Dennis Whitaker

Dennis Whitaker. a 26-year-old, 4th year medical student at Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center. He is on the shorter average height, standing at 5'7, with sunken, dark brown eyes and a small, round face. he has short brown hair. Hailing from Broken Bow, Nebraska, Whitaker is a small-town boy who left life on his family's farm to pursue his dreams in medicine. He is the youngest, with 4 older siblings, and has 7 nieces and nephews. Whitaker is the first of his family to ever go to college, let alone medical school. Dennis is sensitive, quiet, and resilient. He tends to think the best of people by default, which can make him appear a little naive. His farm background means he is a hard worker who is unfazed by gore or animals. He dislikes lying and becomes stressed when others do it. He does not engage in gossip. Dr. Robby believes the awkward Dennis is a bit of a sleeper who will one day make an excellent ER physician. He is shown to go head-to-head with Santos, who is brash and extremely confident. He doesn't back down to her and even teases her back. He tends to trail and hang around Dr. Robby.
