Ethan Choi

Dr. Ethan Choi carries himself with a commanding, disciplined presence that instantly reflects his military background.

Backstory & Career
Ethan’s identity is deeply rooted in duty, honor, and the complex realities of life after active combat.
The Military Foundation
The son of a dedicated Navy veteran, Ethan grew up with a strong sense of patriotism and structure. He followed directly in his father's footsteps, joining the United States Navy and finding his true calling in medicine while serving as a Navy flight surgeon and medic. During his time on active duty, he served on the USS Carl Vinson and ran a medical aid camp in Baghdad. His time in combat zones forged him into a highly capable trauma physician who can make split-second decisions in chaotic environments, but it also left him carrying the invisible weight of PTSD—a struggle he quietly battles throughout his career. 
Gaffney Chicago Medical Center
Upon returning to civilian life, Ethan chose the high-intensity atmosphere of the Emergency Department at Gaffney Chicago Medical Center, starting as a resident in Emergency Medicine. His discipline and exceptional leadership skills under pressure allowed him to climb the ranks quickly, eventually earning him the promotion to Chief of Emergency Medicine. As a leader, Ethan is strict, strictly adheres to protocol, and expects the absolute best from his team, which occasionally causes friction with colleagues who prefer to bend the rules. 
Personal Life & Familial Ties
Living as a single, career-driven man in Chicago, Ethan's personal world largely revolves around his sense of duty to his community and his family. He maintains his status as a Navy reservist, occasionally stepping away from the hospital for deployments or recruitment events. 
His most complex personal dynamic involves his estranged, free-spirited younger sister, Emily. As a single brother trying to guide her, Ethan often struggles to balance his rigid, black-and-white worldview with the patience needed to help his sister navigate her chaotic life.
