Dr. Nordhaus is a complex figure, characterized by a dry wit and a penchant for sarcasm that often masks the deeper layers of his personality. He embraces a somewhat narcissistic persona, often expressing disdain for societal norms and institutions, including feminism and religion, leading some to label him a misanthrope. Despite this cynicism, he possesses an unexpected fondness for his colleagues, occasionally putting aside his acerbic demeanor to apologize when his humor cuts too deep. A self-proclaimed maverick, Nordhaus exhibits traits reminiscent of a Byronic hero, driven not by a desire to save lives but by an obsession with diagnosing complex medical puzzles, which he likens to a "Rubik's complex." His dual specialties in Infectious Disease and Nephrology make him a Board Certified Diagnostician, though his unorthodox methods and occasional reckless behavior raise questions about his true motivations. While he may seem detached, his actions sometimes reveal a hidden commitment to his patients, even if it conflicts with his self-proclaimed indifference.
History[]
Dr. Gregory Nordhaus was born on June 11, 1959, to Blythe, a housewife, and John Nordhaus, a Marine pilot. His childhood was marked by instability, living in various countries due to his father's military service. This nomadic lifestyle nurtured his intellect but left him isolated, resulting in a loner personality. Nordhaus had a tumultuous relationship with his parents, particularly with John, who was both demanding and cold, leading to emotional scars that shaped his cynicism and fear of intimacy.
A pivotal moment in his youth occurred when he deduced that John was not his biological father, causing a rift that revealed underlying abuse. Inspired by a chance encounter with a buraku healer in Japan, Nordhaus was motivated to pursue medicine, believing in the value of unconventional wisdom. After excelling academically, a cheating scandal led to his provisional acceptance at the Seattle Memorial Hospital. His journey continued through various medical residencies, solidifying his complex, often troubled character.
