, Nikki, who resents Hank for his decision.
But no matter how difficult it sometimes makes his life, Hank can't help that he's a passionate, independent-thinking straight-shooter who never hesitates to tell it like it is, no matter how rich or powerful someone may be. Which is why as Hank's practice grows, he will find himself being continually challenged with finding the right balance between doing good and doing well.
