Psychological Background: Rick's father was a psychiatrist so it was expected of him to go into the field. He no longer drinks alcohol due to having found he had a tendency to abuse the stuff and during that time had black outs to which he doesn't remember what happened. That was during college and it reminded him too much of his younger years where he had tried to black out things that his mother did. He did experiment with some other drugs during that time but nothing serious and learned early on that it wasn't worth the risk. While in college and doing his residency he'd blow off steam by playing at local bars during amateur nights. He found this to be a great way to distress although there were times he went days without sleep. After residency he settled down and now only plays at home.

Personality Quirks: Likes to doodle and will often do that while listening to patients, sometimes drawing them but other times just images that come to his hand since he doesn't really think about it. When he gets up in the morning has to have his coffee and cigarette. He likes his caffeine and sugar as well. He will survive on that more so then eating healthy.

History: Rick grew up with a stay at home mother who wasn't always the most stable of persons however he did manage to get through his early years. His father is a noted psychiatrist and he had the pressure while growing up to follow in the family footsteps. He tried to rebel when he was in high school and college by playing the guitar. He found he was good at it but he knew he wasn't good enough to go beyond the local bars. When he did his residency he looked at several hospitals however his father wanted him to go to the one he worked at. Rick made sure to go elsewhere. He didn't want to be in his father's shadow. He was determined to make a success on his own without his father's name.

During his residency he found he had a real flair for psychology and in particular being able to help terminal patients deal with their diseases. He decided to specialize in this field. He found it very rewarding being able to help those who might die accept it and those who did survive to celebrate with them. He transferred to Ocean View after his residency wanting to put a bit more distance from his family. He loved both his parents but he knew they brought out the worst in him and he'd had enough of that. This way he could be on his own and hopefully not have them in his life anymore.

Over the years he's had a few girl friends and even a couple of boy friends but nothing really serious. It was more fun time then anything. The longest relationship he's had has been six months and that was back during the time he had black outs.. He wonders sometimes if he is capable of having a serious relationship but he figures he's only thirty he has plenty of time for that. So for now he's more then willing to play the field and just wait to see what happens.
